Top WordPress Trends - The Five Pillars to a Strong Online Presence

Whether you want to build a blogging site, business website, or a highly complex eCommerce website, WordPress is the go-to option to fulfill all your needs. It not only offers amazing features and advantages but also the flexibility to extend the functionality to make an extremely advanced website. The top WordPress trends that hold enormous potential in 2024, as seen through our critical lens, are listed below.

1. Drag-and-drop Page Builders

WordPress page builders make it easy to create professional-looking pages quickly. They come with customizable templates, user-friendly tools, pre-built designs, animation effects, and content resizing and repositioning features. Most page builders offer real-time editing with a simple drag-and-drop interface, so even users without technical skills can create beautiful websites and landing pages. WordPress also has pre-built modules and templates that offer flexibility and customizable themes. Its built-in functions are accessible directly from the interface. Some popular WordPress page builders include Beave Builder, Divi Builder, and WPBakery Page Builder.

2. Headless CMS

A content management system without a presentation layer is called a headless CMS. This system separates the backend, where content is managed, from the frontend, where content is presented. A headless CMS enables you to manage content from one central location and deploy it on any digital platform of your choice. This separation of the frontend and backend frees up your content, making it easier for marketers to manage content independently and for developers to quickly build, automate changes, and manage digital media at scale. With a headless CMS, you can reuse content and create modern digital experiences with ease.

3. Chatbot Integration

A chatbot is an AI-powered system that can perform the functions of a human agent through a chat interface. It uses artificial intelligence to replicate human conversation, provide information, solve problems, and complete tasks. Chatbot integration involves linking the chatbot to other platforms. Deploying the chatbot with numerous platforms and applications can be a lengthy process. To engage with visitors, you can connect the chatbot with various platforms like websites, apps, WhatsApp, Telegram, Magento, Viber, WordPress, Messenger, and others. Logic Simplified enables companies to use chatbots as a customer assistance tool that provides exceptional customer service, boosts customer satisfaction, generates more leads and sales, and interacts with customers.

4. Voice Search

The global voice recognition market size is expecting a healthy growth in the coming decade, from a humble ten billion U.S. dollars in 2020 and 2021 to nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars in 2029, a CAGR growth of 23.7 percent. (Statista)

Optimizing WordPress websites for voice search can enhance site ranking, increase traffic, and effectively engage a global audience. Moreover, it builds user trust, enhances search engine ranking, reaches out to a wider global audience, boosts mobile traffic, and improves brand visibility.

5. WordPress 6.1 with ReactJs

ReactJS is now available as the frontend technology with WordPress as the backend platform, thanks to WordPress 6.1. ReactJS is an open-source JavaScript library used to create user interfaces, and its elements can be rapidly used, saving time and effort. WordPress prefers ReactJS because it offers greater flexibility when creating a WordPress website. It employs a virtual Document Object Model (DOM), which speeds up the upgrade process significantly over refreshing the browser DOM, and provides more freedom when creating WordPress websites.
