Tower Interactive

Website Design and Development


The Tower web development platform is the result of over six years of development and refinement. As a result, Tower can rapidly deploy custom built web applications combining the robust design and security of a proven architecture with the flexibility that comes from in house development. As all of our technology is based around open standards, you retain maximum flexibility.

Cross Platform
Our customers run our solutions on the operating system of their choice. Tower recommend either Microsoft Windows 2003 Server or any Unix or Linux based platform. Some customers opt for the speed and ease of use of the MySQL DBMS, others prefer the scalability of Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. Whatever your IT strategy, we will work to provide the solution that works best for you.

Standards Compliant
To reach the largest possible audience, we develop standards compliant content based on XHTML and CSS. We test our systems on Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox/Mozilla, Opera and Safari.

Accessible

The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect
- Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide Web

With the maturing of the web as a platform, it is now feasible to provide content that can be accessed by a much broader community. By using a standards compliant approach you retain the ability to present your website effectively without compromising access to blind or visually impaired users.

Internationalised
All of our systems use UNICODE as the default encoding. With our content management system, you can publish in as many languages as you like. Users can change their view of your site with a single click. Administrators can easily manage your site in as many languages as they like.

A Safe Investment
With Tower Interactive, your investment is maximally protected through our use of cross platform, open standards technologies. For our customers, this means that our solutions can adapt as they face new challenges. We believe that not locking our customers in, has been key to the success of Tower and of our customers.
