Dimasoft seeing double in bouyant online market

ONE of the region’s website and design consultancies has seen demand for its services double over the past 12 months thanks to an online market which is worth £56b a year in the UK.

With the growth of the Internet becoming an effective tool for communications and information management over the last 10 years, business is now at the forefront of the revolution.

North Shields based Dimasoft have been witnessing an exponential growth in demand for its e-commerce websites.

Jonjo Mcneill, lead graphic designer at Dimasoft , said: “It’s an exciting time to be involved in the business, The technology races on and I think we are still yet to fully realise the potential of the Internet.

“This is especially true for businesses. 10 years ago having a good brochure website was the norm. Now, e-commerce is coming more and more to the fore, especially as online security has been greatly improved. People are much more relaxed about buying over the Internet.”

During August 2010 alone, UK shoppers spent around £4.4 billion over the Internet.

This approximates to £72 per person. Furthermore, Econsultancy reports in its Internet Statistics Compendium that online sales in the UK during 2010 are predicted to reach £56bn.

It is a trend that Mr. Mcneill can only see continuing into 2011 and beyond.

He added, said: “We’ve noticed a doubling of clients over the past year with new orders coming in almost every week. E-commerce is a young industry.

“The trends however are clear. Investment in a good e-commerce website enables you to sell worldwide.”
