We currently have these catwalk shows images on our website but presenting more in terms of fashion news, therefore we cannot bring you every clothing collections, and the catwalk show images vary in colors, some images are small and by optimizing the image file, we are not able to capture the detail that the designers want to show off to viewers.

Industrial Analysis
As with the advances in modern technology, the internet is moving toward a high-speed ADSL Internet connection, more and more people are surfing the web, as it is becoming more affordable to end users as well, and to accommodate an increasing number of internet usage, currently more and more are switching from direct dial up to ADSL that is now making it possible to view high quality images with faster downloading time, therefore attracting more surfers to the web.
The business opportunities that Thai Catwalk.com can foresee is the website. In Thailand, it appears that there are no websites that present a clothing collection in the form of a fashion show, designing ideas, and a way to improve the Thai fashion industry, but what we are seeing is in the form of fashion news, and this does not present the collection in the way that it truly deserves. In addition, the coverage often is in the form of news, which images are too small, and its main goal is not in the best interest of improving or promoting the Thai fashion industry. As we can see there are many websites out there representing their country's fashion, therefore Thai Catwalk.com is the first website in Thailand that presents Thai fashion that it truly deserves.
Growth Rate
Thai Catwalk.com has a fast growing rate, this growth from our perspective might be viewed different from other websites because Thai Catwalk is an image website and we bring you various fashion shows, therefore our growth is measured by page views of these shows, which we measure by Transfer Rate, Bandwidth, or by looking at our Statistic for Thai Catwalk.com that show our page views, or measure by image loading of 2GB per day, and we are expecting this to reach 80GB per month, and we are considered one of the high-traffic websites in comparison to many out there by far.
When we created this website, Thai Catwalk.com first priority is to bring you high quality images of clothing collections that come with a large image file, which can be problematic because it is also costly, but nevertheless, our mission is still the same, we will bring you the best quality image of catwalk collections out there.
