The office staff received a set of images from one of the...

A beautiful new website for Beautiful Homes UK

A referral from our business partners GotopSEO, Deal based Beautiful Homes UK already had a website but there was a problem, it was a Wix website! OK, what’s the problem with a Wix website i hear you say? Well you can ask co-director Cian O’Hanlon, he built it. The age old problem with any of the cloud web template packages is the Google SEO, it sucks! Do not expect a ‘catch all’ design process like Wix to work with Google, no chance, Google is very selective about how it caches data from website, that’s why we built the Beautiful Homes UK website (and all other web clients) using WordPress. WordPress...

Pet cremation website goes live

Sadly we all have to say goodbye to pets at sometime in our lives, a difficult time in any family especially with children parting with their much loved little buddies. Treasured Friends are one of Kent’s premier pet cremation companies and specialise in the care and sympathy required during this sad event. Owner Carl Bolton requested an easy to manage website design that could be updated by staff from their Thanet offices. With a WordPress site already in place but not fully accessible, it was just a case of replicating the design and using all the WordPress functionality that wasn’t available previously. Using our large portfolio of WordPress themes we...

New website for Gillingham Electrical Wholesaler goes live

After a close call with Covid19, Priority Electrical owner Simon Fowler requested a quick re-design of their old website. Having prepared the ground with the previous overseas based design company, Oast House Media managed the web name transfer to a UK registrar and created a temporary holding page. With the site web page still not 100% complete, Simon asked to go live so he could let all his Medway. Kent customers know that they are still trading and open for business. This works well for the client with the Facebook feed we installed allowing staff to add daily updates without any training on how to edit the WordPress web page...

Why does Oast House Media use WordPress for website design?

Oast House Media have been building websites for nearly 20 years and since 2015 we’ve used the WordPress platform, but why? WordPress is FREE! So when you purchase a web design from OHM you’re not paying for any development costs, just the time it takes to put the pages and design together. WordPress is a ‘cloud’ based application enabling updating via the ‘dashboard’ editing pages anywhere in the world as long as you have a secure internet connection. You do not require ‘specialist’ software, WordPress plug-ins can be used to edit images (size) and design the page layout. WordPress is Google friendly, all pages and posts can be optimised to...

Double website commission for existing web design client

Earlier this year we completed the Florin Press website for Graham Williams, a Kent based bespoke printer and wood engravings designer. He must have impressed (no pun intended) as Graham requested a re-design of his personal website: grahamwilliams.co.uk and a new website for international acclaimed constructivist sculptor Naum Gabo: gabo.org.uk Both websites follow a similar simplistic theme using galleries to showcase the work. In the case of the Gabo site we also assisted with the web name purchase and on both sites re-created the logo for web use.

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...

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...
