Project Approach Graphic Design Our designers are proficient in the full suite of Adobe products. The design team have worked with numerous clients with strict brand guidelines such as William Hill, Calvin Klien (Golf) and ComReg. We understand the importance of following your brand guidelines. Here are some links to our more recent projects: 

An Oige – Irish Youth Hostel Association



The Home Barn



The Shirt Rail

Website Development The content management system that we would suggest using for the website build is WordPress using the WooCommerce plugin for the catalogue element of the website. One of the fundamental reasons why we suggest using WooCommerce for your website is that there is no ongoing monthly costs to be paid for the plugin and you can quickly switch to having the website perform as an ecommerce website. Below are some examples of ecommerce and catalogue style websites we have developed. The first two examples have product filtering functionality. 

The Shirt Rail



Acorn Picture Framing Supplies



Town & Country Hampers



HiFive Clothing

Our award winning team has been designing and developing websites with bespoke functionality and applications for as long as we have been in business. Our team have a deep understanding of coding and developing responsive and dedicated mobile sites. Our sites have successful passed accessibility audits with the NCBI and WCAG 2.0.

Product Upload This part of the project is to be completed by you. We will provide MS Flooring with the training required to complete the product upload. Given the example website for http://www.naturalwoodfloor.co.uk/ this website is using the isotope js plugin for the filtering http://isotope.metafizzy.co/. Each product has different data attribute which are then sortable by the value in these data attributes. This will require consistent naming of categories and attributes to ensure that products returned by the filters are correct. The product upload should be done first before working on the filters.

Quality Assurance Once the development has completed we review and test the website and make sure that it renders / responds correctly on common devices, browsers and screens. We also perform speed and accessibility checks to make sure visitors have an excellent experience. Directors: Seán Kirwan, Derek Kirwan

Deployment At this stage of the process we test the hosting environment where the website is to be held. Once satisfied with this we then make the necessary amendments to name servers and make the website live.

Support & Maintenance Packs Our Model We take a hybrid approach to how support is managed and completed for client’s ongoing requirements. Clients purchase support packs / blocks of time that are then held on account. The time is then held on your account until you are ready to use it. Based on feedback from our existing clients this works well on a number of different levels. From an accounting perspective this enables you to manage internal budgets in tranches and we are able to organise our internal resources to fit your requirements. Our Support Packs give you the flexibility to access resources across all areas drawing down on the time whenever it suits you. We hold an 18 month expiry date on support time outside of the minimum agreed monthly time in order to give you every opportunity to ensure nothing goes to waste.
