About WDL
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.
