ClientSide is a small customer-focused business that has been specialising in developing applications that run on browsers since 1998.

Customer approach
We genuinely care about the needs of each customer. So we can't be happy unless you are. We are commited to working hard to help you succeed.

Engineering approach
Attentive to the real needs of our customers and their end-users, we identify the best solution and then find a way to make it possible.

We aim to deliver innovative products that are refined to the levels of commercial PC software, running without plug-ins in the standard browser environments.

Everything is engineered with a meticulous attention to detail. This care, along with our unparalleled mastery of browser technologies, enables us to deliver solid leading-edge solutions to our clients.

Contributions
We feel it is important to give something back to the community that makes our products possible.

Since 2005 ClientSide's founder, Ian Paterson, has been a Member of the XMPP Council, the five-person technical steering group that reviews and approves all XMPP Extension Protocols. (The Council is elected by the members of the XMPP Standards Foundation.) He is also the principle architect and author of multiple standards-track protocols, including the truly inovative XEP-0124, XEP-0206 (both XMPP/HTTP), XEP-0116, XEP-0187, XEP-0188, XEP-0200, XEP-0210, XEP-0217 (all Encrypted Sessions), XEP-0059 (Result Set Management), XEP-0136 (Message Archiving), XEP-0155 (Chat Session Negotiation), XEP-0158 (Robot Challenges), XEP-0159 (SPIM-Blocking Control), XEP-0189 (Public Key Publishing) and XEP-0221 (Data Forms Media Element).

ClientSide is currently offering free support to developers of XEP-0124 compatible XMPP clients (including test accounts on a BreakThru server installation).
