How the coronavirus pandemic affects your business, and how are you coping?

Bernat Guitart: At the beginning of the pandemic, we noticed the traffic on our website lowered a bit, but after just one month, clients from around the world came back stronger than ever and the project posting number increased easily. COVID-19 has been actually good for the app, and web developers as lots of clients have decided to outsource their IT projects to foreign countries as it is cheaper for them and since they can’t have face to face meetings, they prefer to save some money.
