Hong Kong web design, bottom of the pack.

Recently I'm thinking of opening my own web design company in HK after I graduate. I've been working for 3 years at the ICMA Centre, although only part time my manager there has driven me and guided me to world class web site development standards and for that I appreciate every person I've met and every second I've spent since I've began working there. I've bigger plans of my own, being so top notchly educated in the art of web site design and having grown with the web and seeing an ever growing importance of the web on the soceities in every country, I believe the next impact will occur in China and HK and I believe the time is right for me to go and do it now before somone else does.

Anyway, I was doing some market and competition research and I cannot believe how bad a state the web industry in general is in those area. Take a look at the news article here in the article it mentioned a few web development companies and one of them admitted that it is hard to find good designers in HK that can communicate well with clients. Now then.... the same company.... find it so hard that their website doesn't even work properly....

Take a look
This is what the problem is, if you can view it properly...
a) The layout does not work in widescreen
b) The flash ad does not have transparent background
c) The layout uses TABLES!!!!
d) The layout does not have any personality, seems like bog-standard out of the box photoshop effected buttons to me.

Hopefully the situation will improve soon.
