Irish Retailers Don’t Get The Web

October 17, 2007 by Michele Neylon 7 Comments

Getting a high quality website designed and developed is not cheap. If you want it done properly you will need to deal with professionals and professionals do not come cheap.

A lot of people may find the competition being run by a multi-million euro shopping centre an insult. Blanchardstown Shopping Centre (on the outskirts of Dublin city, Ireland) are running a competition to get their site revamped.

A couple of things about the way they’re running it strike me as odd:

  1. The prize money is only 1000 euro. You wouldn’t expect to get a small brochure site designed for that money these days
  2. The competition is sponsored by Bank of Ireland. So they’re only paying out 1000 euro and they’re too cheap to even pay that themselves?

Maybe I’m missing something, but it strikes me as yet another instance of Irish business not “getting” the ‘net
