The client

Ireland's tile specialists since 1968

Ceramic City supplies a massive range of ceramic and porcelain floor and wall tiles for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and outdoor spaces, along with bathroom furniture, sanitary ware and accessories to complete the look.

With showrooms in Castlebar, Charlestown and Sligo, a commercial division and regular special offers, they needed a website that could carry a huge, ever-changing range and still make it easy to find the perfect tile.

What we built

A showroom that never closes

  • Virtual showroom hero

    The homepage leads with a 3D virtual showroom tour, letting customers walk the displays from home before they visit.

  • Comprehensive navigation dropdown

    A mega menu breaks wall and floor tiles down by room, finish, effect, colour and size, with 14 bathroom ware categories from taps and showers to mirrors and lighting.

  • Vast filtering system

    Customers narrow hundreds of products down in a few clicks, from marble-look to wood effect and from 10 x 10 to large-format slabs.

  • Bathroom ware & accessories

    Furniture, suites, baths, shower enclosures, radiators and accessories sit alongside the tiles to complete every project.

  • Special offers

    A dedicated special offers section puts end-of-line deals and promotions in front of bargain hunters.

  • SEO

    Search-optimised category pages, titles and descriptions, plus a regular "What's New" blog, so Ceramic City ranks for the tiles people are searching for.
