Since the commercialization of the Web, Web development has been a growing industry. The growth of this industry is being driven especially by businesses that want to sell products and services online to customers.
For tools and platforms, people can use many open source systems to help develop their web.
A common example like LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) is available for free online download.
Another contributing factor to the growth of the Web industry has been the ease of use of WYSIWYG web-based software development, as well as Adobe Dreamweaver, WebDev, and Microsoft Expression Studio.
Using such software, almost anyone can learn relatively quickly to develop a simple website.
Web development has also influenced marketing.
