Merry Christmas 2016

You may have seen our facebook posts on the Hale Multimedia Client Support Group or on our main facebook page, or maybe it was through Twitter that you first heard the news.  Maybe you still don't know what we are talking about...

(We've announced that we are no longer taking any NEW customers.) We had a goal in 1996 to help people expose their new websites on the internet, however, we found less than 10% even had a website!  Therefore, the journey began to help small business owners understand and take advantage of the affordability of a website.  Fast-Forward 20 years where it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with the hundreds of wonderful customers and friends around the globe in 3 countries and 25 States! Now that most businesses have a website (over 80% now), we think we can slow down and focus on the ones we have been blessed to serve.

We also understand that the level of service our customers receive is inversely proportional to the number of total clients we have.  That's a simple fact.  With more and more new clients every month, it takes away from the time we would like to spend with our existing customers and their projects.

That's WHY we have announced that we will not take on any new customers beyond Dec 31 2016 (that we are not already working with, or have worked with in the past).  We've decided to turn our focus from new business, to our existing customers. Existing customers can still ask for new projects, or improvements to their existing ones of course.

We will also turn our attention to our agricultural marketing services through Hale Broadcasting and AgMarketOnline.com where there are sponsorship packages that include a basic website, but the focus is on the radio and online exposure that our ag search engine and online radio programs have created.

Again, we are excited about turning our focus to our current customers, so please contact us if there is anything you need or have been thinking about!

Appreciatively and Gratefully,

MERRY CHRISTMAS
The Hale Family

Hale Broadcasting / Hale Multimedia Partnership

Hale Multimedia began in 1998 as Hale Broadcasting and Website Design before the official name change in 2004. From the beginning, our emphasis has been on two primary areas; radio broadcasting and website design, as the name implied. For the past twenty years, they have operated independently. Howard Hale handled the radio network and Brian & Andi Hale handled the website business. Entering his 80's, Howard continues to amaze us all with his ability to ask the right questions and then listen intently as his guests share their knowledge and experience with his loyal listeners on his 3 daily radio programs. Howard also loves to raise, train and sell quarterhorses in his spare time. The time has come for us to help with the radio network management and broadcast duties at Hale Broadcasting, so you will be hearing more of Brian on the radio. Our 3 daily radio programs are The Harvest Report, The Horseman's Corner and The Cattleman's Corner and can be heard anytime onl

How much does an average website cost?

Ah, the age-old question whose definitive answer has eluded us for over two decades, "How much does an average website cost?" Being from the computer programming world at the time when websites were first being created, this question has obviously come across my radar on numerous occasions. When I first started building websites, it was me asking the question. Now, after 20 years in the website business, I believe I have answered this question more times than the Army asked me my Social Security number (and that's a lot). It was 1996 and the popularity of the public web was growing rapidly with aol and yahoo leading the way. I worked for a small internet magazine in Oklahoma and had an idea for a website. My idea was to take a database of local businesses with websites and stick them into a searchable online website. I couldn't find a designer that could do what I wanted to do, let alone a cost estimate.  Thus began my journey to learn html, php and sql; the lang
