refreshed website content

Refreshed content – the simple SEO answer to going top of Google?

There is no doubt that since Google kicked ‘back linking’ into touch a few years ago it’s now all about streaming original, quality, keyword heavy content into your web pages. Our website homepage is updated on average every week (with posts like this) and the results are very rewarding. In our trade, being top of Google for “website designers in Kent” is a great achievement because every website designer in Kent is trying to do the same thing. But there’s no magic, no tricks, just a few minutes a week adding content. For WordPress websites this is easy… pick a subject you know all about write about 300 words add...

Have website – will travel

Awaydays Travel based in Faversham have been web design clients for over five years. Owner Brian Booth requested a WordPress website re-design having read about OHM’s special offer in our monthly newsletter.

Email error codes – what do they mean?

It is so frustration when you send an important message and you get an error bounce reply with a load of mumbo jumbo attached. But what does it all mean. Just recently a client forwarded a ‘550’ to us complaining that it’s an email account they regularly send to, turns out the recipient was having mail problems, that’s why the error was issued – clever, but only if you know what they mean. Here at OHM we enjoy 24/7 server support, reported errors like the ‘550’ get quick responses so we can get back to our clients. In this case, less than 15 minutes! Here’s a list of error codes...

Tracking your website’s Google position

We reported this topic a few months ago but SEO (search engine optimisation) has changed so here’s our latest ‘best practice’ guide update. Using Google’s webmaster tools is fine and we recommend it as a great SEO tool but you can’t beat a manual test – this is how we track our Google position on Google SERPs (search engine results pages). Clear your browsing history First and foremost you MUST clear any history cached by your web browser (it changes results), on our devices using Firefox the ‘clear history’ is under the ‘history’ tab, nice and easy. Ideally you need to clear this every time you search (We’ve got an...

Intermix2 DJ Ken wordpress website re-design

DJ Ken gets a new website

DJ Ken based in Hertfordshire has been a client for many years. It’s always nice to work with website design clients outside of our normal catchment area Kent and despite never meeting we have a very good working relationship. This helps when working with clients not in the area especially when we start the FREE WordPress training sessions. Ken’s old static page website design had served him well and the client was able to do minor updates himself. The new WordPress website has a more advanced client content management area allowing advanced editing as well as the basic stuff like adding images, hyperlinks, text editing etc. The new website also...

WordPress Tips – Not turning off ‘allow comments’!

We get a few calls each month from WordPress website design clients about their Dashboard settings and how to get the most out of their news feeds. Apart from good quality text content, internal links to other pages and at least one really nice photo, the common error is…. Not turning off the ‘allow comments’ action. WordPress historically is a blogging tool, therefore there are a few elements left over from that functionality that we do not use today, a bit like an appendix operation if you don’t remove fix can be painful! A client called this week complaining about over 1000 ‘comments’ in their post listings which is going to...

website design for mobile devices

Upgrade to WordPress Google friendly web pages

Over the past two years we’ve been converting old html static page websites to WordPress web pages Why? In April 2015 Google changed it’s delivery policy on results pages, it clearly stated, having identified that over 50% of its results were viewed on mobile devices, that all websites needed to be ‘mobile friendly‘ or as we call it in the trade – ‘responsive’. Google set up a checking service: search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly to help developers and designers to evaluate existing pages. Here at OHM we decided to design all new websites using WordPress and for good reason: Google likes WordPress and the 2 companies work closely together SEO is built into all...
