Forward Inc., a web development company based in Somerville, MA, opens its second international office in St. Petersburg, Russia.
(PRWEB) November 19, 2009 -- Forward Inc., a custom Web Development and Website Design firm in Somerville, MA, has been building useful sites and online tools for their clients for over three years now, and the company's founders, Otto Warner and Ian Shultz have just brought their business centric approach to web development to St. Petersburg, and open up to the Russian market.
"We are very excited to be doing business in St. Petersburg." says Otto Warner co-founder and the company's Sales and Marketing Director. "Despite popular belief, and the world wide economic downturn, the Russian economy is actually doing pretty well, and many members of the fairly new Russian middle class are hungry to start their own businesses, and that means they need websites as well."
Forward Inc. prides itself on awakening business managers and entrepreneurs to the many possibilities of conducting business online, and now has the opportunity to bring this knowledge to Russian clients, who need it.
"There are a lot of very technically savvy people in Russia, and eastern Europe in general," mentions Ian Shultz, Forward's other co-founder and Technical Director, "but conducting business in a free and global market is still a relatively new experience for many Russians, especially for smaller Russian businesses and younger, emerging Russian entrepreneurs, and that's where the opportunity lies for American companies like Forward. The rise of small business and the middle class in Russia is creating a great need for Russians in that demographic to learn Western business and sales techniques, which is exactly what we want to bring to Russia in terms of Web Development."
Forward plans on continuing to expand into foreign markets, and hopes their experience in developing websites for business, and coaching small and start up businesses in online marketing and online business management will give them an edge wherever they go.
