Coláiste Gaeilge Beo
www.colaistegaeilgebeo.com Being an Irish speaking only Summer school led us to registering an Irish URL in this case. My client has done a great job with social media to help boost his Search Engine listings, using both Face Book consistently (which can be a real chore) and also You Tube and Ficker, obviously I can help set up all the Social media for my customers but it is up to them to be rigorous with posts.
Kilronan Hostel
www.kilronanhostel.com I use Simfatic form creation software to make forms as the forms are hosted in on my customers server and you cannot truly call your website secure if you have web forms hosted by an external company like Jotform. Kilronan however use Gomio booking software as a solution for taking bookings and payment online.

Website

WELCOME / FÁILTE
Galway Site Design is based in Connemara More than 30 % of your visitors will be using a smart phone or other device with a small screen so I design websites that check this then load a version that suits the device. Is your existing website mobile friendly? Click here to find out. With over eight years experience designing websites, I can offer you good advice as well as good design skills. I will do my utmost to make your particular website a success. You probably have lots of questions needing answers the FAQ section of the site might help. Ranking highly with the search engines is very important, in fact essential if you are selling a product or your services on line. Using Face Book , Twitter and You Tube to keep your customers informed not only keeps them engaged it also helps with search engine optimization and your rankings. For further information about SEO please read some of my blog posts or give me (Rob) a call, on 0871615645. I advise my customers to use the best possible photographs for their website, I am not a professional photographer but have a good camera and know how to take a good shot so I do offer this service as an extra or we can use professionally taken royalty free images. Three most recent projects are www.connemaraoilpaintings.com www.arangoatcheese.com www.clprint.ie and www.kilronanhostel.com and my own website with pet portraits, chainsaw art and information on Clyde Puffers is at www.derrykyle.com
STORY
About Rob
I’m not what you might expect from a website design savy individual, I’m in my 50’s and you also wont employ me for my looks but then again I’m not selling
underwear, it will be my job to help you make the on line side of your business work for you.
I come from Scotland originally and haven’t lost my accent although I spent 20 years in Australia and am an Aussie citizen. The accent does not seem to be a
problem dealing with my customers and I remember a small amount of Gaelic from back home. If I need to have Irish translation in the site I outsource this
work to a person fluent in the regional Irish required.
I’m a married man ( for 29 years ) an ex Sea Captain by trade and I have been designing websites now for over eight years, in the time I have been designing
websites there have been huge changes and these are ongoing with the search engines constantly changing the way they rank websites.
I look forward to working with you.
FAQ
Below are a couple of websites I had “free reign” designing, from my clients I asked for the “feel” they required and also the type of customer
they were seeking to attract. To ascertain “feel” I asked them to take note of any websites they saw on line that they thought theirs might
replicate in some manner.
SOCIAL
An image heavy example
This is an example of a full page refreshing slideshow which
looks great but would be really difficult to get high up in results
on Google. A home page like this could work ok for a well
established on line business with lots of back links that has been
on line for a number of years but I advise against this sort of
design for new starts.
Glengowla Mines
The tour was wonderful - the history of the mines was
really interesting and our guide John was very friendly
and informative. We also had lots of fun panning for
gold and gems. I'd love to go back!
Website Design based in Galway Ireland
I have lots of other sites I can show you that I have designed if you would like to see more examples of what I can do.
