WordPress Trends for 2023

by | Dec 16, 2022 | Business | 0 comments

It is difficult to accurately predict specific trends in WordPress design for 2023, as the field is constantly evolving and new trends and technologies are emerging all the time. However, here are a few general predictions for WordPress that developers may want to consider as they build and update sites in the coming year:

  1. Continued focus on user experience: User experience (UX) is likely to remain a top priority for WordPress developers in 2023, as more and more businesses recognize the importance of providing a seamless and intuitive experience for their users. Developers should focus on creating responsive and mobile-friendly designs, as well as making sure that websites load quickly and are easy to navigate.
  2. Shifts in technology choices. Venerable JQuery is being sidelined by React and Vue. Freelancers are going to find some career longevity by shifting gears. CSS3 is now extensively adopted and that allows so much of what JavaScript used to do can be tasked into clever implementations of CSS. Likewise, there will be a continued push in WordPress to make Gutenberg the defacto theme in lieu of Divi, Elementor and other premium themes.
  3. Increased use of artificial intelligence and machine learning: As technology advances, we may see more developers incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into their WordPress designs. For example, AI-powered chatbots and personalized recommendation engines could become more common, helping businesses improve customer engagement and satisfaction.
  4. More emphasis on accessibility: Ensuring that websites are accessible to users with disabilities is likely to continue to be a key trend in WordPress design in 2023. Developers should consider making their websites compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to ensure that they are accessible to as many people as possible.
  5. Greater use of video and multimedia: Video and other forms of multimedia are likely to play an increasingly important role in WordPress design in 2023, as they can help to engage and inform users in a more interactive and visually appealing way. Developers should consider incorporating video, audio, and other multimedia elements into their designs to make them more engaging and interactive. As bandwidth capacity increases, it’s increasingly easy to deploy video to capture attention.
  6. Increased security measures: As cyber threats continue to evolve, it is important for developers to prioritize security when building and updating WordPress sites. This may involve implementing measures such as SSL encryption, two-factor authentication, and regular updates to plugins and themes to help protect against vulnerabilities.
