So, the users just have to provide a few inputs regarding the designs they want, and the programs create the design for them on their own. Since these platforms are ridiculously cheap and easily accessible to startups and small business owners, they are gaining a lot of attention already, and it’s unlikely that the popularity will diminish in 2019.
