Web Design Business

Web design involves the use of text and graphics to create a web site that is viewable by a user through the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee is credited with creating the first web site in August 1991. There are various distinct disciplines within the web design industry such as: graphic design, animation, typography, search engine optimisation and marketing.

The web design business is a new industry and has grown in conjunction with the internet. Around the world there are now tens of thousands of companies offering web design services. Many of these companies have branches and offices in countries such as Russia, Romania and Peru to take advantage of the comparatively lower labour costs in these countries.

A high quality website can make the difference between success and failure in business. A website with good content and that is well presented will attract a large amount of traffic. Poor quality websites will not attract many visitors.

With an increasing amount of business conducted on the internet and more leisure time spent surfing the internet there is a strong demand for skilled Information Technology professionals capable of producing high quality websites. In coming years the demand for services offered by the web design industry will continue to rise.
