Digital

We bring together website design, search, content and digital communications to help organisations make better use of the opportunities online.

The result is a digital presence that feels joined-up, reflects your brand and, most importantly, works for the people you're trying to reach.

Website Design & Development

Websites that work hard for your organisation

A good website should do more than look good. It should make your organisation easier to understand, make information easier to find and make it easier for people to take the next step.

At Passion for Creative, we design and develop websites for healthcare organisations, community organisations, professional services and established Irish businesses.

We’re based in Waterford and have been designing websites since 2006. Over the years, we’ve worked with everyone from GP practices and medical organisations to community services, professional associations, engineering companies and growing Irish businesses.

Our approach brings strategy, branding, content and digital design together. Because a website is only really successful when all of those things are working together.

We don’t just build websites. We think about what they’re for.

Before we start designing, we want to understand your organisation, your audiences and what you need the website to achieve.

Are you trying to attract new patients or clients? Make information easier to find? Explain a complex service? Recruit people? Sell products? Support an existing customer base? Or simply bring an outdated website up to where it needs to be?

Once we understand the problem, we can work out the right solution. That might be a relatively simple website that is easy for your team to manage, or a larger, more complex digital platform with multiple audiences, services and content requirements.

Websites for organisations with something to say

We have particular experience working with organisations where communication really matters.

Healthcare

We’ve designed websites for GP practices, medical consultants, hospitals, healthcare associations, therapy services and other healthcare organisations.

Healthcare websites have to work for a wide range of people, often when they’re looking for important information quickly. Clear structure, accessible content and straightforward navigation are therefore just as important as the visual design.

Community & public organisations

We also have extensive experience working with community organisations, publicly funded services and organisations working across health, family support, education and social care.

These websites often have lots of information and multiple audiences to cater for. We help make that information easier to understand and easier to find.

Established Irish businesses

From professional services and engineering companies to manufacturing, telecoms and other established Irish businesses, we’ve helped organisations bring their brands and digital presence up to date.

Whatever the sector, the principle is the same: understand the audience, understand the organisation and create a website that works for both.

What we do

Strategy & structure

We start by working out what the website needs to do and how people are likely to use it. We then develop the structure, navigation and content hierarchy around those needs.

Website design

We create websites that reflect your organisation and your brand rather than forcing you into an off-the-shelf look.

Good design isn’t just about making something attractive. It’s about making it clear, intuitive and easy to use.

WordPress development

Most of our websites are built in WordPress, giving you a flexible content management system that your team can manage without needing to be a web developer.

We’ll show you how it works and give you the confidence to make routine updates yourself.

Content

If you already have content, we’ll help you shape it, edit it and organise it. If you’re starting from scratch, we can help with the copywriting too.

We believe good website content should sound like the organisation behind it – not like it was written by a committee or a robot.

Accessibility & responsive design

We design for desktops, tablets and smartphones and follow recognised accessibility and usability best practice, including relevant WCAG principles.

This is particularly important for healthcare, community and public organisations, where providing accessible information is part of doing the job properly.

Search-friendly from the start

We build good search-engine practice into the website from the beginning. That includes sensible page structures, page titles, descriptions, headings, content and technical foundations.

We don’t believe in stuffing websites full of keywords. The best starting point for search visibility is a genuinely useful website with clear, relevant content. And if you need ongoing SEO support after launch, we can help with that too.

Training & support

When your new website goes live, we don’t simply hand you the keys and disappear. We’ll show you how to manage your content and provide training so that you can make routine changes yourself.

And if you’d rather leave the website management to us, our ongoing support service can take care of updates, content changes, design adjustments, troubleshooting, analytics and general website support.

A website is part of your brand

This is something we’ve learned after 20 years of designing brands and websites. Your website shouldn’t feel like a separate thing that happens to sit alongside your brand. It should feel like an extension of it.

That’s why our website projects often involve more than web design. We can help with brand strategy, visual identity, messaging, photography, content and other communications as part of the same project.

It’s one of the advantages of working with a brand and digital agency rather than a web developer alone.

A straightforward process

We’ve been designing websites for 20 years, so we’ve learned a thing or two about keeping projects moving.

We’ll start by understanding your organisation, your audiences and what you need the website to achieve. From there, we’ll work through the structure, content and design with you before developing and testing the finished site.

We know you’re busy. Your website probably isn’t your main job, so we’ll keep things organised, explain what we need from you and do as much of the heavy lifting as we can.

And because we’re a small, experienced team, you’ll deal directly with the people working on your project.
