JOB VACANCIES can be hard to come by, but Drogheda-based web design company MOR Solutions is happy to say it’s looking for staff.

The firm is hiring experienced web developers to join its workforce of nine, which designs websites and creates applications for businesses trying to tap into the potential of the web.

“When I was building my home back in 2000, I realised I couldn’t source simple things like doors or kitchens on the web,” says Louisa Maher, the firm’s founder. “I happened to be in the IT sector, so decided to give it a go, and it all took off from there.”

MOR’s clients include Flogas, Height for Hire and Tourism Ireland. Success didn’t come easily, though. Many businesses still thought the internet was a fad and didn’t see the value in it during the early days. That’s all changed now.

While the downturn has slowed business, and getting paid on time by some clients is an issue, Maher says there is plenty of business still out there.

“This is a great place to be based,” she says of Drogheda. “And this is a fascinating industry. Every day there is something new that can help customers improve business or drive sales online.”
