Irish Retailers Don’t Get The Web
Michele’s just come across the ultimate in cheapness. Rather than pay professionals to design their new website for them, Blanchardstown Shopping Centre are running a competition instead. They’ve got the Bank of Ireland to sponsor a prize of a whole €1,000 to be awarded to the winning designer of their new site! What’s even worse is the prize is in the form of vouchers for their own shops, so you can’t even spend it on what you want.
A professional wouldn’t even take your phone call if he heard your budget was only a grand, and nobody in the business is going to spend the time it’d take to do it properly on spec. I’ve been paid more for nixers!
Don’t these people realise that web design these days is a serious profession what takes a lot of talent, knowledge and experience to do well? A good website is not something an enthusiastic amateur can pull off. Blanchardstown SC haven’t cottoned on to the fact that an amateur-looking website reflects poorly on the company it represents.
