If you're a small business owner in the greater Boston area and you often wonder, "there has to be a better way," you're probably right. Problem is, how do you find a better way, and who is going to help you?

Option 1 Add an IT person to your staff. Do you have the cash flow or the workload to justify the overhead?

Option 2 Scour the web for an IT outfit. They'll likely want a sizeable front-loaded contract, and no telling whether they're a good "fit" for your growing business.

Option 3 Ask the neighbor's kid to take a look at your network--he took his Xbox apart and hacked into your wireless router, so he's got to know something, right?

(if option 3 seems appealing, please take a moment to note the contact button in the bottom right corner)

If your business happens to be a design firm, then you know it's even more complicated. In addition to basic networking and computer issues, daily chores may include digital illustration, cad drafting, and 3D modeling as well as the burden of having to deliver these files to clients, consultants and printers. Tackling these problems is our specialty.


The goal for Horne Visual Media is simple: to represent the best interests of your company, to solve the things we can and find the answers when we don't have them.

One major distinction separating us from most other IT outfits is this: we don't play it close to the vest. There is no secret formula to solving IT headaches, and there's no reason to hide the solution in a litany of mumbo-jumbo and geekspeak. If you want to know how a problem was solved (so you don't have to call us again on the matter) we will gladly show you how--and in plain English. It is far more important to give our clients every tool and shred of information they require than it is to hope for an extra service call down the road.

A partial list of our services:

- computer/workstation acquisitions and installations
- computer troubleshooting (hardware and software)
- network solutions, server maintenance
- component upgrades
- software recommendations (productivity, graphics, CAD-based, email clients, etc)

(The only thing we don't do is Macs...sorry!)
