Is this an era when web development companies can no longer make a living?

When recruiting sales agents for Live Commerce
, we have the opportunity to talk to various web development companies. Recently, we often hear that web development companies that only create websites are unable to get decent projects.

The background to creating websites has changed a lot since the early 2000s. So, I would like to reconsider what is necessary to make a living as a web production company in the future.
This is because our company originally started as a web (homepage) production company in 2003, and has continued to grow to the present day by changing our business model to provide an ASP called Live Commerce.


Why web development companies can no longer survive
Citizenization of freelancers:
instead of ordering from a website production company bahamas whatsapp data companies can order directly from individuals who can produce content. Nowadays, we are in an era where you can order directly from freelancers provided by sites like CrowdWorks and Lancers. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages compared to website production companies, but in terms of price, it is overwhelmingly low cost. With the expansion of options for ordering, it can be said that the number of projects that website production companies can take on has decreased significantly.

Evolution of website production technologyWe
are now in an age where websites can be created interactively by installing a website management system such as WordPress. To put it bluntly, we are now in an age where even those with little to no website production skills can easily create a website, with only the ability to edit Word. Today, with the availability of free services such as Google and JIMDO, it is possible to create a minimum level website without having to ask a website production company. It is true that this evolution in the industry has eliminated the need to ask a website production company.


Low barrier to entry:
The web production market is definitely a red ocean. With Adobe software and a PC, you can start a business on your own, and you don't need much capital or a fixed location, especially for web production.
In other words, there are a lot of entrants, and price competition naturally occurs.

Expansion of banner materials and templates
A company like ours always needs image materials to create a website, but we are now in an age where banner materials created by professional web designers can be purchased at low cost.
For example, even if you create a site with WordPress, you can launch a website in a short period of time by purchasing a high-quality web design template like Themeforest and replacing only the materials, without having to design it from scratch. Until now, materials were created and then requested, but now materials can be changed online, so except for highly original sites, if you want a responsive site with only decent materials, you can launch it online alone. However, this assumes that you are in a position to create web sites like ours.
