Your local community magazine
Community magazines hold a special place in towns like Ringwood, landing on doormats with the local news, events and businesses that bigger media overlooks. Focus Magazines wanted its website to carry that same neighbourly feel online, serving readers and the local advertisers who keep the pages turning.
We designed a friendly, easy-going site that works for both audiences. Readers can find the magazine and what it covers without fuss, while local businesses thinking about advertising get a clear picture of who the magazines reach and how to get involved. The tone stays warm and local throughout, just like the publication itself.
As with all our work, the site is mobile first, quick to load and built on SEO ready foundations, so people searching for their community magazine around Ringwood find Focus easily. We host and support the site from Poole, keeping the magazine’s online home reliably available.
A warm, approachable design that brings the community feel of the magazines to the web and serves readers and advertisers alike.
The site is built to be quick, responsive and simple to update, so it stays as current as the latest issue.
Fast, secure hosting from our Poole team keeps the website dependable month after month, with backups and support included.
