Clients often ask us about suppliers for various website related services. Because we work in these circles, we often come across them or have used them ourselves. The list below are just some suppliers that we think stand out in their field and suit our small to medium business clients. 

Important note. We have not tested all the suppliers listed here, so we cannot vouch for the quality of their product or service. We encourage you to do your own research and due diligence to ensure that these are the right suppliers for you.

Fine tuned over the years, Digital Masters is about a  small group of people, people who love what they do and have the tools to do it well. People who are as comfortable and understanding with 'first time' clients as they are with major corporates and old hands. With all clients it comes down to the same things - a complete grasp of the medium they work in, creativity and thinking that is 'outside the square', and good old fashioned honesty, service and value.

Video hosting

Zeald does not provide video hosting services, for two reasons; firstly the Zeald servers are not configured to give a satisfactory video playback performance.  Secondly the load that streaming video would put on the Zeald servers could compromise all Zeald sites. So it's best to use one of the options below:

YouTube

YouTube is the most well-known free video hosting company, which is owned by Google. You can upload video of any format and YouTube will convert the media. YouTube is also the second largest search engine behind Google.
Website. www.youtube.com

Vimeo

Vimeo is a video-sharing website on which users can upload, share and view videos. It makes an excellent alternative to Youtube. While it may not have as many followers as Youtube, its followers are very loyal with a "designer or indie film focus"

e-cast
