Your website is the public face of your business, and it’s your 24/7 salesperson, so it needs to be rock solid. While a well-built website may look simple to untrained people, building a website when you have little or no web developing skills can be a very painful experience.
Whether you’re looking to build a brand new website, or improve and maintain your existing site, having your own dedicated web developer means your business has full control over your online presence.
There are 3 kinds of web developer specializations:
- Front-end: Specializes in visuals and behavior that run in the user’s browser.
- Back-end: Works on the database and server-side aspects of the site.
- Full-stack: Deal with both front-end and back-end.
In the 2014 IBPAP report, there were close to 75,000 workers in the information technology segment of the BPO industry; this segment comprises web developers, software developers, game developers, mobile application developers, and other roles involved in software and website development.
This number has grown a great deal in the last 4 years and the demand for talented web developers outside the BPO industry has also increased.
