A chance meeting with Jer at the Synergy Center TU Dublin, inspired immediate confidence and gave me valuable insight into setting up for selling online Selecting WDI as our web partner was easy and turned out to be a great decision. Within three weeks we were ready to launch our first website with all the features we requested. WDI were very supportive taking ownership of the whole process from start to finish. I highly recommend Jer and the WDI team to any start-up looking for a web development partner to get their online projects built and deployed successfully.
