Close shave for Deal based barbers new WordPress website design

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“. I’ve also enjoyed a wet shave using a traditional ‘cut throat’ and have to say it was a very relaxing experience. As you...

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...

The calendar used was a FREE plug in so all we had to do was set the basic events up and hand over to the client. A one hour training session was enough to get the team...

Having built up a large portfolio of work and many images of signage, printing and design this has been a very easy project to put together.
