What makes a great website?
At Opus Creative we understand the need for a website that speaks to your client-base. We will work with you to create an outstanding, professional website that does exactly what it is supposed to do-sell your product or service.
Your website is often the first point of contact for a potential client. It is crucial that you have eye-catching website design that is easy to navigate, that your target audience will connect with, and that communicates clearly the central message of your company.
Oh, and did we mention it should also be a thing of beauty? Sounds like a tall order, right? At Opus Creative we call this good website design. We understand the crucial importance of your website as a marketing tool. Getting people on to your website is the first step, but you must also keep your target audience on your website and offer them compelling reasons to believe in your brand.
This is where clever copy and a strong visual sense come to the fore. These days’ people browse websites across a range of devices- from tablets, to smart phones, to laptops and PCs. Therefore, it is important to have a fully responsive website that works fluidly across a range of devices.
Your website design must also be aesthetically pleasing and communicate clearly your central message. At Opus Creative we offer the best of both worlds by fusing cutting-edge programming expertise with exceptional artistic flair.
We will sit down with you and work out your business needs, to create a website that your target audience will find compelling. This will give your business an edge over its competitors. But it does not stop there. We will incorporate your website into a tailored marketing strategy and connect you with social media across a range of platforms. This is how you maximise your company’s lead generation and sales.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
It’s simple, what do you want your website to achieve? The most common answer is a significant return on the site investment. We help our clients achieve this through our combined total of nearly 30 years of design experience and listening to our clients needs.

Branding
We shape effective strategies, powerful design and memorable experiences to inspire loyalty to brands and organisations.
Branding is about Perception
Branding is the process of building trust through positive experiences and perceptions at every touchpoint.
If you choose not to follow the route of branding – it happens regardless. Except, the viewer will overcome their lack of guidance and create their own narrative and share this with others.
Instead of truly defining your brand, you will allow someone else to do so!
Brand Workshops
We collaborate and develop the foundation and strategic direction for brands to help inspire the loyalty of their audience.
What is a brand?
A brand is a person’s gut feeling about a product, service or company. It’s a person’s gut feeling because brands are defined by individuals – not by companies or markets.
Your brand is a gut feeling because people are emotional, intuitive beings.
It’s not what you say about your brand, it’s what your audience says!
The purpose of a brand workshop?
Whether you’re a startup that is looking to define your unique identity or a long established company that needs to overhaul their image, participating in a brand workshop will allow you to redefine your businesses objectives and position yourself towards acheiving your goals.
From defining your brand’s digital marketing strategy to agreeing on the structure and functionality of your website, a brand workshop is an ideal catalyst to facilitate collaboration and fast track decision making.
Web Design
We build compelling and engaging websites with the user experience at the core of every pixel pushed and message delivered.
Customer Expectations
In a 2021 survey by Top Design Firms, 50% of consumers believed that web design is crucial to a business’s overall brand identity and had a significant influence on their purchasing decisions.
The data points to businesses need to prioritise web design in order to meet consumers’ expectations. This is essential to strengthen their brand’s perception and their ability to build trust from the first engagement to repeat sales.
User Experience
The core consideration of each website we build is the end user experience. In order for a website to achieve its strategic objectives, it must first solve a problem for the customer.
We believe that any web design process starts with knowing what the goal for the website is and how it serves the customer’s needs.
User Experience for us is how a person feels when interacting with a website. This user experience is paramount to lead generation, sales and trust.
Website Development
Thoughtful design, planning and clear project goals underpin the success of the development stage.
We understand the value of clear and concise coding. It is vital to the overall user experience with website speed, security and functionality directly influencing lead generation and sales.
Ecommerce
We build beautiful eCommerce websites using WooCommerce that convert visitors into sales. At the core of everything we do is to put the user experience first.
eCommerce Growth
In a 2018 survey by PayPal, Ireland was shown to be the biggest international online shoppers in the world (per capita) with a whopping 84% buying from overseas websites.
Before COVID IBIS World forecasted online sales (eCommerce) in Ireland would rise from €2.2 billion to €3.8 billion by 2024. This figure is likely to grow due to pandemic and Brexit.
Irish retailers are failing to take a bigger slice of the apple!
