Westmoreland College
WestmorelandCollege.ie
Largely a brochure web site with some customisations.
This is the first real outing for Tina MVC (our in-house Wordpress plugin framework). Wordpress manages all content and templating, making ongoing maintenance a breeze.
Customisations are coded using Tina MVC:
- contact us form
- page widgets for showing sub pages of the current page
- page widgets for random testimonials
The result is a much accelerated development time. Not including the content (which will always be supplied by the client) development time was just a few days.
Asher Senyk
BornToRunAsh.com
born-to-run-ash.com
Ash is a runner, cyclist and general fitness freak who wins the Death Valley Marathon and runs extreme 70km marathons around Connemmara in his spare time.
His web site (built on Wordpress) is a simple enough visual affair – he wanted it up quickly and Wordpress themes allow you do do that and more. Because we were able to get the site up with a minimum of fuss (from a design point of view) we were able to concentrate on integrating the site with the various social networking bits and pieces that Ash uses.
The site is linked up to a Facebook account, a Twitter account and his Garmin training log.

Frank Ryans Bar
www.FrankRyans.com
A brochure site developed for Frank Ryans Bar, Queen Street and Smithfield.
This site was built on the WordPress blogging platform and showcases one of Dublin’s best bars. Check out the gallery – it is a real example of where a small investment in photography really pays – kudos to the excellent job done by Philip.
If your requirements are not complicated, then Wordpress makes an excellent platform for static websites. Not having to worry about basic CMS functionality, we were able to address style, content, pictures and SEO.
