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.

Poodle parlour website re-design continues the shaggy dog tale

We love dogs so working with Tom and Denis on their third website design in nearly 10 years was a great pleasure and an endorsement of our long term partnership with one of Kent’s top dog grooming salons. Presentation is everything in this trade so the new dog grooming website had to reflect the very high standards set by the Your Dog team. The most important feature apart from the continued SEO success was the mobile friendly requirement. Tom and Denis had identified that the majority of new inquiries come from customers using a mobile device. This is a trend reflected in the vast majority of local and national modafinil...
