It’s hard to imagine a business that does not require web development services in this day and age. Every company needs to be represented on the web, because that’s where people look for products and services. No matter what it is that you provide your clients with, physical or digital, your business will not succeed without a solid brand identity and online presence. The industry has grown and matured from its infancy in the 1990s and now we have numerous web development vendors offering services for businesses operating in various domains and providing website development using expansive technology stacks.

Top Web Development Companies in 2018

In the 1st quarter of 2015, we saw how different P/E levels were of top 5 NASDAQ companies by market capitalization now (average of ~21x) versus in 2000 (average of ~85x), the profitability and mean age of companies at conversion to public markets and felt pretty good about the scene. VC dollars have continued to pour in since then and as of today we have 144 total unicorns (46 created in Q2 &amp; Q3 2015) in the world. The continuous influx of capital from a myriad of sources into the private markets have resulted in ludicrous valuations in the startup ecosphere. Investment dollars in the first three quarters in 2015 ($57.9B) already surpassed that of 2014 ($56.5B) in the US and the decreasing number of deals (1035 in Q3 15 vs. 1184 in Q2 15) signified the increasing average deal size in the market; the average Series A and Series B investment size are at $10M and $20M, respectively, the largest it has ever been. The private markets have failed to convert these valuations onto actual dollars via the public markets or an M&amp;A exit, however. In the first three quarters in 2015, the total exit valuation of US VC backed tech companies surmounted to $26.3B only, in comparison to $76.3B in 2014.
