Web application development and website design are serious and expensive business. You’ve got the talent. You’ve got the passion. You’ve got the tools. But where does the money to start a business come from? One word: Grants.

The popularity and rise of web application development has spawned many start-up businesses and entrepreneurs looking to get a piece of the lucrative application development pie. With prime-time players like the Apple App Store and Google’s Android Market eating up the majority of the pie in terms of web application dissemination, it is difficult for aspiring web application developers to get noticed or even be seen from a distance. Like the old saying goes, no money, no funny. How can these developers continue to develop their talents (no pun intended) if the money just doesn’t add up? The well will dry soon enough if demand is not supplemented with return on investment. Help is out there, you just need to find it.

But there are some things you need to keep in mind when you’re looking for help:

● Keep good documentation: So you’ve got an app. It works and you’re ...
... happy with it. When applying for a grant, you need to keep good documentation. From the processes and problems to the challenges and successes, put it on paper and hold onto it.
● Issues? What issues? A Website Design & Development project is tedious, hard work. You and your team (assuming you worked with one) are bound to run into some issues. Make sure you document these. From variable issues to design, they want to know how you discovered the issue and how you went about fixing it.
● Time: Sure, this could also fall under keeping good documentation, but when developing a web application, time is crucial. Grants are time sensitive too, there are deadlines for applying, so be sure you’re well prepared.

Web application development continues to grow and evolve. Grants make the little guys gain access into an industry where only elite company with big sacks of money can participate. There are even grants which help to improve the technical prowess of your team. Who wouldn’t want to learn how to build and design better? There’s a grant for that.

Staying in the Web sphere, let’s take a look at the pioneer of web application development: website design. It has long been a committed partner to the Internet. The two go together like Marge and Homer Simpson - a marriage of two things that would not work if one of them was missing. But just like how web development is exploding, so too is the queue for companies. Nothing is original anymore. Everything is borrowed from something - including website design and web application development design trends. But not to worry, there are grants for Custom design too. We can’t all play in the big sandbox right away, as website designers or web application developers, we all need a helping hand. Grants help, so if you need one, apply!
