Since the mid-1990's, Web development has been one of the fastest growing industries in the [[United States]]. In 1995 there were fewer than 1,000 Web development companies and in 2005 there are over 30,000 such companies.{{factTalkfact}} The Web development [[industry]] is expected to grow over 20% by 2010. The growth of this industry is being pushed by large businesses wishing to sell products and services to their customers and to [[automate]] business [[workflow]], as well as the growth of many small web design and development companies.

In addition, cost of Web site development and hosting has dropped dramatically during this time. Instead of costing tens of thousands of dollars, as was the case for early websites, one can now develop a simple web site for less than a thousand dollars, depending on the complexity and amount of content. {{factTalkfact}} Smaller Web site development companies are now able to make web design accessible to both smaller companies and individuals further fueling the growth of the web development industry.
