|
 The
service you receive from TWS is fast, professional and
accurate.
At all levels you deal with the same contact whether thats
design, development, billing, marketing or trouble shooting.
Issues are usually resolved on the spot, and the pro-active

which means that the service you receive in the future
will
get better and better. |
| Takeovers
& Aquisitions |
|
TWS
offer a takeover service for existing web design companies
that are looking for an exit. The service is suited to
small portfolios of possibly out of date brochure sites
currently
managed by home start ups, small print companies or computer
hardware firms etc where the idea of offering web design
as a service seemed like a good idea at the time but is
now unattractive.

| Market |
|
TWS
specialise in the industrial, technical and professional service
markets. The majority of clients from these sectors operate
high value projects with long lead times, but they still need
a web site that can promote new business although they generally
cant afford the inhouse resources to develop a web prescence
themselves. TWS not only develop their web prescence, but
they put them at the front of their field, often with impressive
results. |
| Design
For Performance |
|
Key
to the TWS approach to web design, management and promotion
is the concept of Design For Performance.
This is critical in the creation of a website that is going
to perform.
Once your requirements for performance have been determined
we then develop a basic structure that will optimise your
sites potential. This is focussed on Search Engine Optimisation,
but it also covers any other aspect that can be determined
from the start such as scalability, ease of updating and
management and general development. Because TWS follow
the principal of Design For Performance you
can be certain that your site will perform as you hoped.
This is in contrast
to many sites that might look good, but generate zero interest
and are impossible to develop and manage later on.
|
| Accountability |
|
The
TWS focus on Accountability means that
we can demonstrate and communicate the successful performance
of your site.
Or not. Our advanced counter system allows you to see in
concise detail how much traffic your site is getting, where
it is coming from and what they were looking for. If this
counter system could be magically attached to a typical
web site you would be able to see poor performance, but
because that's not possible you'll never know. The TWS
concept of Accountability means that we
can not only determine current performance but also identify
areas that need developing.
|
| Technology |
|
All
websites are created using the Macromedia Dreamweaver studio
suite which comprises of Dreamweaver for web site creation,
Photoshop CS2 & Fireworks for graphics development, Carrara
& Flash for dynamic animation and Freehand for vector based
graphic
development.
All
sites are build with php and Java supporting technology.
|
| Hosting |
|
Sites
that are hosted with TWS are hosted on shared servers with
a very reliable hosting provider with servers based in
Regus House in the Docklands, London. The service is based
on Cisco technology with network connectivity through Linx,
NewNet & Level(3) to N+1 standard. Network guaranteed uptime
is 100%. Using shared Supermicro Super Servers with quad
AMD Opterons operating with 8GB RAM, and 1400GB raid 10
hard disk space. Full data back ups are maintained at server
level and at a local level with both on and offsite tape
systems. Data security is taken very seriously with access
limited to senior level TWS staff and no data leaving the
premises.

| Background |
|
 Established
in 2002, TWS now has 5 years experience in the design
and development of web sites. As a sole trader, TWS has
established
itself as a dedicated resource suited to a tough market
where new business is few and far between. As a growing
company, much of its new business is through word of
mouth as web sites proove their worth. TWS operate a policy
of
continual development with new services and features
being introduced all the time. The TWS motto is, if you
can describe
it, we can build it.
This
web site has been designed around a number of images of
famous people, some you may not have heard of. TWS see
our heritage as a useful tool for moving forward. The industrial
revolution and the gold rush, two favorite eras for the
TWS staff were times of change and times of opportunity
which are only now easily described in hindsight. TWS believe
that the current period of change we are facing now, the
internet revolution, has direct parallels with the gold
rush and other great revolutions. The gold rush experienced
a very short boom whist 'placer' was easy to find, but
after 6 months all 'placer' gold from the river beds was
gone, the easy pickings, however, the miners continued
to arrive in the gold fields for the next 20 years. After
that first six months there was only the 'load' to mine,
the
gold
within
the
mountains. It was hard work but still many rich veins were
discovered and many a fortune made. As with the internet,
for companies such as TWS, the easy days of picking up
gold nuggets like Rolls Royce, Ford, Westland or Johnson
Matthey
are
gone,
but
there is
still plenty of 'load' left in the hills. Its hard work,
but its there. And theres gold enough for everyone. You
can read more about the Gold Rush on Google.
