First impressions last and the design of your website makes an important statement – intentional or otherwise – about your organisation.
Good Design
Good design is not just aesthetically pleasing, it visually communicates with the viewer and generates a desired response – be it trust, professionalism, inspiration or all of the above. The difference between good and bad design is often the difference between success and failure.
Website Design
At wdb, we don’t just create beautiful websites – we carefully research every design we create; benchmarking best practice in your industry and across the internet as a whole. Through discussions with you, we build a detailed understanding of the aims of your site are, who the target demographic are and what message the website is trying to convey.
Website Redesign
The pace of change in website design styles is breathtaking and many websites can start looking tired and dated in months rather than years. Redesigning a website can have huge business benefits and, in these troubled times, standing out from the competition is vital. wdb can redesign your website and add new functionality – all whilst your current website remains available to your users.

Content Management Systems (CMS) enable you or any number of individuals in your organisation to update your website quickly and painlessly. No technical knowledge is required, and creating and editing website pages is as easy as writing a Word document.
At wdb, we use two CMS – widely regarded as the best in the industry:
Wordpress
From its origins as a simple blogging platform, Wordpress has blossomed into a fully-fledged, fully-featured CMS. Wordpress is the perfect solution for small companies or individuals.
Drupal
For more advanced and complex website, Drupal is unrivalled. Used by many professional websites (including Amnesty International, Disney and Universal Music), Drupal can be used to create social networking sites, ecommerce sites and much, much more.
Open Source
Both Wordpress and Drupal are Open Source – meaning they are created and maintained by a community of dedicated developers. Wordpress and Drupal enjoy large, active support community of thousands of technical experts who regularly offer help, contribute updates and make improvements. What’s more, you will receive this support and updates absolutely free!
We can add functionality to new or existing websites – from a simple contact form to fully-fledged social networking capabilities.
Social Networking
The proliferation of social networking websites has increased users expectations of usability and interactivity. We can implement social networking functions on your site and integrate with others services, such as Facebook & Twitter.
Added Features
Users will return to your website if you offer valuable services and features – we can add new elements to your site to achieve this added value. Additionally, for older website, we can rebuild the site with a Content Management System.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) refers to a number of techniques to promote your website and improve its position on search engine results pages (SERPs). Often, the difference between success and failure can be worth thousands of visitors.
Search engines are secretive about exactly how they decide which websites are promoted to the top of each SERP and which are not. This has resulted in SEO becoming as much an art as a science, but at wdb, we have proven experience of propelling websites up search engine ranks.
We use a number of proven, white hat techniques to propell your website up the search engine ranks, including:
- Targeted Search Terms
- Content Optimisation
- Code Optimisation
- Internal Architecture
- Key Word Density
- Link Building
