Can AI Replace Everything? 😨

AI and generative AI can do everything from giving you content prompts, to answering questions and even generating images.

Although we believe that it does have genuine uses in the world, our opinion is that it is still not as beneficial as real human input in many cases.

Introducing Sustainabrum - utilising our Green Hosting & our Disaster Recovery Service 🌳

We launched a replacement website for Sustainabrum - a directory showcasing the extensive variety of sustainable businesses in Birmingham.

After their original website went offline and they were no longer able to reach their audience, we created the new site on WordPress, mimicking their previous website’s design, with CMS features to allow them to edit and manage content.

The star of the show is that the website is on our Green hosting - meaning that it runs on renewable energy 🌱

Helping our clients as a Google Workspace Reseller 📊

Google’s Business Starter plan provides adequate features and storage for most businesses, but 2EA required extra storage and the ability to have shared Google Drives. We moved them to the Google Workspace Business Standard plan, which offers more storage (2TB compared to 30GB) to allow them to store important documents and certificates for their customers on a shared drive that admins can access, manage and update.

Being on Google Workspace has allowed 2EA to grow their business and save time and energy by streamlining the collaboration process.

Migrating the 2EA website, along with all of its content and data, over to WordPress from the previous Ballyhoo Refresh platform.
