Online Publishing & Website Development
We provide support for open source publishing systems that are free to use and do not require ongoing license fees. This means we help you configure the hosting, which we optimize for low-cost, and we also provide security updates as well as minor cosmetic updates as part of our ongoing maintenance plans. By using open source solutions we give you the flexiblity of being able to choose another vendor. If you use one of these systems already, we can do an assessment of your site to see if we can help you reduce costs by switching to us!
Some of the systems we support include WordPress, Backdrop, and Drupal. Additionally we can support front-end frameworks like Vue and Svelte. We especially like "static" websites that are either hand-made or compiled and then uploaded to a classic "plain-text" hosting system.

APIs, Databases & Distributed Systems
Our business started in the Content Management Systems space and we continue
to work with web "documents" but try to shy away from using
relational data systems so we can deploy content to a distributed
document store.

Web Maintenance
Unlike most other vendors in our industry we prefer to build and
support your project on an ongoing basis after the project is complete.
We build things to be maintainable so upgrades are easy and new features can
be added as we go.
Typical Ongoing Maintenance
- Help diagnosing misbehaving APIs and gateways
- Applying security updates
- Routine module and systems updates
- Monitoring and automated testing
- Implementing compliance, performance and security recommendations
- General editing support (for our point of contact on your team)
- Custom development tasks that fit within maintenance budget
