Peter Oxendale new website goes live

Nothing unusual for Peter Oxendale to go live, as an accomplished musician, record producer, arranger, conductor and programmer, he is now considered to be one of the world’s leading forensic musicologists. Peter contacted OHM last year requesting a new website but the business was very busy and had to be put on hold working around Peter’s legal commitments.

To complete we needed to find new images plus the client was purchasing new vehicles so we needed to convert images from a phone camera. We sourced free images from our online library, but we also contacted Dover DC marketing who also supplied copyright free imagery. There was also an issue with the logo as we didn’t have an original file...

Over the past few years SEO has...
