Software, websites, marketing and video, near Tetbury

We build the thing you always said would be a good idea.

Bespoke software, business automation, websites that get found, and marketing you can read the numbers on. Eleven years of ecommerce and digital marketing behind it.

Four things we do

The quality of their work is outstanding and their attention to detail is second to none.Stephanie Briggs, Spring PR
What bespoke looks like

A client app built around one personal trainer's business.

Her programmes, her messages and her clients' food diaries, in one app on their phones instead of spread across WhatsApp, email and paper. Scroll through it.

The workout player: arm swing and side step, with the coach's own video and a Done button
Messages, each one tagged with the exercise it is about
The food diary, with a comment under each entry
Training buddies: Sam said nice one to your dog walk
A client app, built around one business

Every exercise comes with the coach's own video.

Press play, do it, tick it off. The programme she wrote, on the client's phone, with her showing each move rather than a stock clip. Shown with a demo client, not a real one.

Messages where the question is

A question sits on the exercise it is about.

No scrolling back through a WhatsApp thread to work out which set someone meant. The answer lands in the same place.

A diary the coach can read

What a client ate, when, with a comment underneath.

Photos stay private to the client and their coach. The kind of record that used to live in a notebook, or nowhere.

A bit of company

Clients who know each other see each other's sessions, and say nice one.

Only what was done, never weight or food. The nudge that keeps people going, built in rather than bolted on.

Shipped, not pitched

6 things we have built that are live now, with real people using them. The full record is on the Studio page.

Hyde Media Studio

Where we build our own things, and write up how it went.

The Studio is the part of Hyde Media that ships its own products and says what worked and what did not. Everything on the Shipped list came out of it. The write-ups live in the build log and go out on Substack.
