Web development trends 2020

Here are some web trends for 2020:

Responsive web design in 2020 should be a given because every serious project that you create should look good and be completely usable on all devices. But there’s no need to over-complicate things.

Web Development in 2020: What Coding Tools You Should Learn article gives an overview of recommendations what you learn to become a web developer in 2020.

You might have seen Web 3.0 on some slides. What is the definition of web 3 we are talking about here?
There seems to be many different to choose from… Some claim that you need to blockchain the cloud IOT otherwise you’ll just get a stack overflow in the mainframe but I don’t agree on that.

Information on the web address bar will be reduced on some web browsers. With the release of Chrome 79, Google completes its goal of erasing www from the browser by no longer allowing Chrome users to automatically show the www trivial subdomain in the address bar.

You still should target to build quality web site and avoid the signs of a low-quality web site. Get good inspiration for your web site design.

Still a clear and logical structure is the first thing that needs to be turned over in mind before the work on the website gears up. The website structure for search robots is its internal links. The more links go to a page, the higher its priority within the website, and the more times the search engine crawls it.

You should upgrade your web site, but you need to do it sensibly and well. Remember that a site upgrade can ruin your search engine visibility if you do it badly. The biggest risk to your site getting free search engine visibility is site redesign. Bad technology selection can ruin the visibility of a new site months before launch. Many new sites built on JavaScript application frameworks do not benefit in any way from the new technologies. Before you go into this bandwagon, you should think critically about whether your site will benefit from the dynamic capabilities of these technologies more than they can damage your search engine visibility. Well built redirects can help you keep the most outbound links after site changes.

If you go to the JavaScript framework route on your web site, keep in mind that there are many to choose, and you need to choose carefully to find one that fits for your needs and is actively developed also in the future.
JavaScript survey: Devs love a bit of React, but Angular and Cordova declining. And you’re not alone… a chunk of pros also feel JS is ‘overly complex’

Keep in mind the recent changes on the video players and Google analytics. And for animated content keep in mind that GIF animations exists still as a potential tool to use.

Keep in mind the the security. There is a skill gap in security for many. I’m not going to say anything that anyone who runs a public-facing web server doesn’t already know: the majority of these automated blind requests are for WordPress directories and files. PHP exploits are a distant second. And there are many other things that are automatically attacked. Test your site with security scanners.
APIs now account for 40% of the attack surface for all web-enabled apps. OWASP has identified 10 areas where enterprises can lower that risk. There are many vulnerability scanning tools available. Check also How to prepare and use Docker for web pentest . Mozilla has a nice on-line tool for web site security scanning.

The slow death of Flash continues. If you still use Flash, say goodbye to it. Google says goodbye to Flash, will stop indexing Flash content in search.

Use HTTPS on your site because without it your site rating will drop on search engines visibility. It is nowadays easy to get HTTPS certificates.

Write good content and avoid publishing fake news on your site. Finland is winning the war on fake news. What it’s learned may be crucial to Western democracy,

Think to who you are aiming to your business web site to. Analyze who is your “true visitor” or “power user”. A true visitor is a visitor to a website who shows a genuine interest in the content of the site. True visitors are the people who should get more of your site and have the potential to increase the sales and impact of your business. The content that your business offers is intended to attract visitors who are interested in it. When they show their interest, they are also very likely to be the target group of the company.

Should you think of your content management system (CMS) choice? Flexibility, efficiency, better content creation: these are just some of the promised benefits of a new CMS. Here is How to convince your developers to change CMS.

Did you know that if a spider creates a web at a place?
The place is called a website

    Elon Musk said one year ago that he was “obviously overpaying” for Twitter a $44 billion deal. The social media company is now worth $19 billion, down 57%.

    X Is Now Worth $19 Billion, Down 57% From $44 Billion When Elon Musk Bought Twitter

    A year ago, tech mogul Elon Musk griped that he was “obviously overpaying” for Twitter in the $44 billion deal that the social network sued him to complete.

    Now we know how inflated Musk believe his bid was: X, the new name of Twitter, on Monday informed employees eligible for stock grants that they would receive shares at a valuation of $19 billion.

    News of X’s stock grants to employees with the reduced valuation was first reported by Fortune. Musk in March 2023 had told staffers that he estimated the company’s value had dropped to $20 billion.

    Abner Li / 9to5Google:
    Google’s Chrome team stops considering a Web Integrity API proposal that aimed to help enforce IP rights, count ad views, and limit bots, after DRM comparisons — Back in July, Google’s work on a Web Integrity API emerged and many equated it to DRM. While prototyped, it was only at the proposal stage …

    Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM
    https://9to5google.com/2023/11/02/google-chrome-web-integrity-api/

    Back in July, Google’s work on a Web Integrity API emerged, and many equated it to DRM. While prototyped, it was only at the proposal stage, and the company announced today it’s not going ahead with the proposed API.

    People took issue with how the Web Integrity API would bring DRM to the open web. Google “heard your feedback” and said today that the “Web Environment Integrity proposal is no longer being considered by the Chrome team.”

    However, it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

    It simply extends existing functionality on Android devices that have Google Mobile Services (GMS) and there are no plans to offer it beyond embedded media, such as streaming video and audio, or beyond Android WebViews.

    In the context of media, WebViews can be used to embed streaming video and audio in Android apps with advanced configuration options and UI customization. However, it can be abused:

    This brings a lot of flexibility, but it can be used as a means for fraud and abuse, because it allows app developers to access web content, and intercept or modify user interactions with it. While this has its benefits when apps embed their own web content, it does not prohibit bad actors from modifying content and, by proxy, misrepresenting its source.

    The new Media Integrity API allows “embedded media providers access to a tailored integrity response that contains a device and app integrity verdict so that they can ensure their streams are running in a safe and trusted environment, regardless of which app store the embedding app was installed from.”

    “WordPress-ylläpito” tarkoittaa usein sitä, että saat sivuillesi vain paikan, jossa ne majailevat, mutta päivitykset, tietoturva ja varmuuskopiointi jää sinun vastuullesi.

    Jos teette Google Ads -mainontaa, verkkosivujenne evästehyväksynnän tulee tukea Googlen uutta Consent Modea viimeistään maaliskuussa 2024. Lue blogistamme millaisia muutoksia tämä vaatii osalla sivustoja.

    https://www.karhuhelsinki.fi/blogi/verkkosivujen-evastehyvaksynnassa-otettava-kayttoon-consent-mode-jos-google-mainontaa-halutaan-jatkaa/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=ppc&fbclid=IwAR3IfLejAlDicvSZZJuTTksGr64Doe0Jr1XOJdT0H_IQbbnvT119-rfxSBQ_aem_Aa7Ij-2isXqenJVrNBg1fW_cQv4ePjW1xrRo9R2wSM2cMteEGH0-0jjCKXixCwZ3YYLiFSUEKKYI598tpi40u9Tj

    EU:n uusi Digital Markets Act eli DMA tulee voimaan 6.3.2024 ja sillä on merkittävä vaikutus kaikkiin Google Ads -mainontaa tekeviin yrityksiin.

    DMA:n myötä Google alkaa edellyttää mainostajiltaan uudenlaisen Consent Mode V2 -ominaisuuden käyttöä verkkosivuilla, joiden liikennettä Google-mainoksilla kasvatetaan.

    Consent Mode kytketään osaksi verkkosivujen evästehyväksyntää
    Consent Mode on osa verkkosivujen evästehyväksyntätoimintoa, joka tuli Suomessa pakolliseksi käytännössä kaikilla verkkosivustoilla Liikenne- ja viestintävirasto Traficomin syyskuussa 2021 julkaiseman ohjeistuksen jälkeen.

    Consent Mode välittää Googlelle tiedon siitä, saako mainoksesta verkkosivuille siirtyneestä käyttäjästä kerätä analytiikkaa ja kuinka paljon. Consent Moden uusi kakkosversio välittää jo aiemmin käytössä olleiden tietojen lisäksi myös luvat tarkemman käyttäjä- ja personointitiedon välittämiseen. Luvat kuuluvat evästehyväksyntätoiminnossa jo nykyisin käytössä olevaan markkinointievästeiden kategoriaan.

    Jatkossakin käyttäjä päättää, saako hänestä kerätä tietoa
    Ideana Consent Mode V2:ssa on, että jos verkkosivujen käyttäjä antaa luvan markkinointievästeille tai kaikille evästeille, hänestä voidaan välittää tietoa Google-mainostajalle entistä hienojakoisemmin. Jos taas käyttäjä ei anna evästelupaa, hänestä ei välity Googlelle tietoa. Ylivoimainen valtaosa verkkosivujen kävijöistä antaa luvan joko kaikille evästeille tai kieltää ne kokonaan. Evästeluvan antaa tyypillisesti verkkosivujen 60-80 % käyttäjistä.

    Uutta on se, ettei Google-mainontaa voi maaliskuusta 2024 eteenpäin tehdä enää lainkaan, jos Consent Mode ei ole toiminnassa mainonnan kohdesivustolla.

    Google tarjoaa myös mahdollisuuden kerätä tietoa ilman käyttäjän lupaa – tähän emme suosittele tarttumaan

    How to build a martech stack (which you will also use)
    https://nitor.com/fi/artikkelit/how-to-build-a-martech-stack?fbclid=IwAR0MT2_fQdGHb8j7gzqy9x-_x_0-C8rIXFoIqScXreTlDfx_QQEKaWsLpnE_aem_AQFZUWmlW3Kc0nmx9m5ZtUmUrakOyp7820-41k5-UIqh0CQgPTWGhSPUNFKuDDq3o71sZ9-26MThTiGicdgS-c5H

    The clock is ticking for marketing leaders as the world prepares for a cookieless future and the rise of emerging technologies around AI-driven marketing and hyper-personalisation. Yet, there is a big gap between aims and execution. Nitor’s Strategist, Eveliina Lakka, walks through different approaches to building your martech stack from a technology perspective.

    According to Gartner (2022), organisations typically utilise only 42% of the breadth of their martech stack capabilities. In a market where there were 376 new martech product announcements in 2022 alone, it is easy to get lost in “all things shiny”. To bridge the gap between marketing strategy and execution, we first clarify why martech stack should be high on your agenda, and then walk you through three alternative approaches that can elevate your business.
