Why one Web Developer seat matters
Each FindaBiz group keeps one seat per trade, so only one Web Developer sits in it. When another member hears a client say their site is slow, broken or out of date, there is one name to pass on, and no other developer in the room is competing for that referral.
The Coventry group already has a Web Developer. The seat is open in Hinckley, Kirby Muxloe, Lichfield, Lutterworth, Nuneaton, Southam and Leamington Spa, and Sutton Coldfield. Those groups are listed further down, along with the developers already in the network.

Each group holds just one web developer, so these are the businesses who own that seat in their group.

Trades that pass work to a web developer
Most web development work starts with a conversation that has nothing to do with code. A business coach helping an owner plan for growth soon gets to the question of whether the website can take bookings or payments. An accountant or book keeper often knows which clients are launching something new, or paying for software that doesn’t connect to their site.
The marketing members are perhaps the closest fit. Digital marketers, SEO consultants, social media managers and copywriters often work with clients whose websites can’t support the campaign. Pages load slowly, forms fail, or nobody can update the content. These members need a developer they trust, because a poor build reflects badly on their own work. Web Designer members who concentrate on how a site looks often want someone else to handle the build. Recruitment consultants, estate agents and event management firms tend to need job boards, property listings or ticketing that a basic template can’t manage.
How a FindaBiz group helps a web developer
People choosing a web developer usually want to know who they will be dealing with, whether the site will be looked after once it is live, and whether the developer can explain things without jargon. That’s hard to judge from a portfolio. It’s much easier when someone the client already trusts has met the developer.
That is what the one to one meetings between FindaBiz sessions are for. Members get to know each other’s businesses properly, so when a fellow member recommends you, they can say what you build, how you work and which clients you suit best.
If you are looking for a trusted web developer yourself, the members listed above are a sensible place to start.
Visiting a group with the seat open
The easiest way in is to come along as a guest. Your first visit is free, so you can see how a group runs and meet the members before deciding anything. Pick whichever open group is closest to where you work, whether that’s Lutterworth, Kirby Muxloe or Southam and Leamington Spa. FindaBiz also runs free online networking every Friday, which anyone with a free account can join.
