    What do you think is the Irish Website with the best design and why?

    I know I should add in my own opinion but Im still thinking!

    I stumbled across this site yesterday and ended up adding it to my bookmarks. I thought it was very clean, well laid out and looked professional. Not cluttered like other big property sites, e.g. myhome, etc.

    www.huntforproperty.ie


    Other Irish site designs I like:

    Spoilt Child - www.spoiltchild.com
    All Alan's work is pretty cool, especially his own site

    The Design Tribe - www.thedesigntribe.com
    I like the tick on the menu to show visited pages :) and general layout / colour scheme.

    Ireland.ie - www.ireland.ie
    I suppose the easy to use navigation and well laid out content attracts me to this site.

    Would be interested to see other ppls favourites.

    I'll throw in a few sites I designed... clean and simple is my motto!

    http://www.dole.ie
    http://www.staff.ie

    I hate sites like Ireland.ie. Too much information on the screen!

    I like the simplicity of your sites but it can't work for all sites. Some sites need a bit more colour and imagery to look good! Your sites seem to fit well though! :D

    As a matter of interest - how are pulling the search results from the different portals, e.g. loadzajobs.ie? You can PM me if you like as not to hijack this thread! :D

    Hey,

    Just looked at your dole.ie site. Its got a very nice and clean design alright. Just a sudjestion though, when i went to the site first off it took me a bit of looking around to find out what the site was for. Maybe a bit of info text would help?

    Basically, I do what Google do - I have spiders which crawl around their sites looking for new jobs. They're smart and extremely lightweight so they don't affect the different jobsites' server performance at all really...
