As we move towards 2025 and beyond, there’s a lot happening in web development, or software development — whatever you like to call it. A lot of things are being developed, created, deployed, and used, blah blah blah. You hear about Full Stack, Cloud, Deployment, Docker, DevOps, Cloud Exits, and so on… But what’s going on with the Frontend?
Server Side Rendering
Almost every customer-facing website is now server-rendered. With the explosion of edge networking, the adoption of Next.js, React’s new React Server Components, and cheap or free server hosting, SSGs are becoming very common. While the benefits are significant, it’s important to note that the impact on servers is high because they are responsible for handling the rendering, which adds to their load.
No Code/Low Code
No-code/low-code platforms are revolutionizing software development by allowing users to build applications with minimal or no coding knowledge. These tools offer visual interfaces, drag-and-drop features, and pre-built components, enabling faster development and deployment. They empower non-developers to create custom solutions. They also aid developers in speeding up repetitive tasks, focusing more on complex, high-level programming. However, customization and scalability can sometimes be limited compared to traditional coding.
Dark Mode
Dark Mode is everywhere. Since everyone has been using the light mode for years, the arrival of dark mode was something different and beneficial for our eyes and it has gained popularity for its aesthetic appeal and comfort during prolonged usage. Many apps, websites, and operating systems now offer dark mode as a user preference, enhancing accessibility and personalization.
Interactive UI/UX
Interactive UI/UX focuses on creating user interfaces that are not only visually appealing but also highly engaging and responsive to user actions. Through features like animations, hover effects, and real-time feedback, interactive design enhances user experience by making interactions more intuitive and enjoyable. This approach encourages user engagement, improves usability, and can significantly boost overall satisfaction. However, it requires a balance to ensure interactivity doesn’t compromise performance or accessibility.
AI integration
AI integration in frontend development enhances user experiences by enabling features like personalized recommendations, voice interfaces, and intelligent chatbots. It allows for real-time data processing and adaptive interfaces that respond dynamically to user behavior. This integration helps create more intuitive and engaging applications, while also streamlining user interactions.
ShadCN
The new kid in town, ShadCN is a user interface component library built on top of Tailwind CSS, designed to simplify the process of creating modern, customizable UIs. It provides pre-built, highly customizable components that integrate seamlessly with Tailwind, allowing developers to build consistent and responsive designs quickly. ShadCN emphasizes flexibility and ease of use, making it ideal for developers looking to streamline their frontend workflow without sacrificing design quality.

Thanks for the article
According to my experience, no code and low code will not be used in any way. Even people who use this tool do not have the ability to deploy the final project.
Microsoft's former ASP.NET Web-Forms is deprecated.
Many years ago, there was a software called Web Page Maker that created web pages with drag and drop, but we don't hear anything about it.
