CBDWeb

WordPress, Yii and AngularJS

18.9% of all websites use WordPress (as of Feb 7 2014)1. CBDWeb has built, maintains and provides hosting for fifteen2 of these, and that number is growing. We chose WordPress because it is easy for you to use, for the availability of plugins and because it is a cost-effective development environment. If your website needs a plugin that doesn’t exist, or an existing plugin needs enhancement, CBDWeb can build it for you.

Alpha Testing of mobile phone app

In case you aren’t a software developer, alpha testing is where we ask for help to find bugs and give us feedback on usability, before releasing software for beta testing, which is where you ask your customers (members) to find bugs and give feedback.
