About TQID

We are Mr & Mrs Anton and Josie Verstraete and we live with our three teenage children in the Cotwolds, UK. We met in 2001, when Anton had just been promoted to 'Web Developer' as he and IT Manager Richard Gascoigne had begun developing an entirely new website for Nuffield College, Oxford University. With assistance and scrupulous feedback from his (by then) wife Josie, Anton designed and developed the entire www.nuffield.ox.ac.uk multi-level and highly interactive website and a huge Intranet for College members and staff (not accessible to the general public).

Anton, who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis, began working from home in 2002 and 'went half-time' in 2005 as Internet Developer for Nuffield College. Throughout more than five years, Josie assisted him with the designing of various websites for Nuffield College (e.g. ChangeQual and the English/Arabic horizontally flipping CIVITAS) and of course developed her own Web Developer skills further and further. Josie registered as Self-Employed in 2002 and soon impressed one grateful client after the other with her websites. She showed a very keen eye for design and went on to develop a large portfolio of both static and dynamic websites, including some hugely successful E-Commerce websites in the PHP programming language.

Combined, that gives us many years experience in PHP and ASP.NET, while both of us are very familiar with JavaScript, CSS, and D(ynanic)HTML and, above all, very keen designers.

The TQID team members (as by now it's not just Josie and Anton anymore) work from home, as so many Internet Developers do nowadays.

Most of our 'business meetings' take place on the Internet, with different parties looking at (and working on) the same files simultaneously. This is proving to be a very efficient and time-saving way of working. With a microphone on each of our desks, we can discuss progress on our work at any time and with as many people as needed.

A bonus for our clients is of course the fact that we can be reached outside office hours (though we'd rather you didn't!).
