It comes with beneficial feature wherein user need not reload as it loads all the content using JavaScript. Mostly, it uses ReactJS as base language for development.

It’s works with any JavaScript framework which makes it a compatible option in most of the use cases. It distinguishes your page with other web pages. UI also boosts the website performance and page interaction. So, next time when you plan to design a web page, do implement motion user interface technology.
3. Accelerated Mobile Pages
Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP), developed by Google, aims to speed up the web page performance by creating HTML copies of the existing webpages of the website. The Accelerated Mobile Pages are floating lightweight pages and the AMP page takes around less than 2 seconds to load, on the other hand, non-AMP pages can consume up to 20-22 seconds as loading time. What a drastic difference, user can experience while surfing. There are various advantages of following AMP trends such as reduced load time, low bounce rate, enhanced search engine optimized feature, mobile-friendliness, no requirement of the sitemap submission, and many more. AMP pages can increase the website’s visibility and rank your page to higher positions during search engine queries which in turn is also great for SEO.
4. Voice Search Optimization
Voice search is a new whose magic cannot be out looked. It already has a great impact on the web and more is yet to come. According to a recent research, about 30% of all searches will be done without the usage of screen by 2020. Speech recognition allows recognizing voice context and responding to queries. Speech synthesis is a text-to-speech component that allows scripts to read text content. A big shout to internet of things (IoT) for speech recognition. All the credit goes to IoT for voice optimization technique.
You might have heard about Siri from Apple, Alexa & Echo from Amazon, Google Assistant from Google or any other – voice search technology has witnessed a huge spike in its demand & popularity in the last few years. More and more people are relying on its usage. And, with the same concern, web developers are also required to optimized their websites for voice search aspects to stay ahead in the domain. In general, the technology allows you to speak your query to the device for getting the required information or search results instead wasting time on typing the keywords in the search box.
5. Push Notifications
Push notifications are a powerful tool for enhancing the overall user experience and marketing efforts of the company. Even though mobile applications traditionally have strong and flexible capabilities for user notifications, web apps gain momentum here as well. Push notifications are a very useful feature for the ease of users to get in touch with recent happenings and can click them over the notification bar.

Meanwhile, there is no need for the user to be active on the particular website to receive the push notifications. The primary goal of using push notifications is to enhance user engagement and it has been widely accepted in web development scenario. Irrelevant push notifications may result in negative outcomes also.
6. Progressive Web Applications
PWA’s is yet another feature for enhancing web development and web designing process which takes it to whole another level. The general idea of Progressive Web Apps is for easy display. They are applications written in JavaScript, CSS, HTML that are similar to regular web pages. They are visible in Search Engine Page Results and linkable : they work offline, can send push notifications and use device hardware the same way as native apps. Progressive web apps hold the property of being reliable, fast and engaging.
7. Artificial Intelligence
