Instagram Widget Now Available
Ted Edwards • 23 December 2019
You can now connect directly to Instagram

If you've been paying attention to what's happening in Irez Towers over the past 12 months, there's been a number of things popping up called connections. It started with creating connected galleries you can update once and have populate on multiple pages throughout the site at the same time.
Then we moved on to Dynamic Pages, allowing bulk creation of website pages from nothing more than a spreadsheet.
Connections is the new flavour and I believe a solid foundation to what's coming in 2020.
Instagram will dominate 2020
As far as the social networks go, there's no doubt the growth of Instagram will only accelerate further into 2020 as parent company Facebook looks for other avenues to pick up where Facebook itself is declining. I've umm'd and ahhh'd as to whether a dedicated Instagram widget is feasible, and with a few developer limitations on the Instagram end, it's not something that can be achieved currently without providing a 3rd party service - ie, additional cost.
However, through connections, you can connect to your own Instagram account now from within the website editor
and I don't have to charge any extra. Win win!
In the interest of simplicity, it's been done within the gallery widget, simply click on Connect to Insta and away you go.
The way it looks and how many tiles you show is up to you, each image will automatically open the relevant Instagram page on click, easy as pie.
The images will automatically update without any intervention from you each time you create a new Instagram post
Instagram stats to consider
Instagram is the world’s fastest growing social media platform, and has huge benefits for businesses of all types and all sizes. Here’s why:
- Instagram has 1 billion+ monthly active users. That makes it the third most popular social network in the world (after YouTube and Facebook).
- Instagram is increasingly popular among older audiences. Instagram has always been popular amongst younger ones, but the largest growing audience is older than 18, making it super important for businesses who market to this age category.
- 80% of Instagram users follow a business. And the number is growing all the time. This makes Instagram a great way for businesses to reach customers when they are not on their site, ultimately increasing engagement and conversion.
See It In Action
You've no doubt seen Google Street View images before, in maps where you drill down to the actual shot, but did you know you can take that inside your business. For a simple one off price, you can have a 360 degree tour inside your shop. Now's the perfect time to arrange it.

Took the new mirrorless cam for a spin today. So much easier to go hiking compared to the weight of my normal DSLR bag and gear. Although admittedly I will be adding more to the mirrorless range soon... Well as soon the chief financial officer lets me.

Running a small business is a tough ask for anyone, add to that the competition is getting tougher, sales are getting harder, the world is a changing economic climate all impacting how we do business. Having an innovative and creative product is important, standing out from the crowd and creating distinction from the rest.
That's something I strive to reiterate everyday at Irez, not only with the solutions that we provide, but also in the ability to maximise your return on investment. Having a great website and SEO strategy should always be seen as an investment, not a cost. If your digital plan is costing you money, you have the wrong plan.
Like advertising, the spend should be bringing you a return financially or time or even better both.
