Happy Web Professionals’ Day!
That’s right, April 29 is designated as Web Professionals Day. In celebration, I caught up with Kool and the Gang from the 70’s (I think) to help you celebrate.
Make it a good one people!
Why Celebrate Web Professionals Day?
According to IDC, two-thirds of small to medium sized business have their Web Professional in-house, elevating the importance of a company’s Web professional.
“Web Professionals are diverse and provide a great skill set for any organization,” said Bill Cullifer, Executive Director, World Organization of Webmasters, a not-for-profit professional association serving Web professionals worldwide. “Considering the key role the Internet plays in businesses today, these professionals are proving their worth day in and day out.”
It’s a great time to be a Web Professional according to Scott Fegette, Product Manager at Adobe Systems, the company that supports Web Professionals by revolutionizing how the world engages with ideas and information – anytime, anywhere and through any medium.
WOW launched the WebProfessionalsDay.org website specifically to promote Web Professionals Day.
“We believe the Internet is the heart of the new economy,” said Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. “If you are in business these days, you really do need an online presence. Keeping your site up and running with fresh content is what it’s all about, so if you work with a Web professional, why not give them your appreciation?”
