Web Development
21Sep 2017
It is a common fact that starting a business of any kind can be difficult. What most people fail to realize is that growing and expanding on that business is even twice as hard. Considering how saturated the market is, it is important that you learn how to expand your web development company effectively.
The goal of every business is to make a profit, and your web and app development companies are not any different. However, to do that, you’re going to need to grow your clientele, and that means expanding your business to a bigger market.
Here are a couple of tips to help you expand your client base and grow your web development company.
1. Learn How to Sell Your Product:
The first to learn is how to sell what you’re offering to clients looking for those particular services. You have lots of experience in UI, UX, CSS, and HTML, but if you’re unable to persuade any client from patronizing you, your business is more than likely to remain static for quite some time.
There are lots of ways to sell things, every single day we’re being sold something on the TV, on our social media pages, and even on the streets. Each seller has his/her own way to sell things, and you must always remember that what worked for the last person may not always work for you.
One effective way of selling your product is to keep putting out contents whenever you can. The more people see what you can do, the more customers you’re likely to attract.
2. Find a Unique Way to Break Into the Market:
Web designing is a competitive and constantly evolving market. It is no longer enough to just build a website on CMS platforms like WordPress or Joomla. These days, web developers have to be creative at all times and be adept in several types of programming languages if they wish to stay successful in the web design business.
This means having a unique approach that you can use to break into the more competitive world that is web designing.
3. Keep Expanding Your Knowledge:
In the world of web designing and development, it is no longer enough to just know how to code or copy ready-made plugins to paste on a framework. Before you can effectively grow your company to successful heights, you’ll need to know the basics involved in web design and development.
You’ll need to immerse yourself in all there is to know about design and development before you can truly call yourself a master of the craft. Sure you may be able to get by at the start with some preliminary knowledge of design and programming, but that alone will not be enough if you truly want to achieve success.
Also, having some knowledge of the different programming languages such as HTML, JavaScript, CSS, DotNet and PHP and above average knowledge of designing using Photoshop or other designing software will take you a long way in boosting your business. The more knowledge you have, the more it’ll show in your work.
4. Specialize in Something:
Some clients will want nothing more than a basic developer, all they know is that they want a website. Then there are those clients who know exactly what they want and will be keeping an eye out for specialized developers.
One of the tips mentioned talked about putting out as many contents as possible. This is your portfolio. It should contain different projects you’ve done using different programming languages. If you’re able to master multiple languages like DotNet, JavaScript, and others, then you’ll able to satisfy the needs of both client types, and stand tall among the competition.
5. Your Portfolio Should Contain Personal Projects:
Apart from containing the different types of project you’ve worked on, your portfolio should also contain a personal project that you’ve worked on for yourself. It is an excellent way of capturing the attention of potential clients. So don’t forget to include the source code to at least one of your project is in public so you can get access to similar projects.
6. Develop a Blog:
One of the reasons why web designing is such a competitive business is because clients have released that they are unlimited when it comes to the option of hiring web developers. Thanks to the thousands of freelancers out there, they can get web developers for half the price of a professional.
With all of this competition around, you’ll need to stand out from the rest of the crowd. An easy way of doing this is to create a blog. Personal blogs help you stand out in a significant way. You can have 3 to 5 posts a week about web development strategies, or give out weekly tutorials; the choice is entirely yours.
7. Shorter Loading Time:
One of the ways your business is going to expand is through client referrals. Sadly, no client will refer you to someone else if you make mobile apps and websites with long loading time. It can be really annoying to both your client and the end user. Therefore, you need to develop websites and mobile apps with excellent loading time. Gaining mastery over this is one way of standing out from the competition and gaining success as a web developer.
8. Development and Design are Different:
As a developer, one of the things you need to keep in mind is that web design and web development and entirely different things. They are both concerned with different areas. Of course, accurately each of them will significantly help your business growth. However, if you cannot design the website yourself, don’t hesitate to hire a professional. This way you have more time working on the development part of the project. Instead of taking on jobs you’re not good at, focus your time and energy on what you actual excel in.
9. Don’t Lose Track of Your Goal:
Web development and design involve making something beautiful for a specific purpose. Most developers easily lose track of the goal; fulfilling the purpose needed by the client. They end up with beautiful projects that don't work the way it is required. A lot of design trends look attractive, and in a bid to keep up, you can lose track of the goal while implementing these design trends. Fitting in with the latest design trend is good but don’t forget the initial goal you set out to achieve.
Technology changes constantly and while it is beautiful, it can be frustrating especially if you’re struggling to keep up with the continuous change. To keep your web and app development company growing and afloat, you’ll want to stay ahead of most of the trends. The tips highlighted in this article are some of the simple ways that you can grow and expand your company.
