Since the mid-1990s, web development has been one of the fastest growing industries in the world. In 1995 there were fewer than 1,000 web development companies in the United States, but by 2005 there were over 30,000 such companies in the U.S. alone.
The growth of this industry is being pushed by large businesses wishing to sell products and services to their customers and to automate business workflow.
In addition, cost of Web site development and hosting has dropped dramatically during this time. Instead of costing ten thousands of dollars, as was the case for early websites, Plante Graffix Web Development is now able to make web design accessible to both smaller companies and individuals.
As far as web development tools and platforms are concerned, there are many systems available to aid in development. The following are examples:
- LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
- Adobe Dreamweaver
- Netbeans
- WebDev
- Adobe Flex.
- HyperText Markup Language ver. 5 (HTML5)
- e-commerce.
- WordPress
- Joomla!
- Drupal
- XOOPS
- content management systems (CMS)
