The differentiating features of websites designed by Paddy Gormley are as follows:

  • Click-to-play video footage, that plays in the main browser window and requires no special software downloads;
  • Click-to-play, CD quality, audio files and podcasts;
  • Easy navigation based on clear, well organised text and ideas: especially important in large, complex sites;
  • Attractive, imaginative, highly personalised graphic design and animation.
  • Impressive audio-visual presentations on-line;
  • Excellent search results (especially larger and longer established sites: no promises or guarantees!);
  • Colourful, graphical interlinkage of related sites (e.g. within "portfolio" sites);
  • Multiple domain names when appropriate to enable highly focused marketing or promotion.
  • Paddy Gormley's clients are free to maintain their own websites if they wish.

 

These features are particularly well illustrated in Paddy Gormley's main reference sites, as follows:

"Have been browsing the Broadleaf site over the last week or so... The site is just fantastic - seriously - I sent the URL to a couple of people here who look after [one of our national government sites], just to see what they thought - same response - tremendous amount of info, well-structured (they talked about good scent lines?) and transparently intelligent - and both commented on the standard of writing throughout - uniform tone, crisp grammar, virtually no editorial issues - I was also really impressed with the little tutorials, which have a spillover benefit of permitting a bit of a technical demonstration - on balance, a really excellent site - in fact, a bit intimidating :-) "
