How Websites of the Future Will Be Built
⯀ Building websites has come a long way since the days of manual HTML sites. Many people are now using page builder plugins, as well as standalone website builders. The next step is AI.
Nearly half of all Americans self-identify as makers. Plus, the majority of Americans claim they want to start their own businesses.
Today most websites are still hand coded, or to the very least require a high degree of human supervision, but the internet is now also being built up on the foundations of highly organized templates and development frameworks.
Website plugins
Expensive graphic and web design companies are not completely necessary for individuals and small to medium size enterprises and organizations build an online presence.Website builders are now widely available that give motivated people the ability to easily design, create and build up content for a website of their own.
Some of the best website builders are so easy to use that you do not require any coding ability or the need for the assistance of a web developer. Moreover, with the plethora of website templates available nowadays for Wordpress, Wix and SiteBuilder.com, most users will be able to find a style, voice and design that suits their needs. You can check out more reviews of such website builders from Best10websitebuilders.com.
Enter artificial intelligence
We are now on the verge of another revolution, as artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to impact the graphic and web design fields.
Template selectors and easy-to-use drag-and-drop interfaces have already made much of the work of web design a simplified activity. Now, the promise of artificial intelligence-based tools is not only to make life even easier for users, but result in websites don’t feel like cookie-cutter template lookalikes.
One example, The Grid is a crowdfunded startup that claims to be a platform for "AI" website design. “Conceptually feels very next level, an obvious, natural progression just waiting to happen,” tweeted 7Signals/Basecamp founder Jason Fried when The Grid’s promotional video made the rounds of the web design community.
So far the reviews for The Grid have been less than enthusiastic, but these are still early days in the era of AI built websites.
Using a few basic questions, Wix ADI designs custom websites by learning about each user’s or businesses own needs. Then, sorting through a digital archive of billions possibilities the system matches design and content elements to create a unique, dynamic, and robust website in minutes.
With systems like this, software will evaluate a user’s content, line of business, and imagery, and spit out finished pages for evaluation. This type of automated tools is already coming to the web.
What’s more is that such software is affecting other areas as it changes the way websites are built. The long-time design software leader, Adobe, makers of tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and other pieces of the Creative Cloud, have also been adding AI tools to their offering. As such illustration and image manipulation tools are often part of the building blocks of websites, or the content they display, AI is now affecting the whole design workflow.
Adobe Sensei is an artificial intelligence and machine-learning framework operating behind the scenes in many of Adobe’s tools. “We are using AI to deliver the art of creativity and the science of data,” says Tatiana Mejia, Group Product Marketing Manager, of Adobe Sensei.
What is clear is that artificial intelligence is going to be a factor not only for website building, but for the entire design and development pipeline. No facet of the process will be untouched, and it only remains to be seen how much of what is touched will be by human or AI hand in the future.
