I'm a designer with over five years of experience, and my husband is a senior software developer at a well-known company. We're considering launching our own business focused on creating websites, landing pages, and e-commerce sites. I'm currently doing some market research to determine if this venture is worth pursuing. Given our backgrounds, what are your thoughts on the current state of the market for web development? Should we go for it or stick to freelancing?
