Torquay web expert passes on tips for Guardian careers forum
After a recent article in a leading business magazine, Kevin King, founder and director of the website design and marketing studio, Createanet, was selected as an expert and asked to pass on his knowledge of the website development industry in the forum.
Kevin said: "It shows that our reputation for producing quality websites is widespread and that a Devon-based company can gain a national reputation.
"The website development business is constantly changing and evolving, with new features coming on stream almost daily.
"It's a hugely exciting time for the industry and knowledge is the key. I'm happy to share what I've learnt with others."
Kevin, who started his working life as a chef, before switching to building websites, added: "I've been in the business for 10 years and have loved it.
"It's a fascinating industry to be part of, with the introduction of new technology and faster download speeds making it possible for so many more features to be added to sites.
"The Guardian is one Britain's leading sources for jobs and careers advice and I'm pleased I can pass on my experience to youngsters who are starting out in the trade and those thinking of switching careers."
And he said the introduction of new techniques and technology is rapidly changing the way people view websites with more and more business owners wanting websites which set them apart from their competitors.
As such, there are vacancies in the web development industry for those who have the right abilities and qualities even in the current economic climate.
He said Createanet, whose clients consist of a number of national and international blue chip companies, such as Lionsgate Films and Icon Movies as well as many local businesses including Christine's School of Motoring, Beverley Park and events sites such as What's On Southwest, is currently looking for an enthusiastic and talented web developer.
