The Latest IT Tools for your Business

Wicklow County Enterprise Board

Since moving myself and the business down to Wicklow several months ago I’ve been really impressed with the work that the Wicklow County Enterprise Board (WCEB) are doing for small businesses in the area and just how proactive they are on the seminar, networking and roadshow initiatives. So I’m glad I caught this seminar alert in the local paper earlier this week.

Here’s an excerpt from the website…

Wicklow County Enterprise Board are hosting a Seminar entitled “Heads up – The Latest IT Tools for your Business“. The Seminar will give a snapshot of the most up to date technology that can be used to run a business more efficiently. Specifically, the event will cover: Blogging and Podcasting; gadgets that make business life easier; mobile technologies & PDAs; online applications can save money for offline business activities.The guest speaker is Damien Mulley (http://www.mulley.net) , one of Ireland’s best known bloggers and technology correspondent with the Sunday Tribune.

Looking forward to that. Full details are available from the WCEB website.

Meteor banners

Below are examples of a series of web site banners designed for Meteor.ie. I maximised the amount of information that Meteor could display in this small space by creating a mini slide show with up to 3 or 4 screens. Thereby allowing them to promote several products. The ‘1′ and ‘2′ square in the top left corner would indicate to the user which promo they were on and they could toggle between the different slides.

I’ve seen this technique appear now across several web sites from DELL to RTE to CNET.
