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...

In my local town the competition is cut throat for barbers with a 300% increase in local salons. Add to that the increase in folk moving to the area and the changes in browser habits when searching, these local Deal based businesses must be available on-line. My barber for nearly 20 years recently opened a new traditional barbers shop in the centre of Deal which caters for the new look gentlemens hair and beard trim or as Steve puts it “old school trend setting barbershop in Deal“.
