We're open-source because it delivers results.We are open source developers. This not only means that we believe strongly in open source methodologies and ethics, our popular linkSpheric software is released under GPL as open source software and it's in use by webmasters around the world. We are avid Linux devotees. Mandrake is our favorite desktop distribution. In addition to being Mandrake contributors, we are active in open source software development projects such as OSCommerce and SugarCRM. This is the first thing that makes us unique in our area. We've done serious programming, database integration and business solutions, something our competitors come to us for help with. dataSpheric is serious about standards-compliant web software.Our work is 100% valid, XHTML-compliant code except where specific and overriding reasons exist to the contrary. Our code is perfect. Not many web development companies make that claim because not many can. All of our code is hand-written. We accept no code from WYSIWYG editors such as DreamWeaver, FrontPage or Golive. They all produce junk. The only shop to offer you a free t shirt if you can find a mistake.Go ahead and click on the validator image on any page in this site and it will come back as 100% valid XHTML 1.0. Now check the style sheets. Find one that doesn't validate and we'll give you a free t-shirt. Now try that on any one of our competitor's sites and see what comes back. Run a link validator on our site. No broken links. The work ethic is perfection. This is what gets you results.Look at our page weight and our code to content ratio. Our web pages are designed to be lightweight and power packed. Search engines favor our sites highly. Our CSS techniques also allow for quick and efficient markup. Our websites can be "reskinned", that is redesigned to have a whole new appearance easier than any other technique. Our XML compliant websites are readable on PDAs, hand held devices. dataSpheric websites are also are W3C 508 compliant as well as WAI-A WCAG 3.0 compliant. This means that our websites are accessible to persons with disabilities such as speech-reader devices used by blind persons to access the internet. Everyone else is selling decade-old product. We sell tomorrow's product.And if you think the cheap guy can make more money, improve efficiency, acquire more customers or retain your existing customers better than we can, all we can say is that we told you it would hurt. |
