Avatar New York Discusses 5 Ways Millennials Will Change Web Design

New York, NY— Avatar New York is an award-winning web design company. With innovative websites customized for each business's clientele, Avatar New York helps companies attract new customers, increase revenue and enhance their online presence.

Avatar New York keeps business owners informed of the latest web design New York trends so they can stay competitive in the digital marketplace. Millennials spend more than $1 trillion a year, which makes them a powerful target for advertisers. With 1 in 5 millennials accessing the Internet strictly through mobile devices, advertisers must address the best ways to reach them online.

According to Todd Johnson, managing director of Avatar New York, "The millennial generation is responsible for a tectonic shift in tech usage. Marketing agencies and web designers must adapt to both the increased usage of mobile devices and the tastes of young people."

Here are five ways web will be changed by millennials:

1. Interactive technologies will become more efficient.

Although millennials have the knowledge and education needed to figure out clunky websites and mobile apps, they often lack the patience to do so. A bad user experience won't stop them from finding what they need. Instead, they will just look elsewhere. Web design will become more fluid and apps and websites easier to use.

2. The quality of a website will be monitored via social media.

Whether it's tweeting or posting, millennials turn to social media to champion or complain about products and services, and that includes websites. Web designers will keep a close eye on social media to pick up on kudos or criticism and use them to improve designs.

3. More websites will be geared towards helping users to find their own answers.

Millennials find solutions to their problems. They also like quick solutions, which means they probably won't want to wait for assistance. Designers who provide self-service solutions on apps and websites put the answers at a user's fingertips, appealing to millennials in the process.

4. Websites will become ever more sleek and engaing.

Websites with high quality visual elements gain millennial's attention. In addition to reading online, Millennials are eager to watch videos and share captivating images. Such elements will become more common across the web to attract and retain this demographic.
