"We went for content management with Little Ireland because we just wanted the job done fast, but we are constantly surprised by the depth of add-ons and the flexibility their system gives. I design and maintain our other site but we have stayed with Little Ireland for our flagship product range when we could have quite happily re-done the site ourselves and migrated it to our own server after it was up and running. We have been with them for four years now and wouldn't consider moving, although we're constantly tweaking this and that, which the content management system allows you to do not only for clients who have no knowledge of html but also for people like us who can do it quicker and handier in content management than if we hosted the whole site ourselves. Take our new logo, for example. Link to the new file and bang, its all over the site. I could have done that in Dreamweaver but then I would have to upload all the new instances of it. The live support makes it all viable too, like when we wanted to track visitors from a referring url recently. I thought that would really fox them at Little Ireland but no, they have some code which links to Google Analytics and makes that possible for individual sites. I don't think I've asked them anything in those five years that they haven't come up with a solution for, and I don't think I've ever waited as long as 24 hours for an answer."
