Gold Coast Media, the successful Devon SEO company, has recently been expanding their services to include web design, web development and performance optimisation. A natural progression, clients have been wanting this expansion to make services more inclusive.

The unique selling point here is that a proven search engine optimisation company has expanded into the field of devon web design and development, as opposed to a website design company “claiming” to know SEO. With that in mind Gold Coast Media provides an interesting and fresh approach to designing and developing websites. From the get-go good SEO practices are built in; things such as a solid navigation structure, clean and valid XHTML, canonicalisation, speed performance and more.

As well as hosting their own services to maximise performance with technologies from giants such as Google, they really do now provide a top class service that covers all the major areas of getting a website created, optimised and ranking well.

The Ardosia Slate Company is local to us and we visited it when looking for new slate floor tiles. What a little gem, anything that can be made from slate, they can do it. Not only is the slate of a really high quality, but it is also very reasonable compared to other slate products of the same quality. We are not talking about the cheap thin stuff that can snap in your hands, this is really high quality slate that is very durable, ideal for roof slates and slate flooring.  The other thing that makes this product unqiue is that it is sourced from a mine owned by the company, this is a black slate quarry in Brazil so the authenticity is guaranteed. As all of the slate comes from the same location, it is all of the same colourings and quality, we were very impressed with the finish and durability that they can achieve.

Not only did we but the slate slabs for our floor but we also picked up some really nice slate coasters for our dining room. They are contemporary and we had them cut to a specific size which was comparatively quite big, they weigh quite a lot but they are very impressive as  the finish is fantastic. The quality is so good that we are looking at some slate worktops for our new kitchen, the standard worktops are really nice byt they are not durable enough when you do a lot of cooking like we do, well worth a look.
