Website Management

Mike Slater OK

Hello. I'm Mike Slater. I launched my business in 1995 and developed *Seren Web to run dynamic websites and software application.

I have been programming computers since 1982 when my father bought a Dragon 32 home computer with 32kB hard storage - that's not quite enough hard disk storage these days to display this web page. Now I specialise in offering clients the best possible websites for their business or creative project.

Recent Web Projects

In a time of change, I am working with clients to adapt their online business to enhance new ways of small business SME trading.

This month we have helped relaunch accommodation website for Goetre Holiday Cottages after their previous website went dark when their previous supplier went AWOL

Since 2000

Since 2000, I have managed, designed and developed websites and applications for business owners, sole traders, charities and creative people. Running our own web servers for clients, I believe that we can offer a friendly, effective service to create a successful, safe online presence for you.

The business has been trading continuously since 1st July 1995 and running web servers every day since 1st March 2000.

We have found that Mike tries to understand our business and is sympathetic to our very specific requests... which is something that is very important to us as owners and operators of our businesses.

Our websites are fast

No-one has much patience online so we make sure our web servers are very responsive and we code client websites to be extremely fast. On good connections, our average client website currently download in:

2.56 seconds

Fully responsive websites

All client websites we manage are fully "screen responsive" on all devices. Screen responsive means webpages using the same online address whether they are on desktop or mobile, but "respond" according to the screen size of the device. This ensures our client sites can be viewed easily on everything from the smallest phone to large TV screens.

"Search ready" websites

There is no "secret" to search engine positioning;
1. Host your site on fast web servers with all the latest software updates
2. Use responsive design
3. "Content is King" and make sure you have relevant content
4. Encourage some high-quality inbound links from websites already well positioned on the search engines
5. Use social network platforms to promote your "brand" and
6. Work on page titles and descriptions.

We help all our clients in building a good search position. Some examples (among many) include position 1 on global search for "glass eyes", position 1 for "budapest property rentals" and position 6 for global search on "race arches", position 7 on "native american gifts" etc

Purley Language College We are really pleased with the service Seren Web offers. Mike has succeeded in getting us on the top page on Google (we were around page 25 before). This has had a positive effect on our revenues. We are extremely happy we chose to work with Seren Web.
