Web Developers are Missing the Boat by Limiting Their Services

As a developer, what services do you offer? Web development, presumably, but do you offer anything else that will make your clients realise the true value of your company?

Many web developers choose to specialise in just that, web development. They complete a project, sign it off and move onto the next client.

Not only does this limit your value, it also limits your client base because not all companies want a website designed from scratch. Many companies just need to update existing sites, or they need someone to fix a problem that suddenly occurs.

Is your website like a hardware shelf in a coffee shop?

Or do your visitors have to navigate around a lot of junk to get to what you want them to find?

The rise of publishing and blogging platforms means that anyone can make themselves a website in minutes. This is exciting and people with no web design course behind their name can create a very pleasing page if they have a basic understanding of the platform’s functions and a vision for the site.
