Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence: WDM's Journey from Garage Startup to Global Leader

Web Design Magic (WDM) celebrates its 25th anniversary, marking a journey from a garage startup in 1999 to a leading international digital agency. In the early 2000s, WDM navigated the dot-com bubble burst and the global financial crisis by diversifying services and focusing on quality and sustainable growth. The 2010s saw expansion into corporate and government sectors, with a specialization in platforms like Kentico DXP, Sitecore CMS, and Drupal GovCMS, and a strong emphasis on cybersecurity measures like the Essential 8 and GDPR. The COVID-19 pandemic tested WDM's resilience, leading to an accelerated digital transformation.

The success of WDM is attributed to its dedicated team, many of whom have become industry leaders or moved to global agencies. The company has also committed to community engagement and environmental sustainability. Looking ahead, WDM is poised to lead in the dynamic digital landscape, embracing innovation and new challenges. The 25th anniversary is not just a celebration of past achievements but also a commitment to future growth and excellence, with a message of gratitude to clients, partners, and team members who have been integral to the journey.

Brand trust and content authenticity in the era of generative AI.

AI-generated content can exhibit creativity and novelty, but whether it is truly original is a subject of debate. Content-generating AI like ChatGPT can be effectively used in various ways. It can assist with brainstorming, provide initial drafts or editing suggestions, automate routine tasks, augment creativity, and generate content based on structured data.
