Three webshops

Third Floor Design recently designed the interface for three webshops. The productlist is being maintained by our awardwinning CMS and payments take place though our secure and rock solid iDeal implementation among others. Check out the webshops using the links below:

Battery-online.com | Geheugen-online.com | Harddisk-online.com

Printed website?

Our website has been selected for print in the Web Design Index by Content.02 and we're proud of it! On page 191 our websites attracts the attention together with countless other examples of tasty webdesign and hopefully will inspire many.

Third goes first

Third Floor Design just went first floor. The climb is over! We moved offices to a luxurious studio in office centre 'Gilde' - near the towbridge at the downtown Eindhoven canal. Our new address: Breitnerstraat 10. One thing remains the same: all good things keep coming in threes! Please don't forget to update our new address and phone number.

Downloadhuis released

Fellownet and Third Floor Design cooperatively launched on a brand new (and legal) movie and music downloadsite: downloadhuis.nl. It offers DRM-free topmovies, music and software in a competetive pricing scheme. A vivid, interactive user-experience is being guaranteed by clever use of state of the art web 2.0 techniques. Besides that, we spend a lot of attention to usability and developping a low threshold in terms of online buying experience: the huge collection amusement content will be made available to the users desktop within three clicks. Feel free to take a look for yourself at the end of september when downloadhuis.nl will go online.

The web 2.0: hype

Terms like XHTML, CSS, AJAX and Ruby on Rails but also websites as Flickr, Google Adsense and Wikipedia are synonymous for web 2.0. But whats does web 2.0 mean for you? It almost sounds like a new dotcom hype. Not for us. At Third Floor Design web 2.0 stands for focus from static content to interactive websites in which useability stands central. Our CMS uses AJAX techniques that make sure that changes can be entered easier and faster. The internet becomes more and more a platform on its own with complete applications are written for. It is very important that these applications work no matter what operating system or browser your visitor uses. Third Floor Design always makes sure that websites and applications work on all browsers. It is the most important thing we can do to contribute to a success of web 2.0 and your website!

CMS without boundaries

  Our CMS (Content Management System) differs greatly from most commom solutions: adjusted to your content AND design we offer a custommade CMS. Other CMS solution s work the opposite way meaning the design needs to be adjusted to the limitations of the CMS. Besides that, most CMS solutions offer unused functionality that just sits in the way of efficiently managing your content. We limit our CMS to displaying nothing more but the needed functionality. Our CMS in a nutshell:

1. Modular: separate manageble parts
2. Scalable: add modules on the go
3. Clear: low learning curve, no unnecessary
4. Standards: our CMS genereates W3C code

Working with standards

Third Floor Design levert websites die er, ongeacht browser of platform, verzorgd uitzien. In de vertaalslag van ontwerp naar website wordt de opmaak gescheiden van de documentstructuur. We zetten hiervoor de laatste kennis op gebied van Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) volgens W3C specificatie. Uw voordelen zijn vervolgens:

 

• websites laden sneller;
• herbruikbare en gestructureerde data;
• sites zijn volledig browsercompatibel;
• zeer flexibel in layout;
• wijzigen erg makkelijk.

 

Het werken met standaarden maakt het dus allemaal een stuk eenvoudiger voor ons, maar goedkoper en tegelijk betrouwbaarder voor u.
