The year was 1997; the world wide web was five years old, a 56k modem was considered fast, Netscape was the browser of choice, Grandma thought 'www' was a German automobile brand and Google hadn't even been invented.
Thirteen years is nothing in the grand scheme of time, but for a web services company it's an eon. e-CBD opened for business in 1997 and has continued to grow strongly ever since.
From humble beginnings as a publisher of online medical and legal directories, we're now one of Queensland's premier digital agencies, with offices in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, over 200 clients and more than 300 different websites in our care. As the digital partner of memery, Australia's biggest social media and PR agency, our team has worked on high-end design and marketing solutions for some of the biggest and most well-known companies in Australia, but our roots on the Gold Coast mean we're never too busy or self-important to help a small business make the most of its website, no matter how small.
Based on a philosophy of being remarkable, always aiming to exceed our client's expectations and never charging more than we have to, we have grown to become one of the busiest and most-respected digital agencies in Queensland. We love our clients, so it's no wonder the majority of our work comes from customer referrals.
Over the last 13 years we've watched the Internet grow from a medium for email and online brochures into the very foundation for modern communication; e-commerce is now a very real part of most credit card bills, Internet refrigerators really do exist, grandmas video-chat to their grandkids on the other side of the world, nine million Australians use Facebook and the possibilities for an organisation to interact with its stakeholders through the web are virtually limitless.
It's e-CBD's honour, and our absolute pleasure, to be here for you. If you'd like more information on how we can help you make the most of the Internet don't hesitate to contact us, or feel free to read more about our team — we'd love to help you make your web strategy remarkable.
