WOOHOO! Only 3 more sleeps until Christmas. Just to get you into the Christmas spirit a bit more, we thought we'd share some of our favourite Christmas jokes:
- Did you know that Santa's not allowed to go down chimneys this year? It was declared unsafe by the Elf and Safety Commission.
- What did one snowman say to the other snowman?"Can you smell carrots?"
- Why did Santa's helper see the therapist?Because he had low "elf" esteem!
- What's the difference between snowmen and snow-women?Snowballs
So to wrap up, we would like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and we really hope that 2012 is a GREAT year for you.
Nollaig Beannaithe agus Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh!

We are delighted to have received a third Eircom Spider Award at a gala event hosted by comedian Dara O’Briain at the Convention Center in Dublin last week.
After reading out the shortlist of nominees Dara O’Briain then announced “This site allows users to find the perfect musical match in their locality for their Wedding, Corporate function or Private Party. The judges liked the user interface and the context-specific, simple search functionality. Overall it’s clean, simple and easy to use.... Bandpages.ie is the clear winner”.
We thought it was a tough category to win and we were up against a couple of great websites so it made it all the sweeter to capture the prize.
Without wanting to blow our own trumpet (pardon the pun), congratulations to David Behan who designed the website and to Michael Flanagan who was the lead developer on the project.
We are also so pleased for our valued clients, Liam…
Have you heard the one about the online business that tried and tried and tried, for months and months and months, to get a mention in a national newspaper? And then when they finally did, it added hardly any extra visitors to their website? We have a few clients that experienced this recently and we thought it was quite interesting.
Have you or any of your clients experienced this unusual phenomenon? Please let us know. We might do a more in depth analysis at some future point.
In the meantime, in the absence of any reliable scientific (or otherwise) data, we will rely on our own intuition to spew out some easily challengeable observations and conclusions. Blog posts are great aren't they? Imagine being able to write such opinion-based stuff when you were in college. Thank god these days are behind us :-)
Observations
(Remember, we are focusing here on businesses that generate most or all of their income from online product/service sales.…
As part of their 30 year anniversary celebrations, Emerald Freight needed a brand new website... and we are very pleased that they chose Web Together to build it for them.
The site has lots of great content and runs to about 100 pages and we think that the content is quite easy to find due to the simple site navigation.
So, for anyone looking for some freight services, why not try an Irish-owned company and one that has a fantastic reputation in the industry. Emerald provide a range of services including shipping personal effects items right up to the largest scale shipments you can think of.
Best of luck to Owen, Ruaidhri and all the rest of the team in Emerald and best wishes for the next 30 years!
We've just completed a new website for our landlord here in EastPoint.
If you are looking for a new serviced office space on the northside of Dublin, you need look no further. The location is ideal for those who travel as there is easy access to the airport, the M1, and the M50.
The offices would particularly suit people who live in Clontarf, Raheny, Sutton, Howth, Artane, Drumcondra, Marino, & Fairview. You can save yourself the commuting time it takes to get into town.
All of the features that you would expect to see in serviced office accommodation are available at very low cost with office rent starting at €49.00 per week for a open plan desk space. We've been here ourselves for over 18 months and we couldn't recommend it highly enough.

We've just launched our first music site!
Bandpages is now live and you can find your ideal live music act using some advanced search functionality. You can search by province or by act type.
There are very detailed individual pages for each act that allow for MP3 samples, video content, playlists and general descriptions. The site is also full of great photography.
If you are a band or DJ you should sign up very quickly because it's free to list for the time being!
Best of luck to Liam and Graham as they start this exciting new business.
We've seen articles in the past with over 30 tips for writing content. Slight overkill we think. Here are the 7 that we push with our clients.
- Prioritise quality over quantity. Your content should be readable, relevant and reviewed regularly. Don't spend time writing content that no one will ever end up reading.
- Plan the layout of the content. The more content you have on your website, the more important it is to plan the layout. The hierarchy needs to be intuitive to a visitor and content needs to be easy to find. If they need to spend time figuring out your site, this will mean they will either leave or at best will spend less time reading what you want them to read.
- Stay focused on your online goals. Write content that supports these goals.
- Do not use the full width of the screen. Wider screen sizes are now being used in more browsers. Don't be tempted to use the space for…
