30% Rise in Front-End Web Developer Jobs

    LONDON, ENGLAND, April 24, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Demand for front-end web developers has seen unprecedented growth in the first 3 months of 2013. The number growing by 30% relative to the same period in 2012.

Trends appear consistent with the rise in web developer jobs sparked by businesses striving to capture the fast growing online markets.

At the start of this year, a number of high street giants called in the administrators, having lost out to online competitors. While in recent news, supermarket chain Morrisons announced that it will start selling groceries online by 2014 in an effort to catch up with its rivals.

Businesses that lack a strong online presence are losing out on the evolving marketplace. And after the latest round of high street casualties, more companies are investing in web developers to grow business online.

www.webdeveloperjobs.co.uk has also seen a steady increase in search engine traffic, reflecting the rising interest in web development careers.

However, while the total number of web developer jobs in the UK remains relatively consistent, demand for particular skills within web development are changing.

Programming languages Python, Perl and Java are on the rise. Demand for C# and .Net skills are falling. Senior positions are increasing and Junior roles are noticeably also up overall.

While UK unemployment rose to 2.56 million in February, the rising number of IT jobs and junior web developer jobs in particular may provide opportunities for unemployed 16 to 24-year-olds.

Meanwhile, various groups are actively campaigning to encourage computer programming tuition in schools to help reduce young unemployment and fulfill the continued rise in demand for web developers.
