cj gray builders in deal new website design

Local builders website design built to last

CJ Gray have been building houses in Deal for longer than the web has been around so it was important that Oast House Media built a website that can last and is future proof. From the start the owners wanted an easy to update website so they could add project images for their recent work. We achieved all this with the WordPress platform which automatically keeps up to date with all the latest web requirement and an easy to use Gallery Building app The sample below is the thumbnail view that showcases a recent building project in Deal. The office staff received a set of images from one of the...

WordPress website training update

Here at Oast House Media we’ve seen an increase in WordPress web design training requests since the Covid 19 pandemic started. Mostly existing clients either requesting a refresh, or taking advantage of the free training session we offer with every new web design. With restrictions in place we use peer to peer on-line training which has proved to be very popular. The client stays in the office and we take over their screen and walk them around the WordPress Dashboard. It takes on average just 30 minutes for a refresh, up to an hour for new clients. A typical training session will include: Dashboard overview Page and post edting Adding...

Training goes peer to peer

It would appear that peer to peer is very appealing! As we continue to design and launch new websites through the lock-down period, training the client on how to update their new websites had to go on-line. In the past we’ve either go to the clients offices or they come to OHM. Restriction forced the change and it worked brilliantly. We miss the cup of tea and chat but peer to peer is the way to go and OHM will be on-line instructors in the future. How does it work? Using dedicated software, the client downloads a designated peer to peer program, launches then issues the ID and password, OHM...

sightcall opticians web design training

WordPress refresher training on-line

Last month we completed another WordPress training session but this time it was for an existing client who’d already had WordPress training. With Covid19 keeping everyone in lock-down we understand that many clients would like to take advantage of the spare time and update their WordPress websites. For the lock-down period, Oast House Media are offering FREE on-line WordPress training*. First up was Joe Kidd from Kent based mobile opticians Sightcall. Joe’s in South East London and self isolating with his family, however as WordPress is a cloud based application he could log-into his Dashboard from home and we accessed Joe’s device using remote access software and walked him through...

Covid 19, an opportunity not to be missed?

Firstly, can we wish you well for the coming weeks. Covid 19 is biting deep into businesses as we see many of our clients forced to close their operations after BoJo’s statement last night (23-3-20). I think we can all see that long term it’s for the good but what are the advantages of a business lock down? The good news, your website will carry on working for you 24/7, enquiries may dry up for a while but Google will carry on checking your pages and re-caching content. Experts predict a big trend towards on-line sales as more people are forced to use websites to purchase items. The fall out...

eythorne building new website

Local builder helps build website!

Local builder Eythorne Building Contractors based near Dover requested a re-design of their old web pages earlier in the year. Oast House Media developed the new WordPress website to a base stage and then with WordPress training, handed it over to their staff. Working with very little assistance from us they managed to compete a very respectable design adding galleries, posts and creating new pages. see website: ebc-ltd.co.uk

Cathedral Electrical new website switches on

Having endured years of poor design service from another design company, Cathedral Electrical were desperate not only to re-design their web presence but gain access to web pages so that they could update content themselves. Yesterday we completed free WordPress training with the owners after going live with the new website last week, the client can now take control of the web page content and no longer waiting for weeks to edit critical data. Oast House media also assisted with the logo re-design and supplied free trade images to enhance the visual impact. see website: cathedralelectrical.co.uk
