Artificial Intelligence (AI) will drive hyper-personalized user experiences. Websites will adapt in real-time to user preferences, browsing history, and behavior, offering content tailored to individual needs.
With the rise of voice search and smart assistants, web design will increasingly focus on voice-first interfaces. Websites will feature intuitive navigation optimized for spoken commands.
3D design is set to become a mainstream trend, with immersive elements providing a more engaging and interactive experience. Expect to see 3D animations, product visualizations, and dynamic effects.
As sustainability becomes a priority, websites will focus on eco-friendly hosting solutions and optimized designs to reduce energy consumption, appealing to environmentally conscious users.
Micro-interactions, such as subtle animations and responsive feedback, will play a crucial role in keeping users engaged and making navigation more intuitive.
AR and VR will enhance user experiences, particularly for e-commerce, real estate, and education. Interactive try-ons, virtual tours, and immersive learning will become standard.
Inclusivity will be at the forefront, with enhanced accessibility features such as voice navigation, screen reader compatibility, and high-contrast modes.
The democratization of web design continues with no-code and low-code platforms, empowering more people to build professional-quality websites without extensive technical knowledge.
Breaking away from traditional grid structures, asymmetrical designs will offer visually compelling and creative layouts that capture attention.
Websites will leverage analytics and user data more effectively to optimize layouts, navigation, and content, ensuring every design choice enhances the user experience.

AI and Personalization: A Game-Changer for Small Business Websites
There will no longer be companies without an online presence. Up until now most companies are on the web, but some still (somehow) have not developed websites. What Covid – 19 has taught us is that you have to be able to do business online. At very least you need a site to communicate to people when you are closed or have special hours and circumstances. Now, that doesn’t mean everybody is selling 1 million products or have a full-fledged e-commerce site, but every small business needs a website. Chances are the companies who don’t have a website will not be long for this world. They are dinosaurs and will become extinct.
Even traditional brick and mortar stores that don’t sell online, will need the ability to do so. That may not be your entire product line, but it’s a good idea if you have some standard products that can always be bought online. That way your business is never totally shut down no matter the tragic circumstances.
If you are a professional service, such as a law firm or CPA, you now need the ability to be paid online. One of my clients is a law firm that has been around since the 1800s. They recently had us build an improved payment solution for their website. The new functionality has lead to quicker payments as well as a savings of of over $12,000 a year. People during the pandemic have been scared to even go to the post office in many cases. So, having the ability to get paid online is crucial. If your website is not set up to accept payments, then that would be a good place for you to start and be ready if this horrible circumstance ever comes around again.
Too many websites are still stagnant, static sites and when the pandemic hit they had no way to quickly update their websites. The days of building a site and never making changes are gone (as they should be!!). Every site should be built using a Content Management System or CMS that is user friendly.
The percentage of people viewing sites on cellphones and pads has reached an all time high. During traumatic times, people have little patience for websites that don’t display on their device of choice. So if you are a late adopter with a site that doesn’t look good everywhere, now is the time, make it happen!
Look, if I had told you that we would have a pandemic that would shut down the world, forcing millions out of work, you would’ve said I am crazy. But like a scary movie, our world became a nightmare with Covid-19. Similar to 911, some things changed forever. After 911, everything from travel, to the way we purchase stocks and our normal behavior shifted forever. The same thing has happened with the pandemic. Now, as no one could’ve predicted this, very few were ready for the new world order. Some companies actually thrived during this horrible time. Some have survived and sadly many will go out of business forever.
But, looking on the positive side (if there is one) we now will be planning ahead for the next pandemic. Our small businesses will be far more ready, as we have to find a way to keep business says surviving even during the worst times when we cannot conduct business face-to-face. Most of us will never go back to our normal jobs, going into an office 9 to 5, as many will remain working from home. But the work will still need to be done, just in a different fashion. We have to be ready.
My recommendation for small businesses is this: take a look at your small business website, figure out what you can do in the event of another global catastrophe. Determine what is the bare minimum you need to keep your business afloat and make it happen. And of course, if you need any help at all, please contact us, we are happy to assist.
