It is the better solution that if you buy code signing certificate individually for web developers as code signing certificate works different on each web platforms such as

Code Signing Certificates for Microsoft® Authenticode®
Code Signing Certificates for Sun Java®
Code Signing Certificates for Apple Mac
Code Signing Certificates for Microsoft® Office and VBA

VeriSign recommends that developers purchase additional code signing certificates rather than sharing certificates for better security and management. If a certificate becomes compromised and must be revoked then all applications signed by the single certificate will be disabled. For ease of use, VeriSign recommends buying a Code Signing Certificate for each developer platform. You could use a Code Signing Certificate for one platform to sign code for others. However, different platforms require the certificates in different formats. To use a certificate across platforms requires a conversion process using additional utilities.
