WinterMedia - Media Processing, Internet and PC help
About us
Welcome to WinterMedia. We are a small family run business specializing in media processing (video and stills conversion and editing, audio processing and editing), Internet help (web site and Email hosting, design and even troubleshooting your home network and internet connection) and PC help (teaching, diagnosis of problems, repair of non-specialist problems). We can offer consultation to nail down your actual PC and network requirements, whether for home for for your business.
Please note that most of the "products" on our site show guidance prices only - your requirements are as individual as you are and we quote according to your actual needs. We do not offer "one size fits all" products - we don't want you to pay for more than you need out of a package, or have to pay for those "optional extras", which are in fact not optional for your needs.
What we do
Our skills can be found on the left - your requirements may span several of these; for example you may wish us to take audio tapes (where you hold the copyright), host snippets of them on your website as well as offer them as CD to anyone visitor to your site who wishes to purchase them.
Media Processing
We can digitize your audio and VHS cassettes and camcorder footage, improve the quality in some cases, edit them to your own creative specification and produce them onto CD and DVD. We offer some "no frills" solutions, so if all you want to do is make sure that you don't lose the memories, you won't be paying for extras that you don't need.
Whatever your audio/visual needs on whatever media, talk to us first!
Web site design, hosting and applications
We can provide as little or as much as you require for web hosting and design. Just want some web space with your own domain? No problem! Want us to design a site for you? Ok! Want a full interactive web site application? We can do it.
Web Applications
A Web Application is a generic term used for a number of new technologies (AJAX, Web 2.0, etc.), but in essence all it means is that a programmer can now make an Internet Browser behave like any other application running on the users computer, for a truely interactive task or function without the user having to install anything. Online shopping check-outs, booking availability, online rota systems, online file-sharing systems, word processing, web page creation using "What you see is what you get" technology, calendars, photo albums... the list goes on!! Why tell you this? If you have a requirement that could be fulfilled by this technology to provide your site visitors with an interactive experience, we can help you bring it to reality.
With our experience in deploying web site applications, we can also advise you on web site (and personal) security, take a look at your web application deployment and perform basic penetration testing. It's vital to protect your own and your customers data within your web site portal, and as many big companies are finding out many home-grown applications are particularly vulnerable to cross-site scripting, javascript and SQL injection attacks.
Home IT advice, maintenance, repair
Just as you would service your car or your heating system, home computers benefit from regular servicing to reduce the risk of sudden failure. At the very least, it's a good idea to perform a regular "spring clean" of your applications and files to ensure that your computer continues to work as fast as your first bought it.
Or maybe you just need someone to take a look at your PC, home network or Internet connection - maybe your PC has stopped recognizing CD's put in the drive or is behaving strangely. Maybe you just want someone to talk to about how to perform a particular task on your PC. We're always willing to help!
New service: WinterMedia can now provide data recovery for PC's - whether the cause is total computer failure, accidentally deleting files, partitions or even formatting your drive, we may be able to recover your lost files for you. Prices start from as little as £20!
Community Projects
WinterMedia believes in the value of community, and is providing services back to community in which we belong at significantly reduced rates. If you live in the Wilbrahams (or near-by) and run a volunteer based group or club then we may be able to help you, whatever your internet and media needs.
Examples of our Community Projects are:
- Christ Church Cambridge MOS
- Christ Church Cambridge Community
- Wilbrahams' Warbler
- Coming soon: Great Wilbraham PC
