About Pride Design

We specialise in quality interactive and content-driven websites. We generally develop our websites using one of the popular open source Content Management Systems WordPress / Drupal but we have recently moved to the game changing Web Design tool Webflow.

In 2007 we won two Golden Spider Awards including the coveted Grand Prix Award for the Cully & Sully website. This site is built using the Drupal CMS. It has a forum, blogs, a cookbook where users can save their favourite recipes and a product browser built into the homepage as well as a lot of other features.

In 2010 our project Chef-Factor, an online competition that we devised and built-in conjunction with Cully & Sully, was nominated in the All Ireland Marketing Awards in the e-Marketing section - showing that we can compete with the biggest agencies in the country.

Chef-Factor returned in 2011 when it won our third national award in the ‘Best Micro-Site' category of the Irish Web Design Awards. We had 9 other websites nominated for awards at the 2011 Irish Web Awards, 5 of which made the final short-lists, including Pride Design which made the final short-list for national ‘Web Agency of the Year' 2011.

In 2012 our website for Cork Opera House won the Best Arts Website at the Irish Web Awards.

Our website TheCorkNews.ie was announced as the winner of the category ‘Best Online Publication' at the Irish Web Awards 2014, beating national publications like The Irish Times, The Irish Examiner and The Irish Independent.
