Dear all, Between the raw content and the network - both heavily studied - a website needs to be "created", by something like a web agency (which can be a single individual, an internal department, a geek friend... whoever). Anyway, I discover recently that - at least in the French speaking documents - there are really few (that is... none that I know about) information about the web agencies : what they are, how many and where they are, what they do, how they evolve... My point is not to have a commercial point of view but more a sociological, geographical or economical one, on this type of stakeholders of the net development. Concretely, I'm in West Africa. It's (almost) easy to know how many web users are around, how many telecenters and where they are, what is the bandwith, the number of domain names by country etc. but there is nothing written about web agencies (or webmasters). So does any of you know studies about web agencies (wherever in the world, I'm more interested in the methodology) ?
