Tech trends
Most sites are focused on rebuilding rather than redesigning to improve speed, cross-browser compatibility, responsiveness across devices and screen sizes. Mobile users now outnumber iOS and Android app users, so responsive design is important. Responsive design means designing for different interfaces through techniques like responsive images to reduce file sizes for different devices. HTML5 provides new elements and features but only established ones should be used. Real-time analytics can help forecast the future by focusing on current user behavior rather than past data.

- 12. Mark Zuck. onthe longterm HTML5 advantage... “When I’m introspective about the last few years I think the biggest mistake that we made, as a company, is betting too much on HTML5 as opposed to native… because it just wasn’t there. And it’s not that HTML5 is bad. I’m actually, on long-term, really excited about it. One of the things that’s interesting is we actually have more people on a daily basis using mobile Web Facebook than we have using our iOS or Android apps combined. So mobile Web is a big thing for us.” M. Z.
