Two weeks ago I did an interview with Mike Preston, a journalist with SmartCompany.com.au.
The article, ‘Web 2.0 Innovator Leaps Facebook Frontier’ was published on their website this afternoon, and is a compliment to everyone involved with Wiliam – including our brilliant web design team of sixty-five plus professionals.
I hadn’t taken-part in a media interview for some time, and it gave me the opportunity to really reflect on our outstanding achievements from the past ten years (Wiliam actually turned 10 this month).
More so, it’s the achievements of the last three or four years that are really exciting and in many respects, quite ground-breaking. And the article features just some of these highlights.
The first is certainly surviving ten years, which is closely followed by surviving and thriving the dot com crash. It was a difficult time for many in the industry, including Wiliam – the majority of them in our space didn’t survive the burst.
Most recently, it’s the development of our first Facebook application that I’m really proud of. To my knowledge, Wiliam was the first website design and development agency in Australia to successfully build and launch a Facebook application, the Blog RSS Feed Reader.
As a direct result, Wiliam is receiving at least one enquiry per day from organisations looking to cash-in on the viral marketing potential of Facebook and other forms of social media. Some major Australian brands have enlisted us to develop these applications, one of those being Foxtel.
It’s certainly an exciting period for Wiliam, as we continue to grow and strengthen our position as a market leader in the web design and development arena.
