Glasgow's Charing Cross has been our home since we started in 2004. But, on 1st December we made the bold move into the City Centre, to Osborne Street on the outskirts of the Merchant City. So, why move? Well, our company and team has grown and so we needed a bigger box in which to work and play. Previously we were on two floors of a town house - beautiful but not as well connecte...

At last, we're in our new studio in Glasgow's Merchant City. Our new address (please note) is now Screenmedia, 4th Floor, 60 Osborne Street, Glasgow, G1 5HQ. Our telephone number is 0141 552 3112. We say at last because, the past few weeks at Screenmedia have been packed full of bubble wrap, furniture, boxes and vans plus endless trips up and down the 4 flights of stairs - we're all poop...

Jon's visit to the Umbraco UK Festival was a fantastic opportunity for Screenmedia to get further exposure to the latest version of Umbraco 5. Now in public Alpha 3, Umbraco 5 is really shaping up to be a great addition to the Umbraco toolkit. Started from a blank canvas, the Umbraco HQ team has been working flat out on architecting and developing this new asp.net mvc 3 based version of Um...

The excitement is building up around our big move. Last week we finally reached a breaking point and there was no other option except to visit our new home. So we set out, plans in hand, to the Merchant City, to King Street, through the builders' entrance on King Street, up four flights of stairs (we don't trust the lifts yet) and into our newly fitted out studio space. Wow! For some of ...

We're extremely proud with the all new Glasgow School of Art website that went live last week. In an ambitious project, that saw the complete redevelopment of the art school's digital presence, we teamed up with our long time partners ISO to deliver state of the art design, programming, Umbraco content management and much more besides. The art school wanted to create a contemporary new w...

It's not long now until the big van comes to move us to our new studio in Glasgow's Merchant City. We're understandably excited about relocating to a new, custom designed, studio in King Street, not least because it will give us 2,500 square feet of much needed open plan space; we've hired 8 new staff already this year and our mobile division continues to grow. Our new offices will be on...

Do you know what percentage of your traffic comes from mobile devices? Do you know whether you should be developing a mobile website or a mobile app? If you don't you're not alone, the mobile landscape is still a grey area for many. But, as the number of Smartphone and Tablet users continues to grow (and predictions state that mobile web browsing will overtake traditional web browsing as e...

Most companies maintain and update their website using a Content Management System. But most CMS solutions are presently limited to desktop web.

Clearly not, and that's why we developed Screenmedia Reach™; a CMS ...
