5G is going to force change in your website design. Whether you are currently lacking responsive design or you have been eager to introduce hi-spec user experiences – the opportunity is here to improve.<\/p>\n\n
While many people will consider the introduction of 5G connectivity as a mobile advancement, many people might not have thought about the way in which it will impact the way in which websites need to be designed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
Ultimately, 5G means greater data transfer speeds (1Gbps+) and lower latency which opens up a whole world of possibilities for businesses and consumers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
However, your Website<\/a><\/strong> D<\/a><\/strong>e<\/a><\/strong>s<\/a><\/strong>i<\/a><\/strong>g<\/a><\/strong>n<\/strong><\/a> is very much dependent on speed and 5G is going to influence design in one way or another.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Initially, you will be pushed if not already to design for mobile first and stick to SEO principles<\/strong><\/a>. As a leading web design agency in Surrey, trust us, this subject is important for your web development.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n\n 5G or fifth-generation networking is going to replace 4G but there are major differences.<\/p>\n\n There is no doubt that 4G made a significant difference to the way in which people browsed and streamed on the move.<\/p>\n\n However, 4G with maximum speeds of 300Mpbs is now reaching its limit and technology has advanced to the point where 5G, with potential speeds of 1 Gbps+ (Gigabit), is going to change how we use our data.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n It will enable us to utilise the ‘Internet of Things’ and industries and cities will become more data-driven.<\/p>\n\n Ultimately, 5G will offer higher speeds<\/a>, less latency, and will enable more devices to be connected with greater efficiency and interference.<\/p>\n\n We now live in a world where network connectivity is key.<\/p>\n\n Users are now accessing from remote locations using their smart devices to carry out a wealth of tasks online. So before we get too excited with 5G, we need to set you some boundaries.<\/p>\n\n If you are a business owner with Google Analytics, you will notice mobile sessions by device at 60% and potentially higher if you are direct to consumer.\u00a0\u00a0Be advised that they will be the main search and control device of the future. 5G Mobiles will be more voice search ready<\/strong><\/a>, with phones now being more trigger ready, used more frequently and consumers expecting faster search speed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n 5G is going to increase mobile device use in general due to their ever-expanding processing power for controlling the home i.e. heating systems, home lighting, doorbells and entertainment such as music and gaming.\u00a0\u00a0Many Apps vs websites<\/a> are already there leading this.<\/p>\n\n In fact, it’s free to play mobile gaming that is driving the huge growth for game developers.<\/p>\n\n 5G may lead as a preference over home wifi as some neighborhoods still struggle for decent fibre broadband.<\/p>\n\n Making sure your website is therefore mobile ready is paramount.<\/p>\n\n Websites design must tick search engine optimisation boxes that Google requires.<\/p>\n\n Whilst 5G may permit more embedded video, JavaScript coding or other clever design transitioning effects, you must adhere to\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Responsive design and UX<\/strong> (user experience, i.e. friendly). This includes, and is not limited to, clear spacing around buttons and videos \/image\u2019s within the screen viewable limits.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Think of scalable fonts, and spacing for fingers and thumbs with no zooming in and out required.<\/p>\n\n As mobile search continues to increase and to score highly for SEO you still need content<\/strong> (copy\/words!), therefore loading your site with just more video and effects will not help your rankings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Designers and developers creating sites for 5G must strike a balance with aesthetics and content.<\/p>\n\n 5G is going reduce website rankings for those not mobile ready.\u00a0\u00a0Web design could see some of the most significant changes it has seen for some time.<\/p>\n\n With greater speeds comes more possibilities but it will mean that your web designer will have to change their approach.<\/p>\n\n 5G is not just going to change the landscape for image-heavy sites because there are many tools out there that designers use to optimise images for 4G usage.<\/p>\n\n While web designers will be able to incorporate more images, they\u2019ll also be able to consider video and many other new technologies that transform user experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Loading times and speed have governed web designers in some way because ultimately, the speed and connectivity of 4G has meant that they have had to consider keeping the design safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Being user-friendly and ensuring a good experience is key to ensuring users get what they want.\u00a0\u00a0Whilst still adhering to the search engine criteria<\/strong><\/a> is all part of ensuring websites remain within the boundaries of 4G connectivity, 5G pushes boundaries and creates new opportunities.<\/p>\n\n With this in mind, what will web designers be able to achieve with 5G powering the web and connectivity?<\/p>\n\n Designers will have the scope to implement high-resolution images but 4k video is likely to be one of the biggest changes we see. As 5G is geared up for faster speeds, it will mean designers will be able to implement 4k video content that creates an immersive experience for users.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Voice search has already become a part of our daily lives but 5G enhances scalability which means that web designers and SEO managers need to consider how web design can incorporate voice search.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Siri for example could see its use increase 10-fold as phones become faster.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Searching with voice will also become more natural due to the increase of Smart Watches, Amazon Alexa and Google Home devices.\u00a0 Combine this with any more people working from home, the temptation for a faster answer by \u2018asking\u2019 a search query will increase.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n To have your website in contention for the 1st query in voice, you will have to focus more on snappier answers to queries in your content.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Accordion website FAQ pages<\/a> will be a popular way to answer search queries with answers.<\/p>\n\n Similar to the way content experts target Google snippets, the answer must be complete in one sentence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Your copy will also need to focus on more long tail keywords and read more conversational in format.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Users will tend to use 10 words in their voice query, this will include the main keyword and long-tail variants. As stated before, the website design must have a responsive design and load fast.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Voice search tends to provide retailers or suppliers near the consumer on the map, so focus on your local SEO<\/strong><\/a> if you want 5G to benefit your business.<\/p>\n Mobiles will work off 5G, so your website must have responsive design to take advantage of the potential increase in ecommerce sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Users want simplicity and they\u2019re eager for 5G technology to take the hassle out of searching for things online.<\/p>\n\n Whether it\u2019s searching for specific products, discovering information in an FAQ section or asking a website to search for something specific, designers are going to need to discover how the systems work and that includes identifying key phrases so the system can be integrated seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n Augmented reality is another advancement that\u2019s been knocking on the door.<\/p>\n\n It\u2019s been held back by a lack of capacity on a wider scale. Up until now, 4G has made Augmented Reality a technology that has been unreachable but now 5G allows designers to roll this out.<\/p>\n\n Designers will be able to create new experiences for users, offering the ability to explore their physical shops, carry out property viewings and even see how they look wearing clothing before making a purchase.<\/p>\n\n The possibilities that 5G brings are almost endless when it comes to creating new experiences for users on the move<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n If you are involved in VR then embrace it, the better processing power with cloud-based computers will enhance VR’s portability in headsets for example. Up to now, they have had to be connected to PCs.<\/p>\n\n5G and 4G – What Is The Difference?
