1.Automated Online Support: A single term for this is “Chatbots”. These are programmed applications that respond to visitors of a website and users of a web application. Chatbots can be defined more easily with this illustrated scenario. “Live chat for websites and web applications is common these days. But they are operated manually by the staff of a company only during working hours. Visitors hence cannot be given 24/7 support. Enter Chatbots! These automated applications can be programmed with pre-defined greetings and responses to the most popular queries. An example for greetings include, “Hi, How can I help you?” Chatbots will be given special identities that resemble humans; can be an illustrated person as well. Automated responses to queries on a company’s products or services can be, “Thank you for asking. You can find details here…” followed by a URL link on the web app where information exists. This is a simple way of engaging customers and converting visitors to leads.

2.Progressive Web Applications: In simple words, this is a web application that works on any browser, responsive to any platform and always remains updated with modern web application trends. Progressive web applications can also work seamlessly on low quality networks and in areas that have limited access to the internet.

Visitors and users of the app can also be kept engaged through features that include push notifications. In addition to these, progressive web applications are delivered through HTTPS thus ensuring maximum security to all content.

3.Pop-Up Messages: This is different from Live Chat functions or chatbots. Such messages may provide immediate lead conversions. Examples include fill-in forms which collect contact details of visitors and also pop-us which enable instant download of brochures. Visitors and prospective clients can be kept engaged in this manner and also their time spent on your web application can be increased. There will be fewer bounce rates. Moreover, no extra software needs to be developed for this purpose. MPI believes that this will be a popular trend in 2020.

Artificial Intelligence has to be integrated in a web application for this purpose along with recognition of major languages in the world. Users of a web application can then find whatever they want by just speaking into the mike in their native tongues! There sure are web applications with this feature. But the count will increase by huge margins in 2020.

5.Cyber Security: There have been several reported cases globally of data breaches, cyber threats, website manipulation, and data theft. Hence, though it has been mentioned last; cyber security will be one of the most prominent features in web application development for 2020. More businesses and enterprises will approach IT security companies in India to develop data protection systems to combat hacking, along with harm to equipment, software or electronic data.
