Nashville may be known as a music and art center for its performance in the past years, and less as a tech hub. But things changed, and the city took it in an interesting direction, registering huge progress in the tech industry. 

According to the Cyberstates 2019 report, Nashville increased the number of jobs in the tech industry by 2,522 in 2018, which is a good performance for a “music city”. The entire workforce enrolled in the tech industry was estimated to be 65,500+ specialists, activating in various subfields of the tech industry, such as software engineering, web development, web design, and cybersecurity. Since 2010, more than 16,800 new tech jobs were offered to the local community, and all of them were successfully covered.

Out of the entire local economy, the Nashville tech sector registers a 4.2% contribution, or $7,5bn. Maybe that’s not much, but compared to 2016, the contribution of the tech industry was 0.8% and considering the fact that both the economy and the local tech capacities have grown, the latest numbers are impressive and make Nashville a promising destination for both IT companies and skilled workers. 

Speaking of skilled workers, their average annual salary was estimated at $72,5K back in 2018, which is 79% more than the average salary in other industries in the area. 

The most popular job opportunities in the tech sector in Nashville are Web Developer, Web Designer, Software Engineer, Project Manager, and Data Analyst which reveals a focus on the IT industry development, and as well proves great IT infrastructure and communication skills. 

For future clients and partners of Nashville IT companies, it is worth noting that the location has probably the highest potential in the entire Tennessee state, and the market is expanding rapidly. 

Web development is about creating, building, and maintaining websites or web applications using programming languages and web development frameworks. The main reason why web development services are popular is the need for businesses to establish their presence on the web. 

Building a website or a web application involves creating the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), including the layout, colors, fonts, and images. It also consists in optimizing these elements for mobile and desktop, making the interface accessible to users, and facilitate the interaction between the user and the application. On the back-end, it involves scripting, server configuration, and database management. At the same time, it includes testing, maintenance, and ensuring overall functionality.

According to recent studies, over 4.7 billion people worldwide have access to the Internet. So, it’s obvious that having a well-designed and developed website is essential for any business that wants to succeed online.

On top of that, the number of mobile internet users is constantly growing, with approximately 92% of internet users accessing the web through their smartphones which proves the importance of responsive and optimized websites on mobile devices.

In a nutshell, a web developer, which is providing development services is responsible for:

• Establish a company's online presence via a web application
• Improve and optimize the performance of the website or web app
• Update and maintain the well-functioning of the website or web apps

In addition, depending on the terms of a contract between a company and a web developer, the second can assist with: 

• Backup the data of the website
• Operate changes to the UI
• Migrate the website to another domain or platform

Usually, a web developer should have both soft and hard skills. The soft skills are related to communication and reporting, while the hard skills help in the development process.  

If you choose to work with a web development company, make sure to keep in mind the following criteria in the selection process:

• The company should have experience in developing websites or web applications that are similar to yours.
