Web design firms are competing strongly for web design and web development work in nearly every capital city and major population center around the world.
The web design industry has not felt the impact of an economic slowdown according to CEO Dale Carter because "Their is a a 2-3 month average build time for professional business-generating web sites and business recognised the high return on investment that developing a website represents".
According to Mr Carter CEO for 13 years of top Australian Web Design company GTP iCommerce, SEO or search engine optimisation is now the major growth sector. Purely search engine optimisation companies would not have survived a few years ago but we have seen massive growth in SEO startup companies locally in Australia.The evidence suggests that this phenomenon is happening globally" Mr Carter said.
The web design market is highly diverse with significant choice amongst providers.There are a significant number of established design firms and an even larger group of new graphic design companies taking on small business web projects. "We have noticed some solid competition for clients when pitching for new design work" said Mr Carter.
In Australia 1 in 20 individuals is self employed according to statistics and their are more than 1.3 million business enterprises which will drive the web design industry as marketing requirements expand. Australia population is small compared to that of other nations.
According to Mr Carter, "The web design industry should continue to thrive and grow during this economic period as businesses return to the view that they need to enage in marketing to keep and attract clients".Mr Carter poses three simple questions for businesses to ask themselves in the web design firm selection process.
1. Do you like their design work
2. Do their web sites generate sales leads and sales for their clients. Have they got proof?
3. Do they have a good track record in getting multiple page one listings on Google and other search engines.
