Search Engine Optimisation Oxford Strategic Management
Oxford Strategic Management deliver marketing strategies to high-profile clients from a broad range of industries.

Their web site, while attractive and on-message, was not generating high search engine rankings. This was because the web site was designed in Adobe Flash which cannot be read by search engines like Google.

The web site was re-implemented in a combination of HTML, CSS and Javascript to give it the same slick appearance that Flash enables while helping them to increase their site traffic.
