We suddenly had customers from Australia, New Zealand, the US, Greece, Belgium, Cyprus, France and even Russia. Each site became for us a foray into new markets, new clients, new business cultures and an opportunity to create more than just a website, an opportunity to help create a tool that gave our client a true advantage in their home market.This meant that our business advisers took their home-grown, honed UK business development knowledge and reshaped it, morphed it, augmented it and tested in new markets. They did hours of research, poured over long tracts of data and spent half their lives living online and the result was that what we did meshed and worked. The websites we built became platforms helping our clients work better and make more money.
They brought us more clients and more clients found us and one thing led to another until we are where we are today: with a client list that includes more than nine countries and three continents, with websites that are assets to our clients’ business and in a position to offer a complete integrated approach in every job we take on.
We are still a UK web design company though we compete successfully in some of the world’s toughest markets. As you’d expect from a firm that has based its success on the web we are more than passingly familiar with the benefits (and the disadvantages) of outsourcing. We keep all our services in-house because it helps us control quality and ensures client confidentiality. It also gives us the ability to enhance each project with a cross-disciplinary experience so that web designers can suggest graphic design elements which work with certain types of websites in certain types of markets, the content writers can suggest just how a site’s content can help it rise in the search engine charts and affect online visitor behaviour and our business advisers often bring insights which help inform the design principles we apply in our programming and graphic design.

These days the closest we come to pizza is when it’s delivered in-house because we are working with clients across time zones. It’s not that we would say no to a pizza restaurant wanting a UK website but we tend to work with projects that excite us and business models that are challenging.

The Web Direct Studio company Blog is penned by a number of our in-house staff from our different ones of activity. They write anonymously in order to free their range of expression, particularly when it comes to criticiing their sector of activity or making observations about their job. They work under a simple edict: What you say must make sense and must fit in with the tone of our online business. Apart from that they are the ones who choose the topic they write about in each Blog post.
