It has been years now when there was no highlighted need for Custom Web development Companies. Websites were built on a set format, and any website development company could do it. In and around 2000, Internet was a medium to have an Internet presence. This could be proved by the fact that many B2B portals even undertook an initiative to build company catalogs that were to be seen by prospective clients. That was a huge success, because it fulfilled the primary purpose of ?web presence?.

That was, however, way back...the scenario is completely different today...

As the Internet is changing rapidly, Web Development Companies are being replaced by Custom Web Development Companies, and they tweak their services to suit the client's requirements. Continuing with the idea mentioned above, in a flux IT scenario, the Internet algorithms change every minute, and Web Development Companies find it difficult to keep abreast with the latest industry developments. More and more advanced technologies are hammering their identity, and hence companies desire much more from their websites. Online businesses no longer want a 5-6 pages plain and static website. Today internet world is ruled by Web 2.0 philosophy that requires a website to have CMS, RSS feeds, Blogs, Content Distribution, Newsletter subscriptions, Follow us on Twitter buttons, Social Networking Sites, Google Map Integration, and much more.

Web 2.0 features are indeed required in a world where the pace of change is rapid and regular, the content on your website cannot remain static and design cannot be mere Photoshop originated.

So the companies that lack the experience and skill-set to meet new requirements are fading away and companies offering custom web development services are gaining remarkable strength.

These include, browser compatibility, e-commerce integration, search engine friendliness, online payment gateway integration, and clean, semantic and W3C validated coding.
