who is the best website designer in kent

Best web designers in Kent?

It’s not easy to gauge value when it comes to a service like web design is it? If you pop into Tescos to buy you favourite choccy bar and it’s cheaper than the corner shop, that’s better value. If you have a favourite tipple and it’s more expensive in the wine bar than your local pub but you prefer the ambiance? Is that good value, or are you balancing cost against an experience, so called ‘customer satisfaction’. Take this a step further and we find find ourselves indulging in some products (and services) that don’t just take us from A to B the quickest way, they also give enjoyment. The...

New server upgrades nearing completion

Over the past new months Oast House media have been working with their hosting support guys transferring websites to our new servers. Hopefully you wont notice a thing, so why do it? As with any ‘tech’, hosting systems are improving all the time. We estimate a new server upgrade is required every 5 years to keep on top and in line with industry requirements, ie: speed, security, maintenance, integration, back-ups (key issues that are continuously monitored). All of this and investment in new equipment/software is an ongoing process. We talk to our support team nearly every day and enjoy fantastic response times. If you have ever had cause to report...

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...
