All TSBD websites are designed from scratch. No templates, even our own, are used. Certainly we have snippets of code that we have created and use in a modified form if appropriate, but for the design we start with a clean sheet.
Aiming for clean and intelligent design, we use best coding practices that ensure fast speeds and efficiency. We like to produce or give the impression of a graphic rich build that complements content but at all times we are optimising both graphics and code for speed.
You may not currently have a website and are asking yourself if you should. Well, you certainly don't have to but if you use data sheets or a brochure then an electronic version available on line is seen as almost mandatory in this day and age. In addition you may find your competitors have an edge on you simply because they do have an online presence.
There are many sites on the web that do not do their owners justice. This may be simply because the site has been neglected and no longer reflects the company for which is represents. It may also be a case of a site done on the cheap perhaps by a family member who "knows about computers" and has knocked something up in a simple design package. The simple truth here is - don't mess with your image. You wouldn't dream of releasing a brochure made up of cut and paste text and image photo copies
So, if you are looking to get on line or remodel your existing site just contact TSBD and we will be happy to advice you - no hard sell, no technical or marketing buzzwords or bull of any kind - just good advice regardless whether you go with us or not.
We make a point of learning what we can about your product and services and aim to gain a complete understanding of your organisation. This way we can produce a design with content that reflects exactly what you and your organisation are all about. We want you to be proud of your site as well as maintain a relationship with you.
Throughout the development of your website we will keep you informed of progress and give you advice on any queries you may have. We will encourage your feedback and ideas and we will not forget that it is you that is the expert in your field. Our expertise lies in taking "you" and creating an online representation.
Early on we will discuss your ongoing site requirements with regard to content updates. A content management system may well be worth considering but beware, many CMS's have been sold simply because of the higher cost they can command and not for the correct reasons and there can be drawbacks. However, where continuous updates are a feature of your on line presence then a CMS is a positive boon for keeping content fresh.
Webmaster costs have come in for some serious criticism of late for which there are many reasons. There is no need for excessive costs in maintaining a site as simple text or image updates cost little in time and, where hosting is part of the service, may not cost at all. (see opposite)
Our experience covers not only our own site construction projects but also a great deal of involvement writing code and producing graphics in the guise of ghostwriters. This work is for organisations that only have occasional need for web design to compliment their own design services or those in need of specialist coding skills.
We enjoy a very good reputation with a great deal of work being gained by recommendation and rather than end this text with corny doggie jokes like "being your best friend" etc' we would rather just say "thank you" to our clients and hope to count you amongst them in the future.
Site created for a specialist is the supply of natural stone flooring, worktops and furniture. Lots of info and images but quick to load.
TSBD offer website hosting for those clients who are starting from scratch or are dissatisfied with their current host.
Your account will be hosted on high end Linux servers connected to the Internet by a premium UK network, this combination gives you a fast and reliable service.
Our hosting packages are designed around your needs and are completely scalable. This is an additional service to our clients and not a core source of income to us and so is competitively priced. If you currently have a business hosting package that dates back some years it may be well worth your while comparing costs.
We offer free domain transfer* along with generous disk space, bandwidth and email facilities as well as a MySQL database as standard.
First time site owners hosting with us can take advantage of a free domain name and first year of Hosting. Our hosting costs include all setup tweaks and modifications to email accounts, sub domains etc' as well as minor site updates** - basically, we take of you. You are not on your own.
* Free domain transfer notes.
Some hosts still like to charge for this 5 minute job and we will try to talk sense to them. Please note however that in some cases we may have to pass any costs back to you.
** Definition of free site updates would include supplied text and image updates and similar. Obviously where we would need to produce additional pages, alter code and such like we would have to charge (sensibly) for such work. We are happy to become your webmaster for a reasonable monthly fee based upon your needs.
