What do web designers think of Enterprise Ireland funding a template monster style solution?

According to the front page of Website design for small business, starter websites, webdesign, web design, web design company, cheap web design, cheap webdesign, affordable web design, low cost web design, accessible web design, small business web design, basic web design, afforda they're an EI funded "initiative"

Horrendous and a frightening squandering of EI / Taxpayers money.

EI's 'mandate' is to support international export. How a template driven web design solution (which requires a physical visit to the customer) is ever going to get much beyond Dublin is a mystery.

So how does a local accountancy firm's website involve export?

All depends on how much EI gave them.

Looking at their checkout process they seem to be part of digiweb, therefore the EI logos may just be an over eager search for legitimacy. And the funding may actually have been to other parts of the digiweb empire?

The frontpage clearly states that it is EI funded. I don't see how that could be interpreted otherwise

True, just trying to give EI the benefit of the doubt.

However how do they achieve the following "providing employment for knowledge workers based in Ireland."

Whats so "Revolutionary" about it, that's what amuses me. Have you seen the state of the portfolio ? They look like discarded website templates from the 1990's, you know the ones that come free with magazines!

Oh and the fee, is recurring (€399 / year) , of course it doesn't tell you that on the main site text (unless I missed it).

Where does it say the fee is recurring?

Click on the "Become A Valued Customer Now" link at the bottom of THIS page.

You can see in the CART , Recurring Annual FEE .

I'm assuming nobody is planning on using Digiweb for hosting now that they're in direct competition with us? Especially seeing as they're selling useless placebos. Not the smartest move I'd have thought.
