The Open Source Difference
What is open source?
Open source software refers to free software for which the source code is released to the public. Anyone can use, edit or improve the software as they see fit.
How does it affect you?
Open source source software is freely distributed and often rivals the functionality of proprietary software. This means that it can be effectively used to replace more expensive packages.
Because proprietary software associated with design and production can be very expensive other studios may inflate their prices to cover this expense. Hydra Media, by contrast, extends the savings from it's open source philosophy on to it's customers.
This means cheaper media and professional design for a lower price.
Please feel free to contact us for more information about open source software.

Pricing Philosophy
Hydra Media aims to buck the trend of exorbitently priced advertising and media by providing work created exclusively with open source software.
All of our work is created from scratch to the exacting specifications of each client. This means that you never get anything you do not want with the added benefit of only paying for what you really need. In the last three months we've developed a modular package system that includes all requested work as well as useful optional extras, such as providing print media in PDF format for digital distribution.
Our philosophy surrounding pricing stems from a need for better and wider exposure for small to medium businesses. This includes services offered to all our clients at a fraction of the price charged by other studios that are usually only affordable to very large organisations.
Our dedication to our philosophy is unwavering and our belief in elevating the status of all our clients with our work has already yielded results.
