Technology can be simple when it’s the right technology. There’s a myriad of solutions available from which we combine the best of free and paid-for tools to achieve the results you need.

Whether it's apps for iPhones and iPads, online subscription and membership content; seriously clever searches or back-end integration, over 14 years experience building, hosting and supporting websites, using off-the-shelf platforms and our own bespoke code means we bring to your project a team of technical experts ready for any challenge.

To offer you the best choice in content management systems we're now EPIServer and SiteCore partners, in addition to working with OpenSource systems such as DotNetNuke, WordPress and Drupal. We're constantly evaluating the market place to enable you to work with market-leading technology.

We start by determining your requirements - site functionality and features, scope, content management, resources and ongoing hosting and support. These are then matched with the most appropriate technology, considering both the short and medium term vision so we pick the right systems from the beginning. For Epilepsy Bereaved this was a website content managed using WordPress. For Cancer Research UK it's moving content management into Episerver. For our fundraising clients it’s using our own forms and fundraising capabilities, as yet unrivalled.

We're in it for the long haul providing hosting and support services to many of our clients. Our offering combines market leading reliability, scalability and security through our partners at Rackspace. Our full life cycle experience means that we will be considering your ongoing support and management when we're making initial technology recommendations and your project manager is always on hand to review your site and support requirements.

We’re stronger than ever now in matching a charity’s requirements with the right technology. For one organisation this means they get the results they need through a powerful licensed CMS, but for another it might mean 80% of their requirements can be met using an open source platform and the other 20% we can develop onto a paid-for module. This flexibility means that charities get high quality technical results and good value at the same time.
