New roofer website, client is blown away

Renowned roofing have been clients for over six years and like many other client, and having read our regular website newsletter, decided to update their old web pages to a WordPress website design. Owner Ryan Holah gave us a simple brief – get on with it! So a like-for-like design using existing content (copy writing created by us) was commenced. The problem with the old site was imagery. So much had changed over the years and had very few good quality images archived so we suggested using supplier images. Quality images from suppliers We had to be careful and ensure copyright law was not compromised so we contact Renowned Roofing’s...

Hosting transfer IN, new client moves their existing website to OHM

We don’t just design websites, we also host our web pages and occasionally we receive a transfer ‘in’ request. Our dedicated London based servers are used to host 1000s of web pages for 100s of business. The vast majority are designed by us. Last month we received an inquiry from local Dover based taxi company Richard’s Taxis who’d been having ‘update and reply (sic) issues’ with their Middlesbrough based design company. After receiving the WordPress web pages and database it was a relatively simple ‘reload’ process. Now we have control over the pages we can add missing SEO and complete the updates the client had been waiting for. We will...

Sandwich events calendar website goes live

We’ve been looking after events in Sandwich for a few years now but with the new Google ‘mobile friendly’ responsive website design requirement it was time for the Sandwich Events volunteer team to refresh their successful and very popular events website. Thousands of visitors coming to Sandwich (Kent) every year and the majority using mobile devices to find out what is happening, a WordPress calendar plug-in was used to profile all local events. 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...

Fishy tail for new website design

The nice thing about being a website design company is the diversity of clients. Sandwich Lakes have been web clients of over 5 years and wanted to update their website to show off the fantastic fishing facilities on offer at their Ash premises. Apart from the ‘responsive’ WordPress web design, the web pages are easy to navigate on any device. This is particularly import as local fishermen will access important lake information using mobile phones, ie: lake charts, directions, news about recent catches, tackle shop prices and of course booking a peg! We’ve also upgraded the image gallery so the client can add photos from the waterside giving the fisherman...

harbour print new website design

Local signage company website design is not sticking around

Harbour print based in the old western docks rail station, Dover have been web clients for many years now. The original website was designed by owner Stuart Divito with a bit of guidance from us so all we had to do was convert his design files. The new WordPress ‘responsive’ design simply followed on from that design styel but the client wanted more imagery to view on the new web pages. 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. It’s always a pleasure to work with fellow design trades who understand the...

Spy in the cab website in the fast lane (update)

The tachograph has been euphemistically called the ‘the spy in the cab’ for years but did you know it was originally used on trains? The Daniel Tachometer was used on railways in 1844 and in 1985 tachographs were mandatory throughout the EEC for commercial trucks. I’m not saying that Faversham based Operator Compliance owner Clive Glaze has been specialising in Tachograph Analysis since 1844 but he certainly packs in the knowledge with over 20 years in the business. As an existing client we offered Clive a ‘like-for-like’ conversion to a Google mobile friendly ‘responsive’ website design last year (2015) through our regular client newsletters. With the transport trade mostly using...
