The TBS Difference

As a web development agency our approach is about openness and flexibility. We keep up with latest trends and technologies, so we will always be looking for innovative solutions for you. But more importantly we will recommend the most appropriate solution, by working with you to analyse and understand your requirements in full.

Likewise, we always try to be the voice of your users. By being your customer's advocate in this way, we make sure the solutions we build are by design good for business.

We also understand your requirements will change and evolve. TBS will always try to take these on board and find ways of adapting to your needs.

TBS believes in transparency. We will not hide our code from you, or try to lock you into our systems. We don't use just one solution for all clients. Our developers don't talk jargon. We will always communicate with you in a way you can understand, that makes sense in terms of your business.

Our development work broadly spans these areas:

• Web site architecture, development and build
• Open Source CMS Installation, integration and customisation
• Web applications development - eg. news and press releases, careers, booking systems, tell-a-friend, user-registration and many others
• Social networking applications - eg. blogs, forums, ratings and reviews, and other user-generated content
• Bespoke CMS application modules and plug-ins
• Web analytics integration
• SEO implementation
• E-commerce solutions
• Web site hosting

TBS uses toolkits and frameworks that comply with rigorous open web standards. These range from W3C standards for code presentation and accessibility, to the use of the SOAP and XML-RPC protocols.

This ensures compliance with appropriate accessibility legislation and best practice, optimised user experience, and interoperability between the sites we deliver and existing business applications.

Open Source is our preferred approach, but we are proficient in other technologies. Our expertise ranges from PHP right through to .NET and Java. Here is a summary of our technical profile and capabilities.

• System design using Object-oriented business logic
• PHP, Ruby and Java scripting
• MySQL database design and development
• Flash and AJAX implementation
• XHTML and CSS validated as W3C-compliant
• API integration
• Automated testing
• Subversion (SVN) version control
