If your business is in Washington, DC and relies on your website to attract customers, you may have noticed a few more competitors in your space. Well you’re not alone. More companies are beginning to invest significant dollars in web design projects to better compete in the metro area.
Why the Sudden Rush of Web Design Projects?
The local economy is hot. There are new construction projects all around the city, home prices are increasing, and contrary to what you hear in the media, government is continuing to increase their budgets. In fact, Washington, DC has been ranked as one of the best places to find a job in 2010, 2011, and 2012. Forbes recently wrote about DC, “flush with government and government-supporting jobs--has the healthiest labor market among major U.S. metro areas. By one estimate, there's roughly one advertised job opening for every unemployed worker in the D.C. region, which includes parts of Maryland and Virginia. The nation's capital has an unemployment rate of just 6%, according to the latest data. That's the lowest among the country's largest 50 metros, and 3.8 percentage points below the national average.” more here.
