Web design

If you want to get your business on-line, we will take care of everything from the initial free consultation, to the hosting of your site. Your input can be as much or as little as you choose. All we need from you are some details about your company, your customers and what you hope to achieve from your site.

The essential elements of a successful site are:

  • Content: It is important that your site contains information which is clear, appropriate and relevant to your visitors. Written material should be grammatically correct. Images and graphics should be original and optimised for downloading.
  • Style: Many customers will get their first impression of your business from your Web site. It is important that your site looks professional and up-to-date and fits the image you want to convey.
  • Navigation: Your site should be laid out clearly and logically and all information should be easily accessible so that visitors are able to move through the site with ease, always knowing where they are.

We will design all the elements needed for your site, or we can incorporate existing material and make it suitable for the Web.
We also design visual effects and animations for added drama using Flash, Javascript and DHTML, ensuring that each site is individually designed and unique.

We encourage people to view our sites and compare them to those of our competitors.
We try not to be beaten on price, and we definitely won't be beaten on quality!

Our services include:

  • Search engine optimisation: We employ many means to optimise your site for high search engine rankings.
  • Domain name registration: Your domain name is the Internet address of your site.
  • Virtual Reality: You can show off your unique location or view with an immersive 360-degree panoramic scene, or offer browsers a tour through your virtual premises. Samples of panoramas can be viewed on our Portfolio page.
  • E-Commerce: We will set up your online shop, with secure payments and real-time transactions.
  • Seirbhís Lánghaelach: is féidir linn do láthair a leagan amach i nGaeilge, más fearr leat.
  • Update management:
    The frequency of Web site updates will vary from client to client.
    Once a site is up and running, many customers need only occasional changes to keep their Web sites current and fresh.
    Other businesses, such as estate agents or entertainment listings, may need to update their sites on a daily or weekly basis to keep customers accurately informed.
    We can create efficient, effective websites which allow you to easily update text, images or entire pages using your own computer - without the need for complex web-editing software.
  • Hosting: Different businesses have different hosting requirements, you may prefer a local server or one based in the U.K. or U.S.A.. We will discuss with you which option would be best for you.




Graphic Design.

A clearly defined corporate identity is essential for any business which operates in a competitive environment.

We concentrate on working with you to give your clients a positive and memorable image of your company.

Your distinctive look can then be applied throughout your business; from letterheads and business cards to brochures and promotional literature.

Training

Digital technology has led to radical changes in the work methods of Irish photographers. In recent years, the quality of professional level digital cameras has improved steadily, and the prices have continued to fall, making digital photography an ever-more viable practice.
Photographers have been presented with a staggering choice of new equipment, along with new methods of shooting, manipulating, printing and publishing their work.
Keeping abreast with, and indeed mastering this technology can seem like a daunting, but increasingly unavoidable task.
We offer a photographer's perspective on photo editing, scanning, colour management, and printing, and we offer advice about the most suitable hardware and software for individual photographers and their situations, all in a relaxed, one-to-one setting.

Photography

We offer a full commercial photography service. Depending on their requirements, we supply our clients with print-ready image files at 300 dpi, or photographic prints.
Our service is reliable and efficient, making use of the advantages of digital technology:

Speed: Turnaround times for images are greatly reduced- images can be viewed within minutes of shooting.
Convenience: Digital files can be copied to CD, or emailed to clients to be viewed on their own PCs.
Quality: Digital files are ready to be worked on, resized, touched up, optimised for Web viewing, all without the loss of image quality caused by scanning of traditional prints or negatives.
Control: We control the whole process from shooting, to retouching, to printing.
