WD Web Survives the Dot Com Bust and Celebrates 10th Anniversary

TRAVERSE CITY, MI, JUNE 5, 2007: Few can imagine the business rollercoaster ride of the Internet during the past ten years, but WDWeb is very pleased to celebrate its 10th anniversary. WDWeb is an Internet hosting and software development company based in Traverse City, Michigan. Since 1997, we at WDWeb have helped thousands of businesses in many countries market their products and services to the world.

Our company started out as a catering firm looking for an effective way to market our specialized service. In 1989 we founded Michigan Wedding Guides, a wedding directory and guidebook that grew from a local publication to statewide distribution.

In 1996 we went national with WD Web Company by putting our guides on the Internet in the form of Wedding Details. That original site, www.weddingdetails.com, has since grown into one of the most comprehensive wedding planning resources on the Internet. Wedding Details was quickly followed by Party Details (www.partydetails.com), and HoneymoonDetails (www.honeymoondetails.com), online planning guides for their respective categories.

With this concept of creating specialized "mall style" homes for our clients and advertisers we have increased the exposure of sites to visitors and search engines.

To further our creative endeavors, as well as to add additional support to our growing number of professional photography clients, WDWeb created the MorePhotos system. Since its launch in January of 2000, MorePhotos has become a lead innovator in the online photo proofing and sales market. The concept behind the product is a turnkey web presence for professional photographers to easily upload and sell their photographs to anyone with an Internet connection, anywhere in the world.

LabImages was launched in 2002; it is also a turnkey web presence and software for photo labs to manage their photographer clients, upload high resolution images and fulfill the order process.

The company has designed and consulted on thousands of websites. Currently WDWeb hosts over 3000 sites in 14 countries. Its MorePhotos software is available in four languages.

All of WDWeb's design and programming are done in-house by highly-qualified professionals in the industry. Services offered by WDWeb include custom site design and graphics, domain name registration, email management, site maintenance, e-commerce/shopping carts, secure servers, hosting, database technology, and more.

Websites owned and operated by WDWeb include: wdweb.com, morephotos.com, labimages.com, professionalphotographysupply.com, weddingdetails.com, partydetails.com and honeymoondetails.com.
