There has always been a bit of mystery surrounding the website design industry with regard to what web designers actually do. This is especially true for small businesses that were looking to put their business online for the very first time. The reason why? Web design used to cost thousands of dollars and countless months in order for a small business to get their small business from the drawing board onto the internet for their customers to see. What most entrepreneurs and small businesses didn’t realize back then is there wasn’t a whole lot of other options available to them other than paying large sums of money to a web developer/web designer in order to have an Internet presence.
Website Design Platforms
As the years went buy, there were new platforms introduced in which a web designer could build your website on. The website platform is t
he nuts and bolts that support the design framework that sits on top. Originally it was just html (hypertext markup language) but more advanced technologies started to come into play like the addition of PHP, MySQL and better versions of CSS, all of which had an impact in the website design industry. With better web design technology came better ways to manipulate that technology with tools like Adobe Dreamweaver, WebDev and Microsoft Expression Studio. Client side coding like Ajax, flash jquery and javascript also had a significant impact in allowing a web designer to create web applications for not only the internet, but across a wide variety of new devices.
In 2003, what Sacramento Web Design Group believes this to be one of the most significant developments of the 21st century in web design, web development and content management when the first version of WordPress was released in May of 2003 by Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little. Little did we know back then that it was going to become the Sacramento Web Design Group platform of choice , as well as for millions of designers, users and entrepreneurs worldwide. It started as a simple blogging system for basement bloggers to get their voice, ideas and message out the world, but soon became so much more. Its and open-source platform that allows designers, developers and coders to provide their themes, applications and original code to in order to enhance the platform for their or their clients specific needs. Since WordPress is an open source platform, unlike Microsoft technologies, its popularity as well as its continued development continues to soar to this day.
Economics Play Part in Web Design Prices
With an economic downfall here in the United States taking place in since early 2008 (now going on over 5 years) many businesses could not afford thousands of dollars in order to put their business online in front of their potential clients and customers. Its during these 5 years that WordPress’ popul
arity and installation has reached epic proportions. Not only was this a good thing for business owners, but their clients and customers soon had a better way to interact with small business owners simply because WordPress had a better functionality, structure and social media design than any other platform available. What’s even more significant about the platform was Google and the other search engines welcomed WordPress and actually gave it a higher priority over traditional html websites. To this day, Google continues to prefer WordPress for its structure, (pages, posts, categories and tags) its customer interaction, (social media and blog comments) and its dynamic properties (changing content, plugins that add functionality, sliders etc.)
