We are EMC³ and we build online applications. We are a young company with lots of experience – the core team has over 30 years' collective experience in the IT industry. We have the know-how to see your website grow from initial discussions to full deployment.
There is an old saying: 'He who speaks, sows; He who listens, reaps.' Discussion is a critical part of a project. We will listen to you, listen to your expectations for the site and what you want it to achieve. We will advise you in all areas relating to design, usability, content management and deployment.
At this point we create site flow charts, design mock-ups or wireframes, database structures, function diagrams and workflow, storyboards and flow diagrams, defined functions of the website, database schemas and code development requirements. We can also write up the copy for the site or edit existing copy.
This is when the look and feel of the site begins to take real shape, when our design team will refine layouts agreed from the earlier stage in the process. This involves getting back to the client regularly with ideas and designs, at which point the client can highlight areas or chop and change aspects they are unsure about.
The development team code up the site as outlined in the previous stages in the process. Using valid standards compliant mark-up we will integrate the designed layouts into the content management system that best suits you. Through project management we will keep you informed at each stage of the development process.
We don't just build your site and close the door. We know websites need monitoring and refinement so they can continue to reach their intended audience. Through clean design and standards compliant coding practices, coupled with keywords and descriptions, we will ensure your site is SEO ready. Should you wish to outsource SEO management we will endeavour to ensure that your site is optmised from a technical and aesthetic point of view to help with that all important top ranking. With the help of industry- leading analytical tools we can tailor the experience and add tweaks to improve it.
In following the first step in our five-point process, we can then decide which services are best suited to allow your online presence to grow.
The way we work is that we focus initially on what you, the client, wants from your website. As soon as we refine your needs and goals, we then turn our attention to the creative and technological services such as design, content management, copywriting and much more.
We are able to build a comprehensive range of websites such as corporate sites, branded and unbranded sites, as well as intranets and extranets.
Because our team has a skill set that includes creative, technological and project management expertise, the end result is always a website that looks great and ticks all the boxes in terms of what you require it to do.
We use a variety of technologies, but we select the one most suited to our clients’ needs after the initial discussion process. Our approach is flexible – we are not tied to any one system or provider. We develop using a variety of technologies including .NET, ASP, PHP, PERL, C and VB. We also use a variety of content management systems, and again these can be tailored to your needs.

This is a large scale deliverable and the end users are some of the household names in Irish Insurance. In recent years the insurance regulator refined the rules as to the training which must be adhered to in the industry and how it is tracked and monitored.
