half moon and seven stars header

New website for old pub Facebook referral

Wix website owners may be interested in this; we had an inquiry via Facebook for a re-design of an old Wix website. The Half Moon and Seven Stars (Preston) business owner Dave Cullen was unhappy with access and the performance on Google SEO of his Wix design. On investigation it was clear that Wix had left several important ‘Google specific’ elements out of the old web pages and the owner was struggling to update his web pages. The new design using WordPress ticks all the boxes for Google so we expect halfmoonandsevenstars.com to improve with both client access (so they can update the web pages) and their Google SERPs (search...

disable right click copy

Protect your web content – disable right click

One of the big problems with website content (text and mages) is theft! It is all too easy to copy and paste from a web page to a document on your computer. For most this is not a malicious action, school project, personal message, social media for example. But in a few cases copying content from web pages is for commercial gain. OHM director Nigel Stevenson is also listed on Google as a Media Consultant using his website www.nigelstevenson.co.uk as a platform to showcase his media knowledge. Most of the content in his web pages are extracts from his book “On your marks” – a designers guide. ISBN 978-0-9926886-0-8. The...

ask web design scaffolders in kent

New website for Kent based Scaffolders

Another existing client referral, ASK scaffolding services are based in Thanet covering all of Kent. They specialise in residential, commercial and specialist scaffolding projects, something owner Tom Brown want to emphasise on his new WordPress website design. So, rather than bunch all the services on to one page, OHM suggested that the residential, commercial and specialist scaffolding sections have their own pages. This enables a greater scope for keyword phrase use thus enhancing Google search engine optimisation (SEO) requirements. OHM also contacted the logo designers and used their new design corporate colours in the style of the web pages, see holistic web design. As the client works on future scaffolding projects,...

Some are much harder to locate like the centre or large colour area jigsaw...

To help our loyal clients, we now offer a discounted re-theme (or re-skin) option and have already contacted the handful of clients that may have an issue in the future. [Updating a...
