Keeping up with web design trends

To keep on top of the game you need to be constantly moving with new developments and design trends. It can become overwhelming at times. I’m going ot list the best [...]
Move it or lose it!
Anyone with regularly updated websites will tell you that the need to backup your data is very, very important. Technology is fickle, and every now and then part of it will decide that it longer wants to run without any problems and take itself either offline, or off the mortal coil completely. As I found [...]
The importance of quality hosting
For websites to appear on the Internet they need to be hosted. What we mean by this is a computer specifically designed for web hosting has to project the files into the digital space. These hosting machines need to be online 24/7 365 days per year. Being a web development company our main priorities are to cater for the digital online [...]

It look’s like we’ve gone into marketing analysis overdrive here at Hub Internet Media, I know, but you can blame Tom for that!

And neither [...]
Adverts That Made You Think (Or Jump)
After Tom drew my attention to the new ADT campaign, I started thinking about other advertising campaigns that have made a big impact on marketing and the world in general.
