The Power Of The Network

Under this programme, micro design agencies get free access to a range of tools needed for web development and design, which means that they are no longer shackled by licensing costs for the software that they need.

But that is only a start. The other benefits of the programme include the visibility, support and access to a network of professionals and potential customers are of prime importance, offering participants a wide range of opportunities for exposure in the marketplace. 

The programme offers access to a catalogue of partners, support professionals and potential customers. 

In fact, it is a condition of membership that each micro agency signing up is required to use the tools that are offered to create a website to showcase their talents, which is loaded up onto the programme’s site. Currently, there are around 2,000 companies to be found on the site.

The increased visibility and exposure that this scheme offers are possible because of the marketing and networking possibilities that are offered will also increase over time.  Launched in September 2009, WebsiteSpark Marketplace is one of the newest services offered under the programme. 

There has already been great enthusiasm seen for the programme overall, and opportunities for greater visibility will increase as membership of the programme continues to rise. 

In a similar fashion, the first telephone was of little use as there was no one to call. It only became a useful instrument when ownership of phones proliferated. 

This is similar to the way in which the value of the WebsiteSpark Marketplace will continue to expand as more and more companies join the programme.
