Dave JacksonAs they say in Hollywood “its awards season” and we are delighted to announce what we hope are the first of many nominations for our work in the best Irish and International award shows.
IIA Dot IE Net Visionary Awards
3 of our projects have been shortlisted in this year’s IIA Dot IE Net Visionary Awards and we need your help as 2 out of the 3 categories partly take into account the public vote on top of the judging panel.
Best Website – Most joyous to look at and splendid to use
This visually stunning website was designed for St.Patricks Cathedral in Dublin with careful, thorough planning and UX design along with great content and photography. The multilingual website features event calendars, rich content and online ticketing.
Best Social Media Campaign
We are very proud of everyone here at Friday for coming up with the concept and developing this campaign of Tinder for TD’s within a week around election time earlier this year. It was all a bit of fun and shameless self promotion, a win win for everyone.
Best eCommerce Execution by a Retailer
We worked closely with Abbas in iClothing.com to create a new interface and UX where users could really get immersed in the products.
Awwwards.com
Our own web site friday.ie has been shortlisted for the high profile Site of the Day on awwwards.com. Our site is currently being voted on by the judges. Awwwards aims to recognise and promote the best of innovative web design and showcases some of the best web and UX design in the world and is a place of inspiration for designers across the world.
Fingers, arms and toes crossed, getting a Site of the Day nod would be huge for us on a international level. Here is our public score so far, the public only counts for 12% of the overall vote with the judges: http://www.awwwards.com/sites/the-friday-agency
The Irish Web Awards
We have 4 projects shortlisted in this years Irish Web Awards. Our own web site friday.ie is in the Most Beautiful Site category and is up against St.Patricks Cathedral, pity both can’t win!

Dave is co-Founder and UX Director at Friday. His passion is in simplifying the complex and transforming the monotonous into something enjoyable. He tries to apply these principles of UX to everyday life.... with mixed results!
