An easy to use, trustworthy directory of therapies, professional therapists, centres, organisations, health services and events in Ireland promoting positive health to the public. I have worked in various IT position for the last twenty years, twelve of these have been providing one to one computer training and consultancy to clients, both private and corporate, in Ireland, on site, in their homes and offices. I have a very good understaning of the publics use of the internet, website design and search engine optimisation. I am also an Holistic Therapist and so I understand the products on offer in this online directory. And so I have created this visual website based on maps, which attracts people to look at the areas where they live, work and play to see what services are available. When you login to the directory the first time, you will be asked to choose your location. There are a choice of places and maps; Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Belfast. More cities can be added, just let me know if you need any added. You will be able to see what is in the locality for the main categories: therapies (purple), centres (grey), organisations (blue), services (red) and events (orange) represented by coloured flags. Each main category can have an endless amount of sub-categories which I will update as required, I don't want loads of empty categories. Simply point at a flag on any map, to see who it is, click on it to see more details and click on the link in the bubble to go directly to that persons profile page. All of the providers details are clearly available on the profile page and there are excellent options for displaying information, including, photos, slideshows, videos, social media links, special offers option, contact details and a review option if you like. The public can find services locally and therapist and centres will be able to link up with colleagues in their local areas. You can set up your own profile by clicking on the Add Place link at the top the directory. If you require any assistance, please feel free to call me on 086 3473473 and I can assist you. It's pretty straight forward but here are a few tips you can benefit from. The current method of payment is pay pal and if you don’t have a Pay Pal account, there would be no better time than now to set one up, they are very handy to have and most secure to use for online payment. I can also assist you with this if required. If indeed you prefer, I can set up your account for you, all you need to do is e-mail me for an application form. Benefits of the site:
Membership allows you to post events, as many as you like. This directory is based on maps, which people like to look at, particularly to see what is going on in their own area where they live, work and play. Searches can be made on categories but also on keywords, which makes it much easier for the business to be found and so much more easy for the pulic to find what they are looking for locally in one search. When someone sees your flag, they simply point at it to see who you are, click on it to see more details and click on the link in the bubble to go directly to the profile page. The business profile is all on one clear page, with photos, slideshow, video option, all methods of contact; telephone, mobile, website, e-mail, facebook, twitter and a share of all known social media options – which are fast becoming the way to communicate, your details, special offers and you can choose to have a review section when setting up your profile.
