Lismore Heritage Centre unveils new website

Lismore Heritage Centre is delighted to announce the launch of its new updated website www.discoverlismore.com, reflecting the modern and exciting offering at the Lismore facility.

The work was enabled through the Fáilte Ireland, Digital That Delivers programme launched in 2021 to help smaller tourism businesses connect with visitors before they arrive in an area and provide up-to-date booking engines, to enable businesses to capture the customer’s interest while they are browsing online.

This programme has also provided small tourism businesses with the opportunity to avail of training in how to create content, use of digital online platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, SEO and the back office management of Google Analytics and Google Ads.

‘THRILLED’ Speaking on the development, Mealla Fahey, manager of Lismore Heritage Company said, “We were thrilled to work with a local Dungarvan Company on the development of our new website and we feel this new site now reflects the fantastic offering here at Lismore Heritage Centre that includes our virtual reality and augmented reality Lismore Castle Experience, The Robert Boyle Escape Room, and locally guided town tours.

“The new website also showcases our extensive education offering and with the amazing photography, it gives visitors a preview of what they can expect when they visit us here, in Lismore”.

ORIGINAL EXPERIENCE AVAILABLE

To celebrate the launch of the new site and 31 years in business, Lismore Heritage Centre have uploaded the original ‘Lismore Experience’ to the video gallery on the new site.

Declan.

Commenting on the launch, Oren Byrne of local company Totem, developers of the site, stated that, “The new design allows for a seamless user journey throughout the site, a vibrant colour palette and the use of spectacular imagery bring the personality and experience of the centre to the fore, highlighting both their cutting edge virtual reality tours and the more traditional guided tours.”
