Web Design Future
All times through humanity has dreamed about the opportunity to see the future. To see how surrounding objects, buildings and people are changing and transformed. Even many attempts have been made to predict future, for example we all know Nostradamus for his predictions. Was it successful or not – this is the question that doesn’t have one answer, opinions on this subject diverge. In this case one can only say – “wait and see”. Future prediction is a very risky exercise. It is better to try to assume the future. At least there will be no claim to absolute truth.
So what will be the future of the Internet? How will it affect and what will bring in a new website design, web development and other spheres of IT business? I am sure that many Internet users and web designers have already been thinking about this interesting question. Of course, each has his own opinion. However, the general trends of the Internet are pretty obvious, so we can’t leave them without attention and do not take into account. Therefore let’s watch and evaluate the most important ones.
In graphics the future will belong to vector technology and not for a bitmap. But vector technology does not mean vector Flash! Flash technology has been already used in the network for 7-8 years, but hasn’t gathered popularity despite many hopes pinned on it. The biggest international companies and corporations do not use on their websites Flash. Among them are Microsoft.com, IBM.com, Intel.com, which websites are quite complicated but doesn’t look like being such. In addition, many reputable in website design individuals (eg, Jakob Nielsen) have written numerous articles about the inappropriate use of Flash technology in a web development process. Therefore, in the near future we will be witnesses of a new vector format creation, which will be free from Flash defects, and which will be supported by all operating systems and popular browsers without installing any additional plugins. It remains only to wait patiently for a bright future, when software manufacturers finally come up with a common web format.
In the area of programming specific changes are not planned for the next few years. Currently there are several promising technologies and programming languages that are booming. If there will be something new, it will be the most likely based on what is already in use today.
As for Hyper Text Markup Language it is probably worth waiting for something new, more sophisticated than HTML and XML all together. The principles of placing information on the website most likely will remain the same, but the way of filing information for the visitor will change. There will be several ways of changing, among which it could be possible to choose the most appropriate at this time. Preference will be given for interactive variants, on which user will be directly involved in the site work. Users like this, especially now, when they are actively implemented in IT technology, in one way or another connected with interactivity.
In general, over time, web design will become so complex and perfect that it will be out of ordinary user possibilities. Thousands of amateur design studios in Internet will lose to several hundreds of professional champions. Developing a website with modern technologies will be possible just with a dozens of web professionals with wide experience and ability of self-improvement in their field. The site will be like creating an office building, just with one difference that a construction will be happening in the virtual world, which one day will not much differentiate from the real one.
Finally I will ask you not to judge me too hard for my attempt to suggest the website design and web development future. It is quite heavy and controversial topic. Let’s not argue, but do something for the IT development at least in Toronto to put Toronto Website Design and Toronto Web Development at the higher level more soon than you even could imagine before.
