About

A personal business.Serious about yours.

KEATESMEDIA was founded by Harvey Keates, a business owner who loves building websites and helping other people develop their businesses.

It started with TradeWeb, a website brand made for construction and trade businesses. Working closely with owners in that industry made one thing obvious: most businesses are not short of ambition, they are short of a clear way to show what they do.

Projects for a car dealership and a village pub opened up a wider ambition. Different industries, different customers, the same problem to solve — make the business easy to understand, easy to trust and easy to contact.

KEATESMEDIA brings that work together under one brand. Running a business yourself changes how you design for one. It makes you think about the enquiry that arrives on a Sunday evening, the page someone reads before they call, and the parts of a website an owner actually needs to change.

Brands with presence. Websites with purpose.

“I love building websites. The best part is helping someone bring their business to life.”

Harvey Keates, Founder
