The studio

A personal business. Serious about yours.

KEATESMEDIA was founded by Harvey Keates, a business owner with a passion for building brands and websites.

TradeWeb began with a clear focus: websites for businesses in construction and the trades. Projects for a car dealership and a pub opened up a wider ambition.

KEATESMEDIA brings that work together, with the same personal interest in what makes each business different.

“I love building websites. The best part is helping someone bring their business to life.”
HKHarvey Keates — Founder, KEATESMEDIA
