The most fantastic website you’ve ever seen is useless if nobody ever sees it.

The main goal of our customers is to get their product, site, or brand in front of as many of the right people as possible. To do that we look at a full range of potential routes; social media marketing, pay per click advertising, content marketing, email marketing, organic search engine optimising & whatever tools we feel best suite the task at hand. There’s no ‘one size fits all’ solution with Digital Marketing. All our plans are bespoke, created by researching the audience & the offering.

We manage SEO, social media accounts & ongoing email campaigns for our clients. Setting targets, goals, & tracking progress with detailed reports to clearly show where the wins are. If you let us, we can make marketing your business as painless as possible. Get in touch, we’ll chat through the options to make SEO less of an uncertainty, more of a target.

We wrote a nice post on this with a bunch more info on our approach to digital marketing, check it out over here

Trinity Theatre

Based inside the historic Holy Trinity Church building in Tunbridge wells, Trinity Theatre is an Arts Council supported venue. The auditorium plays host to theatre productions, comedy, cinema & dance, while the gallery, studio & bar handle events from exhibitions to corporate events. A new website needed to utilise the existing strong visual identity & build around it a clean website to host the full calendar of events in an easy access system with clear paths to book through either category or date. Integrating with the existing ticketing system was key to providing a simple online booking process & seamless launch. All information on productions is loaded into the ticketing system & automatically pulled into the website & loaded into the calendar, making back-end management of an ever changing calendar of events super simple. Colour coded categories bring the site to life & amplify the range of events hosted at the theatre, while an easily accessible dynamic calendar with month & list views allows for cleaner viewing when within an event category. The site is built in WordPress with a custom back-end built specifically for purpose.

Designing for SEO

Let’s not beat around the bush; web design and SEO have not exactly seen eye-to-eye over the decades. As creative UI designers, we always want to experiment with the nicest looking layouts, the fanciest transitions, quirky overlays and the latest technology. It’s in our nature. It’s also what we believe will make a brand really stand out. 

But sadly many of these awesome design features can create challenges for SEO – and what good are those awesome transitions if no-one is transitioning? No good, that’s what. 

Fortunately, amazing user experience and SEO have found themselves to be both a bit more middle wing these days which means less compromising.  Modern (and white hat) SEO is much more about creating amazing user experiences than it is keywords. Keywords still matter don’t get us wrong. But what’s also important is a website which is mobile-friendly, fast, relevant, engaging and super simple to use. Bring back the fancy transitions! 

We make sure we consider SEO when we design and build our websites. We combine the fancy stuff with the sensible stuff to create something truly awesome and discoverable.
