Tincan-communications is a collective of designers and developers and is operated by Tom Adams a website editor, manager and developer with ten years experience in the business.
Tom started off working as an online journalist in the video games industry, where he was required to go to far-off places to play with things and occasionally write about it. Then he spent four years as a travel guides editor, when he didn't travel as much as you might think. He did continue to play a lot of games though.
Tom has worked in varying degrees and under titles such as web editor, content manager, developer and content producer for UK Government organisations, as well as LBC Camden, the European Commission and various other public bodies. He can write, design and develop. Tincan's regular contributors and associates have worked in both private and public sector as editors, programmers and designers.
Tincan-communications specialises in websites for small to medium sized companies and individuals, including e-commerce and database driven sites. We offer design, hosting and full content services. We are experts in content provision for online and digital projects - particularly information architecture, accessibility, usability, SEO and general editing for web.
Tincan-communications also designs and develops sites. Our designers have worked for major companies in on and offline campaigns, with clients such as Cadbury's, Sony, BT and Volkswagen on their portfolios. In development we prefer to work with open-source technologies including PHP and MySQL and can offer expertise in CSS, XML and most major programming languages. We have worked with many of the industry standard CMSs including RedDot, SilverStripe, Drupal and Joomla.
Tincan-communications really doesn't think that good quality web design and development should cost the earth (if you look carefully, even our logo is made from recycled tins). We also believe that owning a website means you should own it, which means our standard websites all feature the SilverStripe Content Management System, which allows you, the client, to edit your site yourself, so there's no coming back to us when you want to tweak anything... Unless you want to of course, in which case you're welcome to ask us about our content management packages...
Tincan-communications is based in Barnes, South West London and has outposts in Manchester, up North and Dumfries in Scotland.
