History

Web Focus owner Edmund Boyle has been involved in digital technologies and the media since the nineteen eighties having originally worked as a stills photographer before entering the field of digital motion camera work. The evolution of the internet in the early nineteen nineties alongside the parallel growth of digital technology in cameras, editing and computers generated unique opportunities for those working in the area. Working with companies such as Allergan Pharmaceuticals and Botox provided exposure to other businesses, which led to the growth and expansion of his business into the Information technology support services sector. The merging of IT and digital media generated a requirement for comprehensive understanding, development and implementation of IT support services to all businesses. That merging of technologies led to the creation of Web Focus, an IT support and media creation services business.

After working as a professional photographer and incorporating digital production techniques through IT. Edmund  sought to educate and strengthen his knowledge in the rapidly expanding  area of digital technologies and IT support. After attending The University College of Limerick in their first year of their inaugural Digital Media Design course, Edmund went on to study at the National Television Training Centre. He worked with the Setanta Sports Television Group and ESPN Networks before completing a Post Graduate H.Dip in Computer Science at University College Dublin. He further went on to train in Los Angeles in specialist high definition cameras and 3D stereoscopic imaging in Ireland. He later returned to Westport where he now operates Web Focus offering managed IT services, digital media creation, web development and digital marketing services.

“Technology in the 1990’s was changing at a such a rapid pace and so so too was the convergence of different forms of media particularly on the internet. Although the internet and web pages were text-based at the beginning, photography was becoming the main medium for visuals and marketing. Internet speeds were still very slow but technology indicated it wasn’t going to be long before video over the internet was the next major milestone. iPhones and iPods were still a few years away but mobile video and the internet were on the horizon. The web as a tool for generating revenue was beginning to take effect as photography, video, marketing and social media began to converge. Shopping was easier as credit card transactions became secure. New technology allowed smaller businesses to adopt the web as a marketing tool to the world. Web Focus was established to make it possible for businesses to take advantage of the web as a lead generation, sales and revenue platform integrating all forms of digital media.”

Guidance

Our clients come from a wide array of business backgrounds and some are very much aware of IT services and the way their IT infrastructure operates. Other clients have a hands off approach and  delegate responsibility to colleagues, staff or outside service providers. We also have clients that operate a similar way with website development, media creation and marketing.  Our  clients are diverse and so too are their knowledge and experience of the wide range of services available. Some are new to online marketing and some are very experienced. Social media channels, search engine optomisation and regulatory requirements change daily.  We are very conscious of this and we will carefully guide a business whatever their level of experience. We are not interested in using technological jargon to impress a business with what we know. We are interested in finding out what they do know, helping them understand what they don’t know and educating ourselves about their business and their requirements.
