Broadband
access in Ireland - the sad facts
DIAL-UP FRIENDLY WEBSITES
According
to a recent survey, If your business customers are based in
Ireland, 92% will make use the internet and yet only 48%
will have access to Broadband* This means that your
website must cater for slow dialup access (or exclude the
remaining 52% of potential customers). To keep your customers
waiting around for long downloads is bad for business and
sends out the wrong message (have you ever visited a Local Authority website? - you'll know what I mean).
So what's the solution?
In a nutshell, thoughtful design. To
overcome the very real problem of slow web connections for Irish businesses, Bigger Picture designs bespoke, dialup-friendly
websites which load quickly whilst retaining very high image
quality - whatever your bandwidth. So don't exclude 52%
of your potential Irish customers - contact Bigger Picture
for no-frills, real-world web design with simply stunning image
quality. See sample sites listed below and judge for yourself. *source:

CASE STUDY
Top quality photography as part of the package
www.butlercourt.com - Kilkenny's highly-rated (by Trip Advisor members) city-centre B&B in a peaceful courtyard setting. Design, overall branding and all photography by Bigger Picture at Bigger Picture. Over 110,000 website page views since launching! Top rating by Google searches. Bucking the trend, the owners built extra accommodation in 2006 to cope with demand! See excellent live Trip Advisor guest reviews on the site which keep them consistently at the very top of the Kilkenny accommodation charts.

www.garrisonwaterside.com - Co Carlow's leading riverside holiday centre for self-catering houses & Guesthouse with use of day boat plus new restaurant & bar. Design and all photography by Bigger Picture.
Threads of Green Fabrics - suppliers of materials for dressmakers and costumiers worldwide - photography for 600 plus fabric samples and abstract shots for the online shop. Kilkenny-based established business with an international reputation. The challenge here was to realistically depict reflective and metallic fabrics online for the web designers - something few fabric suppliers have attempted. Broadband advised for this database-driven site.
The importance of good images
All of us have seen the dreary product snaps, taken by the local press man on his (rainy) day off. What does that say to your customers? "I can't be bothered to put any effort into it just for you to look at" As Advertising guru David Ogilvy once said: "The consumer is not an idiot - she is your wife".
Simple, isn't it?
We offer top quality photography,
combined with simple and effective web design to get your
message across. When you combine good images with straightforward
design, people spend longer on your site and therefore increase
your chances of sales. In Ireland, word gets around like in no other place. This can work to your advantage.
