WHERE BEAGLES DARE
WBD is a creative digital studio from the UK. We specialise in building sites and brands and helping them find and connect with their people.
Our strengths lie in seeing beyond a project to the world in which it will exist, and understanding what it’s like to grow a high-rotation business, with all of its many stresses.
WBD started in 2018, but our story really began back in 2008, when we founded and grew a multi-language, much-loved direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand before selling it to start something new in 2018 - this. We learnt a lot, lost plenty, won enough and came out with a deep understanding of what it takes to move the needle and make a business really work and a desire to help others on their journey.
If you’d like to learn about how we work, from one-off projects to ongoing relationships, visit our Process pages.

OUR TEAM
The WBD team is small, agile and de-centralised. We’re a collegiate core of three that expands depending on the nature and needs of the projects we’re working on.
Our size is our strength. Bigger isn’t better.

Pete brings over 15 years of high-level e-commerce experience to every WBD project. From founding a retail brand to successfully exiting it several years later, Pete’s e-commerce journey encompassed every aspect you can imagine, from the minutiae of meta info to multi-language site deployment. Throughout, he learned in the best way: by doing everything himself and making every mistake in the book. In demand as much for his writing and photography as his atypical perspective on business and e-commerce knowledge, Pete is an outlier who can create fresh, energising ideas and connect them with commercial goals.
