A web developer is a person who develops web-based applications as a solution for common or personalised problems. To be a developer a person must learn programming and develop hands-on skills in programming. With the time when new technologies are introduced a developer must update their knowledge to survive in the industry as it grows very fast.

Generally in the web developing industry(like in freelancing) customer(the person who needs a website) hires a web developer to build their website within a given period of time. And sometimes best developers are charging very high cost in order their work is 100% sure and quality. But In this case, with the development of Artificial intelligence, web development has come to a different phase. What if we can develop less than in 5 minutes without hiring a developer and so many testing phases and prototypes? Is this possible? Yes. The best example is AIDA which is an AI bot in bookmark.com (https://www.bookmark.com/) which is capable of developing your website within 2 minutes that fits your needs.

Actually, this is really amazing. Because practically we know how much pressure is needed to build a website and sometimes developers get in trouble with fulfilling the customer’s needs. In bookmark.com they have provided even free pricing plans for basic use. So isn't that amazing..? Their pricing plans depend on the bandwidth, storage, type of hosting, SSL certification and many other features. I think their pricing plans are fairer because when the pricing increased their facilities are also being increased.

Not only that there are many websites that we can develop our website in seconds like getweps.com,myraah.io, app.firedrop.ai.Some of the websites are using chatbots to chat with us and find our requirements. This is also amazing and simply we have to chat and say to them what we need.

Even this AI web developing tools seems like perfect, there can be some disadvantages too like it sometimes may costlier than manual web development and also sometimes may not be able to design what we want exactly because it works according to to the algorithms which are predefined. Some of these tools are still in the experimental phase and still require a process of improvement.

Anyhow this has paved a way to a new era in web development and that will affect many sections in the world in both positively and negatively. We still do not know how it will be possible to maintain the right balance between human and artificial intelligence but we can try to take the advantages of it knowing the limits...
