The Strand Wine Company website in Deal and Sandwich Kent

Off License website redesign goes live

Popular ‘offy’ The Stand based in Sandwich and Walmer in Kent have been long term web clients. Having read my many News Letters, owners Tess and Glen asked for a consultation, where else? down the pub! It was a really interesting meeting because being in the trade they know not only the brands and types of drink, but what is trending: ie Jägerbombs out, Gin is in! When you talk to the experts you can begin to understand the trade and what makes it work well for you. The old website was about five years old so well overdue a makeover and a great opportunity to refresh content. Surprisingly i...

New WordPress website design for Dover Taxi company

We took over a 3rd party WordPress website design for Richards Taxis Dover last year so the client was already familiar with the WordPress editing platform and how WordPress works, but the design was old and a bit tired so the client asked us to re-design the web pages. 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...

East Kent based wedding video company – new website design

The wedding trades in Kent are a great bunch of guys to design websites for, they call them ‘the wedding mafia’ because they work in packs, hunting down that elusive prey – the loving couple!   Why are they a great bunch to work for?

new website for seo company in kent

New SEO website and business partners

SEO is the second most important element of a web page. It’s a generalisation because SEO (search engine optimisation) covers many on and off page attributes. Here at Oast House Media we’ve realised for some time that delivering a nice web page design is not enough and to expect a website with basic page content and links to achieve a Google page one position is pie in the sky. Websites need SEO and lots of it, stop smoking products, not only to get onto page one and stay there – but because everyone else on page one is also optimising their web pages. Over the past few years SEO has...
