A beautiful new website for Beautiful Homes UK

A referral from our business partners GotopSEO, Deal based Beautiful Homes UK already had a website but there was a problem, it was a Wix website! OK, what’s the problem with a Wix website i hear you say? Well you can ask co-director Cian O’Hanlon, he built it. The age old problem with any of the cloud web template packages is the Google SEO, it sucks! Do not expect a ‘catch all’ design process like Wix to work with Google, no chance, Google is very selective about how it caches data from website, that’s why we built the Beautiful Homes UK website (and all other web clients) using WordPress.

Pet cremation website goes live

Sadly we all have to say goodbye to pets at sometime in our lives, a difficult time in any family especially with children parting with their much loved little buddies. Treasured Friends are one of Kent’s premier pet cremation companies and specialise in the care and sympathy required during this sad event. Owner Carl Bolton requested an easy to manage website design that could be updated by staff from their Thanet offices. With a WordPress site already in place but not fully accessible, it was just a case of replicating the design and using all the WordPress functionality that wasn’t available previously. Using our large portfolio of WordPress themes we...

New Chamber of Trade website goes live

Oast House Media have been working with Deal and Walmer Chamber of Trade for the past year, building a new database website for the membership. The new design uses the power of WordPress’s post page system, an easy to add/edit page creation area where the administrators can create bespoke page information for new members. There’s also an ad banner system installed and members can request additional content for their pages like image galleries and additional pages if required to create their own mini website. Each members post page is also fully optimised for Google and other search engines, making it one of Deal and Walmer’s premier business platform and a...

New website for Gillingham Electrical Wholesaler goes live

After a close call with Covid19, Priority Electrical owner Simon Fowler requested a quick re-design of their old website. Having prepared the ground with the previous overseas based design company, Oast House Media managed the web name transfer to a UK registrar and created a temporary holding page. With the site web page still not 100% complete, Simon asked to go live so he could let all his Medway. Kent customers know that they are still trading and open for business. This works well for the client with the Facebook feed we installed allowing staff to add daily updates without any training on how to edit the WordPress web page...

Why does Oast House Media use WordPress for website design?

Oast House Media have been building websites for nearly 20 years and since 2015 we’ve used the WordPress platform, but why? WordPress is FREE! So when you purchase a web design from OHM you’re not paying for any development costs, just the time it takes to put the pages and design together. WordPress is a ‘cloud’ based application enabling updating via the ‘dashboard’ editing pages anywhere in the world as long as you have a secure internet connection. You do not require ‘specialist’ software, WordPress plug-ins can be used to edit images (size) and design the page layout. WordPress is Google friendly, all pages and posts can be optimised to...

Double website commission for existing web design client

Earlier this year we completed the Florin Press website for Graham Williams, a Kent based bespoke printer and wood engravings designer. He must have impressed (no pun intended) as Graham requested a re-design of his personal website: grahamwilliams.co.uk and a new website for international acclaimed constructivist sculptor Naum Gabo: gabo.org.uk Both websites follow a similar simplistic theme using galleries to showcase the work. In the case of the Gabo site we also assisted with the web name purchase and on both sites re-created the logo for web use.

Fireplace shop in Deal, new web design

Oast House Media have worked with many new business start-ups over the years. The Firebox based in Deal, Kent sell and install Stoves and Fireplaces but were not sure how a website design would work for them and how they could keep it up to date. A brief meeting in their beautiful showrooms in Deal helped explain all about WordPress websites, logo conversion (OHM re-designed the logo), Google search engine optimisation and the free WordPress training we offer with all web designs. Having worked with other businesses in the fireplace trades, we knew images were going to be plentiful and very good quality so OHM recommended a gallery style web...

FireBox new web design coming soon

Firebox Kent are a new start-up business based in Deal, just down the road from Oast House Media. The new website is in progress and will go live later this month but to get the Google Bot interested we post these news blogs with a link to the holding page. We also updated their logo design for all media use, in this case without charge as it’s a font based design and took just a few minutes to complete. Long term this will save the client hours/£s of re-design work as we supply the original Ai file and export files for print, signage and web. With the new logo in...

Ian Barber & Associates Ltd requested a new web design

Whitstable based architects Ian Barber & Associates Ltd requested a new web design nearly three years ago, we immediately set-up a holding page but the team were too busy to complete sending draft material over to us, great news for Ian and the team! Last month we got the call to complete and honored the old ‘special offer’ pricing to deliver a web page design that can be edited and added to as more project information becomes available. Our WordPress website designs also come with FREE WordPress training here at Oast House Media enabling the Ian Barber & Associates Ltd to update the website pages, posts and galleries from their...
