About Me/Philosophy
Mark Waterhouse
Producer: Video, Multimedia, Web Design
With over 30 years experience in the Media Industry, I have had numerous experiences from filming Punk Bands to Folk Rock, producing Corporate/Non Profit promotional videos, producing examination materials, Weddings/Funerals. Producing retail DVD products, Aeroplanes, Trains (Steam and Deltics) and Nostalgia(Bygone Films) and a host of Educational Projects (My favourite). Was at the forefront of Web TV( Doncaster.TV), before Youtube became the ‘Byword’… and all points in between.
I encourage the people I work with, to pick up the phone, or email me, and not fear that the ‘clock is ticking’, and a nasty bill winging its way to them afterwards, and hopefully they will reciprocate by turning these initial enquiries into paid work.
I have always cast myself as a solutions provider, particularly if it Media related. In an industry where technology and trends change all too frequently. I also pride myself on knowing my limitations, if your requirements are beyond my skill level, hopefully I can point you in the direction of someone who can.
WHY WORDPRESS
The best part about WordPress is that it’s easy to use and flexible enough for just about anything. That’s the main reason why WordPress has grown so much in popularity. According to a recent survey, WordPress powers 22.5% of all websites on the internet.
Due to it’s robust features, many of the top brands use WordPress to power their websites including but not limited to: Time Magazine, Google, Facebook, Sony, Disney, LinkedIn, The New York Times, CNN, eBay, and more.
It is also portable, if you decide to host it elsewhere, move to another Web Designer or fancy running it your self, then WordPress allows this.
.
HOSTING
The bulk of Web Hosting providers offer dedicated WordPress Hosting at very reasonable prices. I provide these at costs. You should expect to pay no more than £10.00 per month for this service, and you are the sole owner of the Hosting Package. Many web designers use these packages and do so on a shared basis, buying a typical hosting package, which has the ability to host an unlimited number of websites.
If you decide to have someone else manage your website , or you want to do this yourself, the response you are likely to get is ‘Unfortunately I cannot give out the information for you to access your details as it is within our shared hosting platform’.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
In addition to website creation, WMS, can offer Photography,Video, and Animation Services.
You may already have images, photographs and video clips to populate the contents on your site. If not, the extended team have the facilities to provide these. Adopting the least costs principal, where possible free material will be sourced for inclusion in your website. Copyright clearance will be sourced for all material used. If material has to be purchased, image stock etc, these will provided at costs, and copyright clearance/licences etc will be registered in the purchasers name.
Nuts and Bolts

I see a lot of this listed on websites, however once you make an enquiry it is usually followed by ‘we will get back to you as soon as possible’, however sleep time and weekends are required to re energies my batteries, so that I can continue to provide you with a first class service.
Do you own your Domain Name..
Your Domain Name is an important asset for your company, and it should be registered in your/company name. Sadly this is not always the case.
How to check, go to ‘Domain Tools‘ website, it’s a free service, enter your website address. Scroll down to the;’ Whois Record’ and look for the following,
Registry Registrant ID:
Registrant Name: Your name
Registrant Organization: Your business
Registrant Street: Your address
Registrant City: Your Town/city
If this doesn’t show your name and your details, it is probably registered in the name of the person/company who set up your website. get onto them and tell them to change the details from their’s to yours.
If you encounter any problems with this, contact me and I will advise you of your options to correct this.
