       VB Media has been built by our very experienced in-house dev team.
       
       And by built, we mean built - we hand-coded EVERYTHING!
       
       VB Media is not, like many similar services, built on WordPress. This has many advantages as we are in control of any issues that arise and are not susceptible to the security vulnerabilities that can come from not keeping WordPress updated or falling foul of things such as add-on deprecation or something termed as 'plug-in soup'.
