7 Tips to Staying Afloat in a Struggling Economy
The finest online resource “for people who make websites,” A List Apart, published an article this morning on things we as web professionals can do to stay afloat during a struggling economy. While this isn’t a repeat of the “dot com bust” (the foundation of our industry is much stronger now, than it was 10 years ago), we should be smart about moving forward.
The worsening economy will adversely affect our industry, at least in the short term. However, our skills and products are suited to ride out hard economic times. Marketers can easily measure return on investment for electronic media. Likewise a web address—such as an online shop—provides a wider audience and lower overhead than a street address, and could therefore be a better investment.
Whether you’re a freelancer, small business owner or a salaried employee, the seven tips described in the article apply to you.

Fortunately I already seem to be following the seven tips!
I have to say that since the recession was “announced” here in the UK I’ve never had so many enquiries and I’m turning work away (or rather referring to other web designer friends).
It seems, at least here in the UK, that many bsuinesses are starting to recognise that their web site is a cost effective marketing tool.
