We are a web design consultancy based in Colchester, Essex. We built our first websites in 2002 under the name of TradingUp. In 2008 we became a limited company and rebranded as Website Design Limited, or WDL. Throughout our time as web designers we have worked for companies, organisations and individuals throughout the UK and in Europe. We consider no job too small, and welcome all customers.

Our core work is web design, e-commerce and web application development, but over the years we have built on our skills and now offer a wide range of related services including internet marketing, and print design.

In a world that is full of uncertainty, we have become respected as a reliable company that keeps it's promises. The majority of our work comes from referrals and recommendations, which is testament to the excellent customer service we provide for our valued clients.

Our work is governed by 3 guiding principles: simplicity, user-centered design, and consistency. We work with our customers to provide effective business solutions that offer a real return on investment.

Ultimately, the best advert for what we do is the work itself. Please take a browse through our showcase to find out what we're all about.

Web Design
At WDL we offer a comprehensive and professional web design service to customers of all sizes, including small businesses, corporate organisations, and individuals.
Whether you need a one page brochure site or a complex database driven web application, we would love to hear from you.

We firmly believe that your website is one of your most important marketing and sales tools. That's why we pay as much attention to the usability of your site as we do to how it looks.

During the design and build process we will, as a matter of course, ensure that your site:

• showcases your products and services
• has intuitive and consistent navigation
• encourages visitors to buy, or to contact you
• is uncluttered and easy on the eye

We understand the web, and you understand your business. Together we can make your website work harder for your business 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Content Management
Do you want editorial control over your website? A content management system (CMS) puts you in the driving seat with the ability to add and edit pages.

Many of the sites that we build use some sort of CMS. We use a variety of different systems and the choice we make is based on the requirements of the customer.

More often than not, the CMS that we used is free and open source meaning that you just pay for us to design and build the site and not for the software. Using a CMS often allows rapid deployment of additional functionality, as many have a large selection of plugins for things like forums, ecommerce, blogs and a whole lot more.

By the way, our website and blog are both built on open source software.

Brand Strategy
Building a brand is a way of providing your business with an identity that is consistent and that will communicate successfully with a target audience.
A corporate brand is a visual representation which needs to be effectively portrayed to an audience. With effective research in brand understanding, competitor analysis and audience observation, a brand can become a recognisable and informative tool.

We strive for a high level of consistency which needs to be kept from logo design to stationery and website implementation. This includes use of colour, typefaces and placement alongside a consistent message which is portrayed by the brand itself.

We believe in providing a service that offers businesses with a strong brand identity, an identity which portrays the core values at the heart of your corporation. Along with this portrayal of core values we believe a brand needs to be graphically appealing, culturally aware, abide to functional requirements and to carry a clear and concise message.

WDL specialise in start-up business brand development which includes working closely with a client in the early stages of building a new business in order to construct a strong and long lasting brand. We don’t believe in following design trends as they are not successful nor necessary for building a timeless corporate identity.
