We have supported and setup businesses in Hull with VoIP systems and now feel we should shout about it a bit more.

We have setup a division of Media Blocks Ltd called Hull VoIP and is aimed to serve Hull Businesses and to share this great technology with them. It doesn’t cost the earth that you would expect from a corporate telecoms service company and will shock you just how low cost/ versatile it is.

Give us a call to arrange a FREE demo trial to see how the system works. It’s very simple but in the other hand very powerful.

We can provide setup and support for VoIP, and would recommend it to any business. With our system you can have a land line telephone number any where in the world.

With the connection or telephone line been an internet connection as long as you have internet access you can make and take calls as if you were in the office.

Setting up and running doesn’t cost the earth and you’ll be amazed at just how flexible it is. Receive emails on your phone with voice mail you’ve missed, take and make calls at home as if you were in your office.

This is just a tip of what can be achieved and really needs a demo to fully understand and see what’s on offer.

For a demo and to be shown just how powerful VoIP with Media Blocks can be, contact us by email or phone 01482 240023.

Example here 

This feature is ideal for Restaurants, Guest Houses, Hotels, Schools, Estate Agents, New Build Developments and many more ideas.

Prices start from only £70 but can cost as little as £50  per tour when bought in batches. This adds a WOW factor to your website and in turn gets talked about and passed around in emails to peoples friends. Apart from looking good it really shows a lot more than a flat photograph and over time will be a valuable investment to your business.

We can create 3D tours outside builds, in gardens, in rooms, halls, corridors and also with people in the shot too.

Give us a call ( 01482 240023 ) or contact us for more information and book a shoot to add that special feature to your website.

Most companies will be aware of this, but since the 1st January 2007 it has been a legal requirement that certain information is made available or displayed on a companies web site and emails.

It is now required that Limited Companies are to include on web sites and all emails:
1. The Company Name in full
2. The Registered Office address
3. The Company number and disclosure of the country of registration, usually in the format “Registered in England; No. 123456789”.
This information is also required on Company websites. The new legislation brings emails and websites in line with the requirements for Company letter headings and other company stationery that might be sent out to customers or suppliers.

This is taken from the DTI web site:

LANGUAGES & TRADING DISCLOSURES REGULATIONS 2006

2.1 Do we have to put our registration details on emails?
If the email relates to the company’s business, then yes.

2.2 My organisation is made up of a number of subsidiary organisations. Do we have to put details of all subsidiaries on all websites?
It’s up to you. We know some groups are having a single page which links between all the parts of the group giving their registration details.

2.3 What are the consequences of non compliance?
If you do not comply you could be subject to a fine. The current fine is one fifth of the statutory maximum of £5000.

2.4 Do I have to put my VAT numbers and details on documents?
This is not required by the Companies Act. You may want to check the point with HM Revenue & Customs.

2.5 Do I have to put the details on every page of my website?
No, though it should be somewhere it can be easily found and read.

2.6 Does all this information have to go on my business card?
Not unless you want it to.

We have noticed that a lot of companies on the web are not currently complying with this requirement. ( And also need a web redesign )

With emails it is easy enough to add a signature to your mail client like Outlook or Outlook Express and would be automatically added each time you send an email.

If you have a website you need your web designer or us to up date your web site to make it compliant for a one-off fee. Just give us a call or email and we’ll sort it out for you.

Please do note: this is not legal advice, and anyone who is unsure about what you should do please seek independent legal advice.

For those who are interested, this is how an e-mail signature should look:

Your Company Name
E-mail: name@yourwebaddress.com
Tel: 01223 498765
Fax: 01223 498764
Website: www.company-url.com

Registered Office: Man House, old Lane, South Field, East Fromshire, FR15 2HU.
Registered as a company in England and Wales, number 3331234
VAT Registration Number: 666 0000 55

Access, copying, disclosure or re-use, in any way, of the information contained in this email and attachments by anyone other than the addressee(s) is unauthorised.

It’s very important once you have a website that you know whats happening with it. Who’s visiting it, where they are coming from, which days are busier, which pages attract more people and so on.

This can all be delivered to your email box weekly using our very cheap statistics package at only £12 per year to help you and Media Blocks understand the trends of your website. If you also take out a SEO package (starting at only £5 per month) with us we would use the statistics to tweak and optimise your website. This then hopefully would reflect in Search Engine ranking such as Google and we would be able to compare changes and rankings as a result.

We would set targets from your current state and try and improve on them for the next month. It can’t happen over night using natural SEO but is worth more than PPC (pay per click) methods.

Do you have plans for the New Year? You maybe would like a website building or your old one revamping.

Share your ideas with us and let us produce a graphical image of how it could look when complete. This can then be tweaked, fine tuned and perfected before we build your website as a fully working one.

This gives customers the ease and satisfaction of what to expect from their new website. As a graphic can be altered and manipulated easier than a fully working website this makes getting the right look for a customer cheaper, easier, quicker, and a lot less stressful for both parties.

This method is ideal for a fully bespoke website that needs to have that edge and presence on the web. We can also design logos and other marketing images on request.

Contact us for a meeting to discuss your New Year website plans.

Our £99 starter package with a free .uk domain for 2 years, free hosting for 1 year and email capabilities it is a better option. This can be added to in blocks at any time, add a contact form instead of just having your email address displayed.

We have noticed a lot of our clients who contact us are coming to the 3rd year with the Yellow Pages advertising and have lost the discounted rates they had received in years 1 and 2.

50% in year 1, 25% in year 2 and 10% in year 3 are the standard discounts from the Yellow Pages.

This brings the question for them “is it now worth it with no discount?” The cost of been listed can be anywhere from a few £100 to silly figures of £1000’s and is for only 1 year at a time. Customers are warming to wanting (or needing) an online presence with a website and are not impressed with seeing their competitors ranked high and dry above them. (As they don’t even have a website so they will)

So our £99 starter package with a free .uk domain for 2 years, free hosting for 1 year and email capabilities it is a better option. This can be added to in blocks at any time, add a contact form instead of just having your email address displayed.

Make that step and contact us today. Start a long term, low cost investment towards more business and new customers.

Back to main website> 

With every website project started with us you can have a FREE .uk domain and hosting for 1 whole year. Prices start at £99 for a starter website so theirs no excuse not to have a website for your company.
