12 Days of Christmas in Web Design and Development

Here at Wiliam we’re blessed with great clients and really interesting projects. It’s made 2009 challenging and exciting year for all of us and we’re grateful for the opportunities that we’ve had to test the limits of what’s possible in web design and development. Thanks to our partners and clients for making it such a successful year.

As we begin the countdown to Christmas we thought we’d take the opportunity to express our sympathy for those in the web industry who might not be so lucky, with this tongue-in-cheek look at the 12 Days of Christmas in Web Design and Development:
