Experience matters! Applebite Media brings 30 years of real world experience. Anyone remember Photoshop 2.0? Windows when it had a DOS menu? Technology has vastly changed over the years, some for the better, some not so good. In my opinion, the technology that was meant to lessen our load and save time has made us lose imagination and creativity. Not all, but a lot from what I see on-line these days. It seems we have taken an "Art" and made it a process. That is a shame.

Applebite Media is a humble business keeping expenses to a bare minimum so we can pass that savings along to our clients. If you are in Minneapolis, you know what rent's are here. Why should you pay for a company's fancy office for a service you can get just as good, or better, for less?

Security Alert!

WordPress accounted for 90 percent of all hacked CMS sites in 2018

Roughly 90 percent of all the hacked content management systems (CMSs) Sucuri investigated and helped fix in 2018 were WordPress sites. In a distant second, third, and fourth came Magento (4.6 percent), Joomla (4.3 percent), and Drupal (3.7 percent), according to a report the company published yesterday.

Please check out ZDNet, there are many good articles on security you should know when building and securing your web site.

We have seen companies like Target, Facebook and other major corporations get hacked.... Let's face it, if it can be built, it can be hacked. No matter what security you have, if someone wants your information badly enough, there will be someone smart enough to break it. So why increase your risk with software where the world has access to the code? With Applebite Media, the code we write is YOURS! Not open source that is distributed to anyone that wants it.

Our Web Service

Here at Applebite Media, we do most everything by hand. We do not use "FREE" software like Word Press, Joomla or any other blog or content management software to build your web presence. We do not use templates that are available to the world but make templates as unique as the site we build for you. Unless you have a franchise, don't you want your business to stand out above your competition? What we do use is a basic IDE for coding, the only 3rd party software we use for web design is "Bootstrap" for responsive grid layout, but again, we modify it to bend to our will, and Font Awesome for the little icons. That's it!

Our sites are "Dynamic", meaning, you can change or add content to your web site through an administrative web form. Just like the "free" web apps. Why pay a company to modify "FREE" software when you can have something as unique as you and your company. The price difference may not be that much. And isn't your business worth the little extra?

"Think outside the box or forever be confined by it."

In todays world, the competition is so much more, you owe it to yourself and your business to check ALL options before committing to or staying with a company that is not giving you 100% for the money you pay them.

Just 5 minutes of your time could save your 100.00's if not 1000.00's on your next or current project. Don't you owe it to yourself and your business to make such a small investment of time? You have nothing to lose!
