Your website is your shop window and brochure. Most businesses include a website as part of their marketing mix. Córas IT will construct a good website which meets your needs and is effective on many levels.
A good website should be clear and easy to navigate. You customers should be able to find the information they are seeking easily. If they find it difficult to find their way round your website, they will leave and go elsewhere. Frequently they make this decision within 20 seconds!
Content Management
Today, many businesses like to update their web-sites regularly, providing their visitors with information about the latest products or projects. Or maybe they want to give advice about current developments in their sector. They want to do this without having to involve the web designer every time.
Content Management Systems (CMS) provide businesses with this ability. WordPress, originally developed for blogs, is probably the most popular, and is now widely used for producing commercial sites. It is not tied to one particular ‘look and feel’; there are thousands of themes available, and by applying a different theme the look of the site can be changed in seconds. What is more Córas IT can take your chosen theme and ‘tweak’ it so that it looks exactly the way you want it. This site itself was created in WordPress; and see more examples on our portfolio page
