This is OUR story.
Welcome to WDD Online! If you’re looking to create a website, you’ve come to the right place. Many firms that produce websites tend to do so as an afterthought – their offices handle entire marketing tasks from graphic and logo design to putting together press releases. WDD Online is different -- we pride ourselves on designing exclusively for the web. While our staff is talented enough to go above and beyond these expectations, you can be confident you’re getting a website that is innovative, sure to get noticed, and crafted entirely around your needs. When you partner with WDD Online, your dollar goes further.
We can cater to any type of business! From our experience, we specialize in small- to medium-sized companies within the entertainment/leisure industry, particularly those with seasonal operations. Our flexible content management system gives you instant access to add features such as calendars, news bulletins, attraction listings, and even multimedia and video kiosks. Plus, our team of programmers is able to build additional applications to handle your specific requirements. If you can envision it, we can make it happen.
History
WDD Online was originally founded as Website Design & Development in 1996 by Katie Bruno. As a research scientist with artistic flair, Katie developed the first website for the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering at the University of Akron. In time, her work at the university led to web design opportunities with the Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society and other local polymer companies.
In 1998, WDD Online formed a partnership with Francis, Plunkett & Hammond (FPH), a local advertising firm that also specialized in the local polymer industry market.
In 1999, WDD Online landed a coveted account, Cedar Point.
That year, Website Design & Development designed and developed new websites for:
- Cedar Point Amusement Park
- Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom
- Worlds of Fun
- Valleyfair
- The investor relations site for Cedar Fair
WDD Online has maintained a great relationship with this family of amusement parks and continues to work with them, creating exciting designs for their websites, new attractions and special events.
Working with amusement parks presented WDD Online with new challenges and experiences that strengthened the company and made it what it is today.
WDD Online is located and incorporated in downtown Wadsworth, Ohio where our design and development departments reside, while close, professional relationships with several independent contractors allow us to expand our list of services to include special tasks such as video editing, video game design, and 3-D modeling.
WDD Online works with medium to large-sized companies, spanning a wide variety of industries and providing cost-effective website strategies, robust designs, and efficient custom programming solutions. From the Falkland Island News to the local Library, the diversity of our clients and their needs has afforded us a breadth of experience on which they rely and appreciate.
Personal service is extremely important and a major component of our success.

Our
continuing mission is to have the best site in the industry,
and by "best," I mean the site that serves its users, our customers
and potential customers, the best. WDD Online has always been
a strong advocate for the people who actually use our site, always
challenging us to make things easier, better, newer, more interesting,
more fun, more informative for our users. If we are successful
in this effort, it will pay off in visits to Cedar Point.
