Right, by front end I was referring to HTML5, CSS3, Modern JS Apps etc, not the pixel pushing kind of work.


The demand for that type of work is coming from 4 main industries:

1) Household internet giants; i.e Google, Amazon etc

2) Betting/online gaming industry

3) Old Street startups

4) Content delivery; either on device side (set top boxes, consoles etc) or on market side(game, movie, app downloads)

Attending related meetups and handing over a few business cards might do wonders.


Also from financial sector I think.

disclaimer: I work for Caplin who develops HTML5 financial apps.


I had the impression that financial sector was taking a while to catch up with the times. Is the work interesting?


A lot of banks are switching to web based trading platforms.

The work is very interesting a you are building a huge single page app (not really comparable to most of the "standard" SPAs you encounter in terms of size and complexity) where everything is real-time.
