The Hunting Association of Ireland is a national body which coordinates and promotes hunting with hounds. It comprises six constituent and autonomous bodies, which represent and control the six hunting disciplines active in Ireland. HAI works for everyone who loves the countryside and the rural way of life. Through campaigning, lobbying, publicity, and education the Association influences legislation and public policy that impacts on the countryside, rural people, and their activities.

Its been over a year since we designed and launched the HAIs new website, which gave them greater freedom in updating the content and allowed them to process memberships and donations online. With our continued support and assistance the awareness of the HAI ’s online presence has been a huge success. The website now receives between 1,200 and 2,000 NEW & UNIQUE visitors per month, and the number of hits per month ranged between 67,000 & 140,000 in first half of this year.

Youghal Glass is one of Munster’s leading suppliers of high performance timber window frames and doors. One of their key strengths is their continual research into new and improved products – products which suit the vagaries of our unique Irish weather.

Previously Youghal Glass had a minimal online presence, and were seeking those additional clients that only a focussed and targeted website can deliver. In addition to web design and html development services, we integrated a content management system to enable the non-technical staff of Youghal Glass to add product photos to their online gallery and post up to date news and events. We also took project photographs for and designed and produced their product catalogue.

The Traditional Boats of Ireland Project is the result of a combined effort by an all island group or people who are passionate about the rich diversity of boat types throughout the country. The project involved the design of a 668 page book and the design of an all-island resource website. The book examines Ireland’s legacy of traditional boats, exploring the different uses to which they were put and the different environments in which they flourished. Some 60 distinct boat types are fully illustrated with the aid of technical plans, drawings and photographs. The purpose of the website was to raise awareness of the rich diversity of our maritime traditions.
