My work
Hello. I'm Mike Slater. I launched my business in 1995 and developed Seren Web in the late 1990's to run business websites.
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 and bespoke smart software for their business or creative project.
We have found that Seren Web 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 downloads 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 "cleaning oak" and position 2 for global search on "race arches", position 5 on "rocking horse restoration" etc
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.
