Web Development Company in Dubai ? There are a few
to choose from. Web development
companies are announcing record profits all over the globe. Many are posting exceptional results
considering this kind of expertise has only been around in the last decade
since the technology boom of the 90’s.
For example in 1995 there were fewer than 10,000 web
development companies in the United
States alone and in 2005 there are over
30,000 such companies. This industry is
expected to grow by 20% by 2010. With
the UAE being such a young market, this figure is bound to be much higher over
the next few years.
Web development is about anything
to do with developing a website for the Internet. This includes everything from e-commerce, web
design, web server configuration and search engine optimization.
For larger businesses and organizations, web development teams can
consist of hundreds of people. Smaller organizations may only require a single
permanent or contracting webmaster. Website
Development companies in Dubai range from the
one man band to medium to large companies like Onlime and Flip Media that
employ people in Dubai and outside of Dubai.
Websites are now tools of the individual as well as large companies and
government organisations. A good website
is not just about looking good and easy to use, it must also have something
that keeps people coming back and back, like interesting content or a popular
blog.
Today,
there is an ever growing list of specialized software packages, programming
languages, and protocols used in web development and they are becoming more
complex every day. It is no longer adequate to simply do the website
yourself or ask friend for help – unless your friend happens to own a web
development company that is. Image is everything.
Language
and cultural differences also need to be taken into account, especially for
companies in the Middle East wishing to
attract foreign investment or custom. You might also ask, are the audiences in
the Middle East ready for such technological
advances.
Advancements
in technology do not mean you have to change traditional values. As the Middle East
consumer realizes this, the urge to share common interests and products will
grow. And it is also worthy noting that
although most businesses will benefit from an online presence, in a small
number of cases it may not give a return on investment nor save time and money
at this stage of their business cycle.
So who are the leading web developers in Dubai?
One company that springs to mind comes from a casual conversation with
the CEO of Onlime and Lime Green
Entertainments . What Onlime has achieved
is amazing. Within its first two months
of operation the company was profitable – many companies don’t reach this point
until at least 2 years in. Onlime’s CSR platform, a not for profit original music and
art forum Dubai
lime, increased its activity by 500% and recovered its costs.
The catalyst for this is an integrated communications strategy across
its supply chain, by recruiting its service delivery partners (musicians) its
customers (venues) and its consumers (Music Lovers) using the internet all for
around 30,000 USD.
Onlime is definitely a company to add to the record growth list and is a
shining example of how these profits are not exclusive to the US or UK.
It’s an exciting time in the Middle East
if you missed the tech boom of the 90’s.
Now is the time to get on board and now is the time companies in this
space are to be made.
