Design your way

Tuesday, January 14, 2014

The web design industry has evolved. Not so long ago, handwritten code was the backbone of the mass majority website building projects. Thus, designers had to put a lot of energy into the manual labor of writing code, and could use features for syntax-highlighting or auto-completion that would help but save a little time. Nowadays, an army of website builders has taken rise and that are promising to make coding history. Webydo conducted a thorough market analysis and is ready to share their findings for your consideration, in this infographic.


Webydo: The Line between Amateurs and Professionals


In case you haven’t heard about Webydo, let me share with you some information about the company. In the past few months, a plethora of reviews have been published, spotlighting Webydo as one of the leading and professional website creators presently available for designers, and why over 35K designers globally are choosing to create and publish their clients with this B2B platform.


Webydo sets them selves apart from other website creators by simply catering to a different niche, the professionals who are looking to manage multiple client websites using features they are already family with. While, at the same time, not having to resort to using DIY creators or bringing on a developer to the project to publish their site. Webydo was engineered specifically for designers (and yields advanced design features that are strikingly similar to Photoshop). With it, creative professionals can therefore attain creative freedom, save time, and substantiate their income.



According to the research, site making as a whole is currently driven by two very unequal forces. On the one hand, Squarespace, Weebly, Jimdo, and other tools target amateurs who make up for 3% of all websites. This low percentage owes itself to the fact that 98 out of 100 beginners are at a loss once they finalize the site and have to publish it on a domain. On the other hand, developers and designers appear to create 16 million websites a month, together (74% of new sites).


Webydo: a Bold New Approach


Even the most mind-blowing website once started off as an abstract concept in a designer’s thoughts. She/he has the means to develop the concept into a concrete model, by using InDedesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop to express. Then, a developer takes the static design, and breaks it. His job is to generate HTML code manually, according to that design’s compatibility with popular CMS (DruPal, WordPress). The infographic reveals an outrageous discrepancy: developers get 70% of the budget for their work, whereas designers are only graced with 30%.


Webydo believes that designers deserve more credit for their work, and now they can create a website single-handedly. As a matter of fact, no less than 35K users have already claimed their independence through this platform, so it’s only a matter of time until Webydo becomes a prominent figure in the web design industry. Besides, research found that 45% of businesses still lack online exposure, so creative professionals ought to have their hands full.
