Who are some great web developers?
The competition is heated
Living in the twenty-first century can be exhausting when it comes to finding a service provider for your needs; be it small or large scale building contractors, logistics for the home or business, digital design gurus or in our case friendly web developers.
In 1988, when the Internet first reached our golden sandy shores in sunny South Africa, it operated primarily within the realm of academic institutions. As it evolved and the World Wide Web was invented, only a handful of individuals understood its power and how it could slingshot businesses into a league of their own. Fast forward to present day and terms like Search Engine Optimisation, Content Management System and Landing Page are commonplace. These terms have grown in popularity as our world has become more digitally inclined.
Timing, perseverance, and ten years of trying will eventually make you look like an overnight success.

Businesses, small and large, have begun to adopt the Internet, use the Web and search engines like Google to increase business turnover or profits by pulling people to visit and engage with their websites.
There are a plethora of tools available to aid in bringing prospective clients to your website. Of course anyone can sit down and build a website but you’ll have to decide if it’s worth your time as the business owner to sit and figure out how everything works, or if you should hire a professional company to do it for you.
