About Us

We're a team of application designers and developers based in Essex. We take pride in building amazing database apps that make our customers happy. Oh, and we love what we do!

DotNet Architect was founded in 1998 by Tim Titchmarsh, working on his own to support his clients. Over time this has grown to over a dozen staff who are all Iron Speed crazy and get stuff done.

Our office is in Maldon. It's a great little town famous for salt. We want to make it famous for software too. Try us out - we're happy to have a chat so if you're not sure what to do next give us a call and we can take it from there. No pestering salespeople, just fanatical developers who want to provide solutions.

Why Us?

Iron Speed expertise

You won't find more Iron Speed qualified MVPs in one company in the world. We believe in the technology and put everything behind it. That's why Ironspeed.com has chosen us as the UK and Europe support team for their product.

Keen Microsoft supporters

We favour Microsoft in everything we do. From Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio for development, through ASP.NET and everything in between. If you're looking for people who know MS technologies, you've found them.

Dedication

When we get hold of a problem, we won't let it go. Thanks to our rigorous in-house project methodology, no aspect of your database app will be overlooked.

Agile development

We favour an agile development methodology. What that means for you is working features in a short timeframe, with complete transparency.

Experience

We're a team packed with people who've seen their fair share of database deployments and app creation. Speaking of which...
