Occasionally we are commissioned to design (or re-design) company logos for Kent businesses, in fact this month (October 2021) we’ve created 3 designs. 2 were part of website design projects, but the Shelly’s Tea Rooms was a logo re-design only project. The usual problem with logos are the original design has been lost or not supplied, especially with established businesses, for example: the original is not digital (old style paper artwork) the master file was not supplied to the customer (they only received the non-editable export files like JPG/PNG/GIF/TIFF/PDF files) the files have been lost the owner purchased the business and the previous owner failed to supply the master file...

How to go top of Google in 24hrs

Big claim but very realistic if you know how Google works and how to focus keyword phrases. Last week (22-1-21) we issued a news blog about ‘Holistic WordPress web designers‘. This week (25-1-21) the news blog is page 1 on Google (see screen sample).
