The importance of corporate website and print design

New businesses without the right tutelage can bungle through their ‘branding’ without realising the potential of professional corporate design. So what is corporate design? First consider where your branding is going to be used as this may affect the design, for example (in order of resolution/quality) Work wear (embroidery) 42 Website and Social media 72 Printing (stationery/flyers) 300 Large format printing (banners/signage) 300 Vinyl signage (lettering) vector As you can see there are figures at the end of each line indicting the lines or dots per inch plus vinyl cut vector signage which is the best quality you can achieve. Once identified you can progress to a logo design remembering...

treasured friends web design

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...

Print design for web clients

Our newsletters help us to let website design clients know we’re not just a one trick pony. Print design has been a core design skill for Oast House Media since it’s creation in 2004. Director Nigel Stevenson originally came from a print design background long before scientist Tim Berners-Lee created the world wide web. Indeed, it is those original skill sets that gives OHM the edge over other web based designers in Kent with extensive print production knowledge and an awareness of life outside the internet especially when it comes to logo design. Working with our local print and print finishing partners, OHM can offer the complete ‘one stop’ media...

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.

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...

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
