There is something to be said for in-person meetings.

Businesses often pop in for a quick meeting or a short presentation, however once they get a taste of the facts and figures, and what should go on behind the scenes, they start to ask more and more questions, real life scenarios, then leave two or three hours later. Most even schedule a second meeting.

Had those meetings been online they would not have worked.

It also shows that those who care about their business are prepaired travel the extra mile, take time, ask questions, and then do things correctly the first time round. Rather than rush things and take the first or easiest option, then find out years down when their funds have been exhausted, things aren't working.

If you want to meet, just drop us a line.

What originally started out as a bit of fun has turned out to be some serious business.

This fun was getting websites top in the first search engines; Lycos, Alta Vista, Yahoo and DMOZ

Almost 30 years later, we have hundreds of clients who are first in Google and AI search, for their industry or product, some nationally and some for towns.

It is great to see and meet so many people; and to understand how products are made from start to finish. From the first enquiry, to the first piece of material, to the finished product in the shop and on to the website.

We first visited London Vents at their amazing factory in Croydon two years ago. Today, they are another of our clients who are first for key search terms.

Thank you to Michelle Perkins for hosting the first Spark Business Networking in South London yesterday.

Held at Trickle just across the road from East Croydon Station, only a few minutes from our office.

Spark is a lovely format of relaxing, chilling and chatting. No pressure to sell or make any referrals. Just friendly people and proper connection building while having a bite to eat. And I made a few new great connections.

The next South London one will be held in Beckenham.

Yesterday was our first networking event of 2026 and it was good.

Building Connections in South Ken had many well seasoned networkers from across London plus many more from across the UK and the globe.

Ewa give a short and amazing presentation on the power of photography for business, and we was blown away by the creativeness and opportunities it has generated.

Great to meet Clare Gillbanks, Michelle Perkins, Mariusz Zima, Paul Singh, Sharon Teasdale, Gina Cheng, Shawn Bond, Linda Lieberman plus so many more who are not on Linkedin.

Less than 0.001% of websites will reach the first page of Google

This is because web designers, agencies and hosting providers most commonly skip levels 2 and 5 on the SEO hierarchy.

Skipping any two major levels leave websites stuck in a loop of never getting anywhere visible to potential clients.

This is the point when businesses get frustrated and start spending thousands of pounds a year on poor practices and paid ads to compensate.

So - what should happen next?

The very best organisations usually employ a high-level web developer.

A good web developer is able to extract all of the bad code that blocks or limits searches (level 2), which can also impact on download speed (level 3), then finally aligns the website with all web standards and accessibility needs (level 5).

There are two ways they can go about this.

1. They may be able to upgrade the existing template and work through each of the issues. This is a lengthy, labour intensive process.

2. They can take the existing content and transfer it to a professional, SEO friendly website system, which then produces a top tier qualifying website.

There are pros and cons to each of these practices, with the outcome similar, provided each level is addressed on an equal basis.

At the forefront of the entire process should be short and long term goals, including how increasing each of these five levels translates into conversions.

If you are an organisation or business that feels you need to fit into the top tier, then get in contact with us. We are proud to have helped hundreds of businesses and organisations over nearly 30 years.

We will check your website as part of our initial analysis and let you know which method is likely to provide you with the best results.

Design Brothers 2025 Roundup

In January 2025 we moved from our lovely office at Norwood Junction to central Croydon.

After seven years in Bromley, followed by 14 years at Norwood Junction, our team had become very settled in their office.

Our last office had served us very well over many years, seeing over 10 staff come and go, retire or move away. Over 200 businesses and clients visited with a total of over 1,000 meetings, not to mention lockdowns, some of the team's weddings and passings, and lots and lots of birthday parties and celebrations.

Unfortunately our building's lease had become due for renewal so we decided it was time for a re-fresh and move, rather than enter in to a further long lease. After months of viewing close to 100 premises and serviced offices all over South London, deciding which features we did and didn’t like, we all created a short-list of our top 10. And TBXH Sunley House rose to the top.

Anyone who’s ever lived anywhere for a long period of time will not be amazed at how much we had accumulated in the 7 + 14 years...

We would like to say a huge thank you to all of the TBXH office team for all of our Christmas gifts.

We have been spoilt, with Christmas trees everywhere, a Christmas jumper party last Thursday and mince pies on another day.

Today their office Santa's and elf's brought everyone cakes and Prossecco.

We are looking forward to the big office building party tomorrow evening with more food, cake and drinks.

Design Brothers will then be ramping things up this Friday, our final working day of 2025, for our own staff office party and meal out at The Boulevard, South Croydon.

We hope you have an amazing Christmas and New Year!
