TXP Builders launched
Although many of you TXP Tips fans may already know about TXP Builders from the forum thread, I’d like to post a note about the launch of our little venture here, especially since its so personal to me.
TXP Builders consists of a team of Textpattern web designers and developers who have come together to work collaboratively on projects that require a range of skills. We think that working as a team speeds up development, improves the end product through progressive review and most important: its much more fun to work as a group than alone.
Who we are
Maybe you know us already: Jonathan Stubbs, Julián Landerreche, Stef Dawson and Julian Reisenberger – otherwise known as jstubbs, maniquí, Bloke and jakob from the forums.
What we do
Mostly web development on Textpattern but also custom plugin development, graphic design, illustration, branding and printed material.
How it all started
The idea was born in September 2009 in part to offer a complete Textpattern development service but also in response to an inability to hire a developer to help me produce a site. Having been frustrated several times with various developers, I thought it was time to do try and solve the problem by teaming up with other developers from a range of disciplines. If you have ever (like me) tried to get pay someone to help develop a site and failed, you’ll know what I mean.
From an email to the first member of the team back on the 17th September 2009:
I can’t believe it is so difficult to get paid work done. I am thinking of creating a new site which offers TXP building services for those who need it.
We’re looking forward to an enjoyable ride – maybe you’d care to come along with us.
