Web design and SEO client sales increase over 400%

We’ve just received a sales income update from a client retailing medical trade stationery showing a 400% increase on product sales over the past 12 month. We converted the site to a Google mobile friendly (responsive) web design 5 years ago and as you can see there’s almost a 50:50 split on device platform use. This confirms Google’s decision to enforce and punish any websites not conforming to their ‘responsive’ requirements and condones our move many years ago away from traditional web page design to WordPress responsive web design. The increased sales over a 12 month period would be the envy of many on-line sales companies. This has been achieved...

Both Stevenson Builders and Hartlee Tree Surgeons have completed work for Oast House Media, and very good work it was to!

Fireplace shop in Deal, new web design

Oast House Media have worked with many new business start-ups over the years. The Firebox based in Deal, Kent sell and install Stoves and Fireplaces but were not sure how a website design would work for them and how they could keep it up to date. A brief meeting in their beautiful showrooms in Deal helped explain all about WordPress websites, logo conversion (OHM re-designed the logo), Google search engine optimisation and the free WordPress training we offer with all web designs. Having worked with other businesses in the fireplace trades, we knew images were going to be plentiful and very good quality so OHM recommended a gallery style web...

FireBox new web design coming soon

Firebox Kent are a new start-up business based in Deal, just down the road from Oast House Media. The new website is in progress and will go live later this month but to get the Google Bot interested we post these news blogs with a link to the holding page. We also updated their logo design for all media use, in this case without charge as it’s a font based design and took just a few minutes to complete. Long term this will save the client hours/£s of re-design work as we supply the original Ai file and export files for print, signage and web. With the new logo in...

Drone videos enhance fishing lakes website

Existing client Sandwich Lakes situated between Eastry and Sandwich in Kent contacted us earlier in the year requesting a few changes to their site plan diagram created by us a few years ago. We suggested drone videos to enhance the browser experience and to encourage the potential fisherman to visit the lakes. So off we set on a lovely sunny day earlier this month with our drone man Chris to fly and record over all the lakes and caravan/motorhome facilities. The results we think are spectacular! see website page: sandwichlakes.co.uk/our-lakes

Protecting your products and services like Rioja wine?

Counterfeiting is an age old problem and is probably more prevalent today than it has ever been. For example, here at Oast House Media we are always banging on about image use and copyright – either protecting your original work or using someone elses. We’ve seen many cases (no pun intended) of clients coming to us with images and sometimes text copied directly from a competitors website in clear breach of UK copyright law. The whole subject is a minefield and a very expensive one if you get it wrong. One of the earliest examples of a company trying to protect their produce was the famous Rioja wine brand. In...

Sandwich Medieval charity website design goes live

Our old Sandwich Events client Steve Laslett (sandwichevents.org.uk) contacted Oast House Media about a new charity website project with a very low budget, basically the question was how could we deliver and professional web design for their ‘Medieval’ section to take over and develop themselves. Oast House Media pride themselves in supporting Kent based clubs and charities with discounted website design so we proposed a structure only (no content) design for their web guys to populate the pages. We are glad to say that process is in progress and we have added another charity to our portfolio see website: sandwichmedieval.org Other charities and clubs discounted websites include: www.ashford-tenterden-umbrella.co.uk www.doverwesternheights.org www.sandwichevents.org.uk...

Deal care home new web design

Generals Meadow Care Home in Walmer, Deal was purchased by long term web design clients Bradfield last year. Owner David Johnson asked Oast House media to look into a new web design using the existing old content but with new images. A new logo design was also required to replace the old version and look similar to the Bradfield design to show a corporate identification. The new WordPress web design is fully editable and as the owner already has experience with their Bradfield website, they can commence editing content immediately. The re-design from start to finish only took a week and included a new web name purchase see website: generalsmeadowcarehome.co.uk
