About Black Tar

Black Tar specialises in web-based solutions and services, offering consulting services in usability, analysis, design, architecture and software development.

Black Tar was founded by Vidar Andersen in 1997. Vidar is also one of the founders of the Plone Content Management System.

Black Tar is celebrating over ten years of business. After over 10 years of booms, bubbles and busts we are still here, ready to party like it's 1999! (Do not expect an IPO or complimentary Aeron chairs any-day-now, though.)
