Helping you discover Belfast

New Look Website

May 28th, 2009 by webmaster No comments »

After much searching I have finally decided on a new look for the website whcih has launched today. The goal was to create a cleaner, crisper look and feel and allow more attention to go on the content.

This design is based on the Green Apples theme, so thanks to the team for all their hard work in developing something I was excited about using for SnapshotBelfast.

I would love to know what you think so please, add a comment, send an email, have a voice.

Time for Change

April 30th, 2009 by webmaster No comments »

Change is good I have had this site up and running for some time now, but I am not happy with it and want to make it better. But to do that I need your input. Please add your comments to this post and let me know what you would change about the site, design, functionality, content, everything is up for review.

I cannot guarantee that I will have the resource available to make all the changes but the best ideas will get serious consideration after which I may need to reach out to the talent pool of individuals that make up the Belfast and Northern Ireland IT scene for help.

Black Taxi Tours – a great way of seeing the city and if you are lucky you will get one of the many quirky drivers Belfast has to offer who will be full of craic, an event in itself!
The Crown Liquor Salon – No trip to Belfast is complete without sampling a pint of the black stuff in one of the most amazing bars in town, a real blast from the past

St Georges Market – the best days for this are Friday and Saturday with Saturday being my favorite.
Botanic Gardens – When the sun is shining this is a great place to hang out an relax. With the River Lagan, Queens University and the stylish and cafe full Stranmills Areas a mere stones throw away
St Anne’s cathedral – Set in the heart of the ever expanding, increasingly popular and hub of excitement and entertainment, the cathedral quarter.
