Matt started the “company website run on WordPress” theme by posting that moo.com runs on WordPress, so here are two Irish companies that use WordPress to run their websites:
- Segala, a company involved in website accessability and trust. They have rather an interesting idea about content labeling. Paul Walsh, their CEO, “is Segala’s W3C advisory committee representative”. Keep an eye on them. You’ll be hearing more about them I’m sure! Oh, and if you leave a comment here, it may be entered into a
link baitcompetition Paul’s running. He’s giving away an iPod on March 2nd. If he picks you, I’ll email you with Paul’s email address. - The second website I will mention is one outside of the usual web 2.0 zone. It’s Harrington Estates, an estate agent in West Cork, Ireland. Houses are listed in posts, and interested buyers can leave a comment using the standard comment form. Thanks to the SEO friendly nature of WordPress, the site also appears on the front page of Google for related search terms! Thanks Frank for that info!
Are there any more Irish companies using WordPress that I can profile in a future post?
Update – the winner has been announced! Competition closed!

Awesome! I’m glad this blog got it.
Congrats Donncha! Or should I say congrats to whoever ends up with the ipod… congrats to both of you!
It’s a bit of fun which brought a few of us closer together! 🙂 We’ll have to see if we can come up with a new game in a few weeks – we have lots of games to get rid of. I don’t want to over do it though.
Congratulations on winning & earning the kind words over at segala.com

Does the i in i-pod stand for Irish? have you heard that Apple are trying to patent the letter ‘i’ so if I Guinness did an i-Guinness they’d be sued?
Btw, who won the iPod? 🙂
Hi Donncha,

Hey was this competition for real? Or was it just another internet scam?
WordPress is good because there are many free plugin you can use. In fact, it is a good idea for companies to use wordpress because this is the direction where the internet is moving.

Who has IPhone, who tested it ? I am in Europe and I want to buy one … here we don’t have it.
Doh – another competition I didn’t win – guess I need the luck of the Irish!!!
Hey, just looking for free iPod contests. There appear to be quite a few out there, but I guess I’m too late for this one 😉 I’m not Irish, but I was there recently this summer. But brother married an Irish girl (Bryne) down in Wicklow area. That’s an incredibly beautiful island. I’ll be back one day.
