As an active member of the society, baby sleeping aids products, company director Nigel Stevenson also suggested that the new design used more image content and made the site easier and quicker to update. Using the WordPress web page design platform the new website now has an image gallery and blog post pages for the new season. Image content has increased by over 50% and of course the pages can be viewed on any device including the smaller smart phone screens without loss...

Always a great pleasure to work with home town (Deal, Kent) businesses, getting a commission from an award winning business is even sweeter!

Canterbury based tree surgeon John Barton has been a website design client for many years, he was in fact the first tree surgeon with a website back in the day. John’s advertising partners have been on at him for some time to go ‘mobile friendly’ and having read our monthly newsletter about responsive website design, he called and we got the conversion process going.

new website for local deal kent joiner

Craftsman’s website is cutting edge

Clive Harris is a well established local, Deal, Kent based carpenter/joiner. We built a basic little website for him about 5 years ago but with the recent Google mobile friendly requirements he needed to be mobile friendly. Construction trades are especially vulnerable if their websites are not Google mobile friendly as a lot of their new customer enquiries are from the public who on the whole use mobile devices like iPads, tablets and mobile phones to source suppliers (don’t we all). Clive’s new website conforms to all Googles latest requirements including SEO (search engine optimisation) so we expect Clive to get even busier over the next few months with new...

sandwich lakes new wordpress theme

WordPress website re-theme

We built the new Sandwich Lakes website earlier this year, see blog; but having reviewed the site a few months later the owner wanted to make more of their high quality image archive. The site, as it stood, was using a very WordPress theme but the content overlay structure took away the image impact. We did some research and suggested a new theme with virtually no home page text, what do you think? See website sandwichlakes.co.uk There’s one big issue that we also made the client aware of, not having content on the home page (Google’s first point of contact) may reduce SEO presence. There are many factors that make...
