Welcome to the Web Community of Emergency Services (WCES), where we blend our legacy of supporting first responders with cutting-edge digital solutions. Founded in 1996 by Montgomery Gearhart, WCES began as a humble message board for firefighters and first responders, aimed at fostering communication and community among those who serve on the front lines. Over the past two decades, we’ve evolved into a comprehensive web services firm, committed to delivering top-tier digital solutions across various sectors. Though the methods we use to communicate no longer center around an early 2000’s message board, our sense of community has only become deeper over the years. WCES is a community of people who show up daily, sacrifice for others, show empathy, and work to embody the spirit of the everyday heroes we honor.

Our journey started with Monty’s passion for assisting fire departments in transitioning from hand-drawn graphics to digital emblems and logos for fire trucks. Today, WCES stands stronger than ever, offering a wide range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our veteran-owned company has expanded its reach beyond the fire and EMS sectors, now proudly serving non-profits, product manufacturers, government agencies, and businesses across multiple industries.
