9. Innovations that will be on top of website design in 2020

Advanced technology is inevitably impacting web design in modern days. But which web innovations will be the trendiest in 2020?

  • Chatbots

Websites in 2020 will be more conversational than ever thanks to the rising use of chatbots. Chatbots are at the user’s disposal 24/7 to answer the most frequently asked questions and guide users through the site. Moreover, advanced AI technology will keep making chatbots more adequate than ever.

  • Voice User Interface & Automated Assistants

Or in other words, the ability to lead an actual spoken conversation with devices. This is now possible thanks to AI and voice user interface technology. In the near future, we’ll see a rapid rise in the use of automated assistants in websites that use voice user interface technology. Having a conversation with the site you are visiting surely sounds exciting, but most importantly, it will help people with disabilities interact with the websites better.
