The launch of The Web Guild

lisa Lisa, 25th September 2015

5 years ago, Lisa Freeman, a Director here at 18a, came up with the idea of a Guild for web professionals.

The idea was to help businesses choose a web developer who would suit their project - a trustworthy, experienced, professional company who would give them a good service.

Meanwhile, the Guild should also help educate businesses / marketers on how the web works, so that they can get the best out of their projects and their working relationships with developers / designers.

Well - Lisa and Tom decided that 2015 would be the year that the Guild would become more than just an idea - and have spent the last few months working to make it so!

The Web Guild is a not-for-profit organisation, and 18a will of course be a Company Member! 18a are also currently providing the marketing and development work on a pro-bono basis.

If you'd like to get involved, please get in touch - membership is currently free if you use the promo code FIRST50.

You can read more about how it works here, and about the benefits of membership here.
