This is a project that we thought was worth highlighting. It's another example showing how larger photo images are becoming much more popular on websites.
This client specialises in high-end commercial fit-outs for buildings such as schools, hospitals and office blocks. ORJ can do key elements such as carpentry, plastering, suspended ceilings and partitioning.
The output of their work is highly visual and the photos (see 'Portfolio' page) allow the site user get a sense of the work that they do without having to read lots of text on screen.
This was one of the faster website projects we worked on with us finalising it over the Christmas period. We also provide about 80% of the text content as an additional service to the clients.
We've just launched our first ever Classified Ads website for Fetch.ie
The client wanted something that would offer great functionality but also look visually attractive. The site user should find it very easy to drill down within categories to find specific ads. This is something that is hard to find elsewhere.
It costs €3 to place an ad on Fetch.
Let us know what you think of the site. For the first 10 people who send in a comment, we have a free promotional code that allows you to place ads for free for a period of time.
We thought this site was worth a mention on our blog as we think this signage company has the biggest online product catalogue for the sector they operate in. And, they are hoping to double the number of images on the site in the coming weeks!
There are all types of signs available such as, information signs, safety signs, warning signs and many more. ETAG Signs also do a range of branded clothing.
They have a great reputation for their speedy turnaround of orders as well as the value for money they offer. We have bought a few bits and pieces ourselves and the quality is always excellent.
They are based in Ashbourne, Co Meath and they deliver throughout Ireland.
We were thrilled and honoured to be asked to speak at the September seminar for the Irish Women in Business last Tuesday night in the Osprey Hotel, Naas.
IWIB is a network that was set up by Tara Wilson-Black of Select Digital and it's aimed particularly at start up businesses that are managed by women. It holds regular networking events and seminar programmes for members. The atmosphere is always very relaxed and it makes for very interactive sessions as we found out first hand last night.
Our topic was 'Online Marketing' and we covered areas such as Search Engine Optimisation, Pay Per Click advertsing, email marketing and social media. We also gave some advice on what makes a good website.
About 30 people attended the event which was…
Of late, I've been doing a lot more designing and coding than I have in previous months and years. With this has come a lot of new skills and techniques but one thing that hasn't changed and has become increasingly frustrating is getting our sites to look and work the same in Internet Explorer 6.
If you're a web designer or developer reading this, you'll have undoubtedly come across this headache and many of us have discussed it at different events as well as online. I quite regularly tweet my frustration and have read many similar tweets.
Many clients are unaware of the work that goes into making sites look the same across all browsers. The newer browsers (such as Firefox, Safari, Chrome and even IE8) are more standard…
I know. 'Twitter' and 'Late Late Show' should not sit together in the same sentence. The former is a still-emerging micro-blogging technology that has captured the imagination of both IT types and the general population who want to join a wider 'conversation'. The latter has been considered a great example of the deep malaise affecting more traditional media.
Ironically, on Friday night, Twitter helped play witness to a remarkable turnaround in the fortunes (albeit one swallow doesn't make a summer) of the 47-year-old chat show dinosaur.
There was a considerable amount of tweeting all through Friday night but it still failed to officially 'trend'. Most likely down to the fact that the tweets were spread across three hashtags (#latelate #latelateshow #lltub).
The perfect trend?
This was a fine example…
What do you think of our new website? We've just launched and would welcome your feedback.
We have a new portfolio section and also a case study section where you can view more details about the type of work that we do.
Our blog is also new so check back regularly for updates or sign up to our RSS Feed.
Our latest creation went live yesterday. It's a professional services website for a Chartered Surveyor based in Navan and Dublin.
This was a great project to work on. We have a long standing relationship with Pat McGovern and his team and this is the second site that we have built for them.
Pat provided us with some of the best photographic imagery we've ever worked with and we think this has ensured that the end product looks very visually appealing. An extra investment on the client's part but I think you'll agree it's worth it.
