Custom platforms
Platforms Your Team Can Own
Applications, portals, learning platforms and dashboards for the work that now runs on forms, email and spreadsheets. Accessible from the first screen, and handed over so your team can run and extend them.
Sound familiar?
Applications by email and PDF
People give up on long forms, and staff retype what arrives into a spreadsheet.
Tools that don't talk to each other
Learners, clients or members in one system and their progress or status in another.
Off-the-shelf almost fits
You've bent a product around your process until the workarounds are the process.
One person knows how it works
The system lives in one person's head, or with a vendor you can't easily leave.
What we build
Application and intake
Clear steps, plain language and the right field types, connected to the system your staff already use, so applicants finish and your team can sort and track what comes in.
Portals
A place for clients, members, teachers or participants to log in, see where things stand and do the next thing.
Learning platforms
Courses, cohorts and progress tracking, including white-label platforms that partners can run under their own name.
Booking and membership
Registration, scheduling and renewals without the back-and-forth.
Feedback collection
Surveys and check-ins that feed straight into your reporting instead of a pile of exports.
Dashboards
Live views for staff, boards and funders, so a report is a page you open, not a project.
How we build
You own everything we build
All code, design files and content are yours. Ongoing support is always your choice.
Accessible by design
We design and test for accessibility from the first wireframe, not as a fix at the end.
Modern tech, no lock-in
Fast, secure, flexible systems with an admin your team can actually use. No bloated page builders.
Built for handover
Documentation and training, so your team can extend the platform on its own.
Platforms we've built
Sprout Learning
Connected North Student
Hackergal Hub
How a project works
Most builds run 8 to 16 weeks, in phases with a clear scope for each one.
Plan before you build
We agree on who it's for, what it needs to do first, and which tools to build it with. Many projects begin with a systems review or a short planning engagement so the scope and phases are clear before anyone spends on a build.
Design with the people who'll use it
Journeys, wireframes and prototypes tested with your staff and your users, with accessibility built in from the start.
Build in phases
The most useful parts go live first, so your team sees value early and we can adjust as we learn.
Hand it over
Documentation, training and a clean handover. Ongoing support is available if you want a partner after launch, and never required.
