| About us:
Website Rescue is a division of Web Technik, one of South Yorkshire’s longest established website design and maintenance companies.
Since we started building websites in 1995 we have seen an astonishing number of other people in the area starting businesses trying to do the same. We estimate there to have been at least one new “competitor” a month in and around Sheffield. Luckily for us, they disappear at almost the same rate.
That's unlucky for you if you were one of their clients.
The reason for so much competition in the web design industry is that there are scarcely any barriers to entry to the market. People think all you need is a computer and a bit of web-design software. That’s wrong. Among other things you need talent, experience and skill in both visual design and in the underlying technologies - not just the specialist code (HTML & CSS) used to build pages but also programming languages (like PHP and Javascript) to deliver interactive functions. You also need to know how to administer and configure the web and email servers to best advantage.
Hardest to acquire is experience, it can only come from years of working with the technologies, there is no alternative. The benefit is that when a problem crops up someone with experience will find the best resolution quickly and inexpensively.
