Web Development WDI team of developers/programmers are highly trained in the most advanced & dynamic technologies including flash merging technologies, PHP, ASP,.Net & JSP, HTML5, CSS3, JQuery and AJAX just to list a few. This team integrates and translate the confirmed design mock-up into a live website based on a content management system (CMS) A content management system is a web application that keeps track of every piece of content on your website, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. CMS is a powerful tool that allows you to update any contents on your website. Having a CMS website is cost-effective as you can update and publish web content directly without relying on a costly maintenance package from web design agency. Example of Wordpress CMS : 10

The website will then be fine-tuned for optimal viewing experience easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones) and platforms (Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari). 11
