What We Do

We specialize in creating responsive WEB pages which look good on all devices (desktops, tablets, smartphones, and TVs). Designs are built using native HTML, PHP and Javascript. This promotes fast page loading and efficient use of server resourses. We are also proficient in Wordpress design and browser add-on development.

Take a look at examples of our work.

Examples of Our Work

Hear2Read.org

The Hear2Read.com website, developed by Tim White Design, incorporates HTML, PHP, JavaScript, video and audio playback, automatic email generation, and partial page loading to provide a flowing user experience. All pages are responsively designed to display equally well on computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Tim White Design also provided demo and prototype pages where one can listen to example sentences in eight Indic languages, and, if needed, help by providing feedback on the pronounciation of specific words, or combinations of words. The feedback, which is sent to Hear2Read as an email, is used to improve the voice quality of the text-to-speech (TTS) software developed by the Hear2Read project in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University, and has been downloaded to over 10,000 Android devices.

Add-on Development

Indic Language Reader Add-on

Tim White Design developed a browser add-on capable of reading webpages in any of 7 indic languages. This add-on is capable of "reading" arbitrary webpages by parsing the webpage DOM and sending text strings found in the page to a back-end Text-To-Speech(TTS)engine which renders the text as a .wav file that is then played on the client browser.

This project was requested by Hear2Read to allow sight empared and illiterate indic speakers to understand the content on indic webpages.

Consultant Website

Tim White Design developed this consultant Website to highlight the services and accomplishments of an investment and consulting service for high tech growth ventures in Silicon Valley.

Testimonials

Suresh Bajaz - Founder and Cheerleader at Hear2Read

I have known Tim since 1995 and have used him as an advisor on many occasions. He is my go to person for Internet and Web technology questions. He is dedicated to doing the right thing and is thorough and tenacious at getting the job done.

Tim built the Hear2Read.org web site from scratch in HTML, PHP and JavaScript; completing it in short order. It is used to collect feedback on Indic Text To Speech software that runs on the same Unix Virtual Machine as the web site. This is not possible with the popular web site Content Management Systems (CMS). Tim is always responsive in adding or modifying the web site. He has also taken over building and maintaining the TTS software on the server.

Tim also built several event specific web sites on short order. These web sites were used to promote cultural and alumni events.

I enjoy working with Tim and look forward to working with him for a long time.
