Web Development
Redstrand develop content managed and eCommerce websites. We are based in Dublin, Ireland and have been developing websites since 2003.
Web development is a very broad term that applies to the creation of many different types of website, and different development companies have different areas of expertise. We have always worked with clients who need to content manage their website and typically they also sell their products and services online.
Content Managed Website
These days it is essential to at least have a CMS for your website. Gone are the days when you can create a static brochure site and leave it at that. More and more websites are being used as communication tools to attract and interact with people.
eCommerce - Selling Online
The Internet is also a great place to sell your goods and services. Not only does it allow you to sell 24/7, but it gives you the opportunity to increase your client base. And more and more people are shopping online. There was €22m spent online in Ireland on 1st December, 2008 (see this article on siliconrepublic.com). Even though this is a peak figure being in the Christmas period, it does seem to indicate that Irish people are becoming more comfortable with spending online, and in a recession!
