Did we tell you we also do graphic design?
Because we do! Hub Internet Media is now more actively pushing our range of graphic and stationary design products, and there is nothing we cannot do. Be it a redesign to bring a business’s branding up to date or stationary designed to match a business’s website, we can provide anything you want or need. There’s [...]
A sense of community
Web design is big business. There are a lot of companies offering similar services, and at times there can be a real struggle to stand out from the crowd and offer something different. You might know that you do the work for less, or offer better designs or features, but the key is persuading prospective [...]
Why we love small hosting companies
It’s really easy to go onto Google and search for hosting, finding the cheapest, easiest option and buying it without a second thought. Some companies offer truly fantastic prices, with promotions and discount codes giving you a years hosting for as little as 12p. You can’t argue with that price. It’s usually the bigger companies [...]
I’d like a quote for a website, please
Being asked for quotes is both good and bad. It’s good because someone is interested in the product you provide, and want to know how much it would be for you to create something for them. It’s bad because a quote is not that simple. It’s easy to just give out throwaway quotes that have [...]
Know your market
Yesterday I saw Intels new advertising campaign, and I have to admit that I wasn’t really all that impressed. It’s not because I have anything against the fine people at Intel, it’s more that the advert itself didn’t seem all that coherent. I’ve linked it above so you can see what I mean. Watch it, [...]
Captcha: good with spam
Yes, all right, I made a joke based off the fact that spam and Spam share the same name. I have no idea why that is, I’ve never bothered to research it, but what I do know is that I love Spam, and I hate spam. I know that I am not the only one [...]
Facebook for businesses
We’ve extolled the virtues of Twitter here on Hub Internet Media many times, but there’s another social platform that’s never really got a mention. That platform, as I’m sure you’ve guessed from the title, is Facebook. One of the things we love about Twitter is how simple it is, and how many people you can reach with [...]
Unethical SEO – do we really have a chance?
I decided to bust out Yahoo Site Explorer to check out the competition when it comes to the search term ‘web design’ in major search engines, Google, Bing etc. What I found was very shocking indeed. It seems methods of blackhat SEO are still ruling the roost when it comes to that all important first [...]
Content Management Systems are the future
We absolutely love CMS platforms. Our favourite is, of course, WordPress. It’s brilliantly supported, there are thousands of people making plugins and keeping them up to date, and WordPress itself is constantly being improved. It’s rare that you log in and don’t find some sort of update waiting for you, whether it’s just a news [...]
Don’t go changing on me
When you spend all day creating websites and designs, it’s very easy to get caught up in the moment. You find yourself looking at your own site and thinking “You know, I could easily make that better…”. Of course, that’s not a problem. Improving your website isn’t something to steer clear of, it’s something to [...]
