Introducing Exetreme.com the blog

Exetreme is a web design company based in Exeter, South West England. We have done sites previously combining Dreamweaver and PDF. This blog is partly to explore what is possible as a transition appears to be happening from a web based on text to a web that concentrates on video.

Adobe supply most of the software we use for design. From the current MAX event in Chicago it is clear that they see a future around Flash.

We continue to work closely with Psand for website hosting and technical service. Gradually their advocacy for open source is getting to us. As patented software moves towards video it is possible that open source is capable of meeting the requirements of a text web, including PDF.

We have worked with Psand and Acrobat Services on a proposal to eTEN on a research project. Psand have shown that bandwidth is possible using satellites and wifi. Interest continues in how people learn from PDF and the role of server software. The scope is now wider than PDF. The project continues and any feedback is welcome. Exetreme will offer services connected with the research.

For the text web we can suggest open source solutions but can also work with more expensive options if required. We will look at the new "rich internet" experiences but cannot claim familiarity until clients are interested.
