Welcome to Pride Web Design Cork!

Pride Web Design Cork are an award winning web design company based here in Cork, Ireland. We draw on the expertise of two experienced Website Designers and one Web Developer.

Two of us are based in Cork and one in Wicklow. We mostly work with Cork based SMEs and start-ups but we have also worked very well with companies all over Ireland.

We build all sort of websites depending on your needs, from brochure sites, to more complex and powerful Web 2.0 solutions and Content Management Systems (CMS), such as the award winning Drupal.

Our project Chef-Factor is a finalist in the All Ireland Marketing Awards in the eMarketing section - the award show is this Thursday!

Three websites that we work on have been nominated for Irish Web Awards 2010.

We won two Golden Spider Web Design Awards for the Cully&Sully Website.

This is a fantastic achievement considering we were up against some seriously high budget web sites from some of Ireland's biggest companies. It validates our approach to web design, that is, a good website doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg but also that you can merge good functionality with good design by using the best tools available to web designers.

We worked closely with Cully & Sully from start to finish, by getting to know what they wanted we could produce a site that allowed them to communicate their brand and personality to their site visitors.

Cully Talking about his website:

Do you Facebook? Is your company on Facebook? If not then you're not maximising your website's traffic or reaching your brand out to millions of potential customers. It's not enough anymore to just cozy up to Google, you need to harness the power of social media.

We found this great video on YouTube that might convince you!

You and your Website

As more and more Irish people get a broadband connection, there are more and more people using the Internet as their first port of call when looking for a business.

Because of this your website is increasingly the first impression a potential customer will get of you and your company. As with any other method of communication, or indeed shop window, it's vitally important that you create a good first impression.

If a customer is looking online for a company that provides your service and they find you and two of your competitors, chances are they'll ring or contact the company with the most professional looking website first. If you have the best website in cork for your industry and you'll be ahead of the competition before your potential customer even picks up the phone.

Whatever the overall use of the site will be, the very least you should have is a smart, modern, up to date website, that is intuitive in both layout and navigation. This will give a positive first impression of your company and will increase the chances of your site generating a lead for you, which is after all it's purpose.

You simply can't afford to cut corners

You simply can't afford to cut corners when it comes to your website. Some companies will offer to build your site for next to nothing, these companies often won't take the time to get to know you and your company and as a result the site will lack planning, be done in a rush and the end result is that you'll wind up with a site that is not as effective as it could, or should, be.
