TOUR and introduction
Owens-Media began as a spin-off on the much successful CMA partnership, it's self a Liverpool website design and new media concern.
CMA being a partnership, OM is a proprietorship with all contracts and design portfolio the responsibility of Mr. T. Owens and staff directly.
Website design is a broad field and you may have heard it described as both design and elsewhere development. Design generally deals with simpler website that have their look and feel as their main promotional elements where as developers will concentrate on complex back end, which are parts of a website that allow it to do things such as store data or perform never before done functions.
A more accurate reason for the distinction though is the use of software. Certain software with which websites are developed have come to dominate the market. Software such as PHP has little design property but can do really dynamic stuff when it comes to manipulating data. Javascript has great properties to do birth but pales to Flash when it come to visual prowess and seamless animation. Also the very simple to use various image editing software can be used to create stunning visual effects that do not in most cases require improvement.
Because of this, areas of expertise and training of various persons involved, the specialities are fixed.
OM does both of these specialising in both PHP and Flash so incorporating the best of all fields. There is no limit to what OM can do, pushing the boundaries of what has been done before.
-----
OM has concerns in web property that is the are of internet business concerned with websites owned and operated by OM that's generates income from it's users activities such as advertisements.
OM does this under the banner of ONS which again is the proprietorship of Mr. T. Owens under the umbrella company of Think Digital.

The name of IDev Interactive is derived from Internet Development, and not to be confused with the sometimes rendering of Interface Developer.
Whilst operating as Owens Media, the limited company of Owens Incorporated Limited came into formation in February 2009. This remains the parent company of IDevinteractive.
