It’s no secret that in the web development industry, everything is changing at lightning fast. If you follow new trends, then you most likely have witnessed the rise and fall of numerous technologies. However, the growing web development trends in 2020 are those sites, tools, and elements that have the greatest potential, popularity, and growth prospects. And of course, if you are developing sites, then its constant support and updates following these very technologies is your number one priority.
Progressive Web Applications
Recently, the popularity of native mobile applications has exceeded all expectations. Next Generation Progressive Web Applications have gathered information about the best user experience and have translated it into mobile applications. The technology is not new, since PWA appeared back in 2015. However, it took two years for developers to turn PWA into one of the main trends in web programming.
Like mobile 
applications, PWAs load when the network connection is poor or missing. Users can add PWAs shortcuts to smartphone screens to go back with one click. Besides, advanced web applications can send push notifications (pop-up notifications) to users and redirect them to pages. Last but not least, PWA pages are fast, reliable, and attractive thanks to UI and UX borrowed from mobile applications.
At the same time, PWAs bring significant advantages to their owners, such as interaction with visitors, higher conversion, and reliability. For example, using PWA, AliExpress doubled the conversion in all browsers. EXtra Electronics has quadrupled the number of users. Currently, PWAs have not yet become the main technology. This determines the high cost of developing PWA and the many efforts that are made to create them. In general, PWA is worth presenting web development trends in 2020. Not many sites can give you similar opportunities for conversion and interaction. Thus, in 2020 everyone (including us) expects to see a lot of noise around this trend, its active development, and rapid spread.
