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.…
Web Together is one of the leading suppliers of website software to independent estate agents in Ireland. We offer a ‘Property Manager’ website solution that allows estate agents manage their entire property portfolio.
One of our regular clients, Raymond Potterton, recently asked for a modernisation of their website look and feel. We were able to design some new CSS stylesheets and create some new custom jQuery elements to make the site more interactive.
The underlying software still manages all of the website data, it just looks a whole lot nicer!
Here’s a business sector that we haven’t been in before. And we’ve learned so much about hearing problems and hearing aids during the course of the project.
Acoustic manufacture wholesale hearing aid products using components made by Siemens and they supply these hearing aids to a number of retail outlets throughout Ireland.
One of our favourite websites is Made In Hollywood. The owner is Fran Hollywood and basically they can make anything out of Styrofoam (Polystyrene). We've just launched a new portfolio update for Fran. There are simply loads more photos of their latest work.
If you are builder or architect, you will be interested in the architecture portfolio. If you are in marketing or PR, you will find some very interesting product samples in the Marketing portfolio.
