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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Hub Internet Media – The Beginning
I’d like to take a few blog posts to explain just how and why Hub Internet Media came to be. I think you guys would really enjoy reading how we came about, and the initial difficulties we faced. Maybe this will even inspire a few readers to start their own businesses up! Last year I became increasingly [...]
Celebrity Endorsement Is Not Always A Good Thing
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! I noticed that Range Rovers latest offering (the Evoque) is apparently receiving, or is going to receive some of it’s styling from a well known celebrity… Victoria Beckham. Why? I have no idea. And neither [...]
Are You Protected?
If you’re not an experienced PC user, the chances are you’ll have some form of anti-virus software installed. Hell, even if you ARE an experienced PC user, you’ll probably have some kind of anti-virus software installed. A lot of people buy a pre-built PC from a large store or online, and have it packed full of software [...]
The Big Redesign… Take Two!
As you may (or may not) remember, the Hub Internet Media Website underwent a major redesign earlier this year, updating our image and bringing our site in line with the quality of work that we offer to our clients. Never ones to be idle, we took stock of our website once again recently, and the [...]
