Several years ago most businesses were happy just to have a website that gave them some online presence – in fact many companies started out with the most basic of HTML websites, usually just one or two pages & maybe a contact form so clients could get in touch, but in recent times many businesses have found their business more reliant on their online entity as highstreet footfall has declined & online visitors has grown – this has spurred many businesses on to invest more of their marketing budget in their site in order to widen ther audience & also to help do more for their business.
a vast majority of businesses now rely so heavily on their websites that they have not only invested in mobile responsive site to please mobile users (and Google) but they have also started adding backend software to their sites to manage every day office tasks – Take for example estate agents, most agents rely on 3rd party software such as Rightmove or Zoopla to promote their properties as well as estate agent management software such as Portal Hub to actually feed their properties into these portals as well as managing clients, viewings etc, but now they are also investing in their own software for a wide variety of things including mailouts, staff management, viewing alerts and many other property related functions.
In times to come more & more businesses will be investing in software & the what was once a flourishing web design market will slow down as many of those businesses with responsive sites will simply need updates as opposed to new website design – this new demand for software will make way for developers having the ability to code the software side of things as well as websites and those with just the most basic of skills will find their market shrinking while the skilled developers will be in high demand.
Websites & web designers were essential the birth of the internet but software & software developers will be in equally high demand as time goes on.
