JamJo is delighted to announce a website we designed just won a national award for the Best Website at the AOIFE (Association of Irish Festivals & Events) Irish Festival Marketing Awards. The Ardmore Pattern Festival website was announced as the winner during the AOIFE Annual Conference in Ballinasloe, Co Galway on 11 November. Here’s what the good folks over at the festival had to say: “…beat off competition from the Galway Arts Festival and the Dublin Theatre Festival!! A big thanks to AOIFE and the Carlton Hotel Group and to our website designers, Jamjo.”

A new year and JAMJO are off to a flyng start! We introduce Wild Wood Toys. Our job: to brand, design and implement a full scale e-commerce solution for this Waterford based company. The fine folks over there supply beautiful, handmade traditional wooden toys made from beechwood, maple, birch or pine.

“Websites are never finished. they’re abandoned”
it came to me whilst in New Jersey this year recording some music at Big Blue Meanie studio…i noticed that the very quest to root out the finest of details and trim and chop and improve could often prove fruitless…and you find you have to tear yourself away before you end up with an over produced amalgamation of your own insecurities…the moral of this ditty? know when to finish….know when the bun is cooked!…..too much aimless tinkering and indulgent meddling will remove whats originally good with your designs…there is such a thing as over thinking it after all and speaking of finishing websites…your tried and trusty web lords have been busy these last few weeks putting the finishing touches on various work that has come in…some recent and some that [...]
No longer virgins – our first website award!
JAMJO Design are pleased to announce that our site Small Business Can has won a gold award for best website or micro-site at the prestigious CIPR Pride awards. Since we launched the site back in march it has steadily grown in popularity and emerged as one of the fastest growing online small business networks in Ireland and the UK today. A tear comes to our eyes when we see our babies grow up! The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Northern Ireland awards were held in the Europa Hotel, Belfast last week. Some of the SBC team were on hand to pick up the award in front of an audience of more than 200 business people. The panel of judges were very impressed by the site saying: “This is a [...]

Exciting times ahead online at pedigreedogs.ie Well done to Paul and all the efforts from the full team behind the website. VISIT WEBSITE….
Over 50,000 visits!
Today we are pleased to announce a milestone….just over 50,000 visits to JAMJO’s websites last month!….roughly 70 clients in all…our bouce rate (essentially the percentage of people that nip off to another site having viewed only 1 page) is a respectable 31%… Avinash Kaushik, a Google analytics specialist says: “It is really hard to get a bounce rate under 20%, anything over 35% is cause for concern, 50% (above) is worrying” most proud are we of these stats and hope to hit that elusive 100,000 visits by years end…a big feat! but with the likes of the very popular Small Business Can we think we can get there!
