Every business is different, but the basics remain the same. Thus, marketing automation can help your business grow in wide-ranging ways.

An ever evolving web powerhouse

WordPress is a web powerhouse that has been a big part of the internet since 2005. From simple blogs to full-fledged websites, it powers more than 30% of all sites in the world. 

As far as trends are concerned, WordPress constantly evolves and updates the latest technologies to make your tasks easier and your website more powerful.

What to Expect in 2022

As an enterprise, you have to adapt to the latest trends to keep pace with the ever-growing competition.

In this brief overview, we look at some web development trends for WordPress that will reign throughout 2022.

1. Improved Accessibility

Though designing websites is crucial, the users who visit them also count. Many developers are aware of this simple fact and have introduced new features to accommodate everyone. WordPress is one such platform, having features like color contrast and font size to help users with visual impairments enjoy their site.

WordPress is the way to go come 2022, as it lets you build a website that is not only enthralling, but also user-friendly. As far as accessibility is concerned, WordPress has made it easier for developers to contribute towards this cause by introducing additional guidelines. Such benefits make it necessary for you to have a WordPress site.

2. Augmented Reality

Augmented reality is a blend of augmentation and virtual reality, where you can alter any space with digital objects. This advanced technology adds computer-generated images over real-world photos to improve the online experience. In the coming years, augmented reality will become a necessity for enterprises using portfolio websites.  

With WordPress, it will be a lot easier to design a website that is VR/AR-ready. You can make a 2D or 3D map for your viewers to explore the site from all angles. If you want to create a website that puts you ahead of the competition, use AR/VR techniques to create a virtual store where customers can see the product without touching it.

3. AI-Enhanced Websites

Artificial intelligence has become prominent in the past few years, and is now serving in different areas to boost productivity. WordPress is no exception. It already has the best support for AI, since it lets you create personalized content that sounds just like you.

If you have ever created custom taxonomies, you know how difficult it can be to maintain them over time. With AI, this task becomes swift, given that you can add custom metadata and other information to your posts with just a few clicks. The WordLift plugin, for example, helps you use AI to enhance your content. By analyzing semantics, WordLift provides facts, links, images, and visuals that can make your content more appealing.

4. Voice Search

Voice search is a trend that has been gaining momentum over the years. If you have a website, it makes sense to add voice search features, since people are more comfortable using this feature on their mobile. With WordPress, you can easily integrate voice search with Google Assistant or Alexa.

As far as SEO is concerned, numerous plugins will help you with voice SEO and ensure Google finds your website even if it's not available on the search engine results page.

5. Lazy Loading and Infinite Scrolling

Lazy loading and infinite scrolling provide a better user experience since they increase the loading speed of your website. They do this by only loading the content that needs to be loaded. WordPress also has a lazy-loading plugin that will help you reduce the initial load time of your website.

If you need only a few images on the home page, it will remove all unnecessary scripts and styles to improve the user browsing experience. Most social media sites have been using this technology. Come 2022, a lot of business websites will adopt this trend to leverage its benefits.

WordPress has evolved considerably over the past few years. It is currently making it simpler than ever to build responsive and multipurpose websites without the need for coding. If you want to stay ahead, the best course of action is to opt for WordPress as your CMS.
