What impact does COVID-19 have on web development companies?

Coronavirus or COVID-19 outbreak came as a curse on Earth by not only killing over a million but the prolonged lockdowns and home quarantine is dropping the global economy unlike before. During this grave scenario, from banking to IT and from e-commerce to tourism, all major industries are going to face massive losses causing the anticipated rise of unemployment and economic inflation which are literally going to give a tough crunch. Like every other sector, the slow poisoning of Coronavirus is also felt in the web development industry. Even though the employees are working from home like us at Metricoidtech, they’re more focused to provide advanced web development, as well as, app development for supporting the frontline fighters and people freaking out during the cataclysm for collecting food and medicines.




Home Quarantine & the Challenge accepted by Web Development Employees

This home quarantine for the global web development employees is not at all a time to rejoice the home stay rather it’s the toughest challenge they’re facing as many of them are not sure whether in the next few months they’ll still have the job or not.




The COVID-19 outbreak is threatening for web & app development company and other places where these SMEs and Startups are a great source of employment in the international aspect. According to economists, the outsourcing will also shrink as the major European countries along with the US herself are witnessing the rising death toll and their economies are crashing like anything.




Here, let’s take a tour on the impact of COVID 19 on web development companies—




More focus for mobile users

Still in the middle of the severe threats, a dedicated web development or in any other place will aspire to stand by the people and do their best to help people with the advanced technology. Right now, the web development industry is focusing more on mobile users. Their services are going beyond the philosophy of making responsive websites. Rather they’re now in the mode of enabling more user-experience with better content, images, features like quick calls and chatbots for helping people to stay connected with the top-service providers.




Focus more on advanced web development

People in the lockdown countries are suffering the worst as they’re restrained from coming out of their homes even to buy medicines and groceries. The governments of these countries are requesting people to depend on ecommerce to avail groceries or medicines that they want. This is the high-time when the best ecommerce development company - Metricoid Tech stands by the ecommerce clients allowing them to increase the efficiency of their websites, as well as, boosting up the mobile apps they have considering the rising demands.




Faster speed

Any efficient web and app development company will focus on improving the apps by eliminating every error and boosting up the speed by reducing complex images from the interface. This is the time of an emergency when industries like the telemedical and grocery ecommerce are depending more on IT technology.




They want their websites to be effective and apps working round the clock for which the developers are thus working hard to mitigate all the possibilities of crashing of servers. This is the high-time when they prefer using faster servers capable of handling the rush without detaining and disappointing users ransacking the websites for their immediate needs.




COVID-19-Direct Consequences on SMEs-

Cash flow crises for SMEs

The restricted cash flow to SMEs will disrupt productivity as the companies will fail to pay their employees and run their business operations. Though work from home will reduce infrastructure cost, many web development companies might not make it possible to pay employees as many companies that were their clients might have declared a closure.




The impact of Coronavirus on the world economy is grave so as on the IT and web development industry still, mankind is hopeful that in the next few years, the situation might get well and will be the same as before.
