Default Irish Web Design Directory - Opinions Wanted!

Hi All,
I've been thinking of starting an online directory for web design in Ireland and wanted to get some views from you all first.
What features or functionality would you like to see in such a directory? Would it make sense to have a category for each county?
Any other tips or suggestions?
Thanks,
Bearaman

A category for each county would be nice.
Syndicating their Blog RSS feed if they have one would be a plus.
A way of presenting their portfolio would be nice too but maybe difficult to implement and update dynamically.

Thanks for the input Cormac,
Maybe each web designer could select 5 of their best sites that they've designed? At least that would give people an idea of what each designer can do.

Anything else it should contain?
Thanks,
Bearaman

Hi,
It's something I thought about particularly for the North. Got the domain name and the software just can't seem to find any spare time to put the plan into action.

Why not just have a link back to their homepage which should have a link to their portfolio, or a deep link to their portfolio page.

Yea, a link back to the portfolio page would be a good idea. I'd say I'm a good way off launching this thing (if at all) and was just seeing what web designers would be looking for in terms of a good web directory.
Thanks,
Bearaman

The main reason is that there doesn't seem to be a good directory of web designers in Ireland out there. I would like this to become a place where people could search for web designers in their own area. Sound OK?

To be honest its a bit of a stupid question isn't it ... ?

A website listing all the designers and their work .. from there he has the potential to have advertising ... paid links and so on depending on how the site works out.

Whether he does this or not he would still have the choice.

He'd also get recognition for having done the site not to mention having a big list to all the designers signed up in ireland.


Why do you have your sites ? for the good of man kind
