Trusted by dioceses including
Websites, databases and operations platforms for organisations whose work doesn't fit off-the-shelf software: businesses, charities, membership bodies, landlords and dioceses. Designed, built and supported by a small UK team.
We build and run back-office systems for all kinds of businesses, not only dioceses. Usually it is a company whose work has grown up across spreadsheets, Word templates and somebody’s inbox, and now needs to live in one place. Here are two examples of the kind of thing we mean.
One company we work with sends qualified inspectors to factories to check goods on behalf of its clients. Their system holds each job from the first enquiry to the invoice. Coordinators use a qualification grid and a map to choose who to send, book them on a drag-and-drop calendar, and produce the job sheet in one click. Reports, photos and any faults found are filed against the job, and timesheets, expenses and purchase orders feed into billing.
A business energy broker buys gas and electricity contracts for commercial customers and is paid commission by the suppliers. The system behind that keeps each customer’s sites and meters, their signed letter of authority, and every contract with its end date. Staff request usage data from the current supplier, price quotes from supplier tariffs and send them out as PDFs, then issue notice to the old supplier once the customer accepts. Commission is invoiced and forecast month by month, and as a contract nears its end the system flags the renewal so the cycle starts again.
Other work we take on: membership bodies, event organisers, schools, landlords and start-ups. If your work runs on a cycle of enquiries, bookings, renewals or inspections, it will probably look familiar to us. We can build it new, or take over the system you already have and bring it up to date.
Tell us about yours →Each one started as a job for a single client and grew into a product. All three are live today, on a flat monthly fee, with a UK team behind them. If the thing you need doesn’t exist yet, the same team will build it for you.
A single platform that replaces the spreadsheets, Access databases and Outlook inboxes that diocesan offices accumulate over decades. It sits on top of the National CMS rather than replacing it.
Tenancies, repairs, inspections, gas and electrical safety, EPCs and fire risk, all tracked as compliance cycles rather than line items. We built it originally for diocesan housing, and it now runs for other multi-site landlords too.
We have been building websites since 2001 and it is still a big part of what we do. We can take a new site from a blank page to live, write the copy for it, and keep it up to date afterwards. Or we can pick up the site you already have and look after that instead.
We start with who the site is for and what they come to it to do. Then we work out the page structure and a look that fits your organisation, and show it to you as a working draft you can click through on your own phone.
Fast pages that work on any screen, meet accessibility standards and are set up properly for search engines. We sort the domain, hosting and security certificate. If you need a booking form, a members area or a link into your own database, we build that as well.
A lot of website projects stall waiting for the words, so we write them. We talk to you, draft each page in plain English and edit it with you until it sounds like your organisation. The search terms people actually use get worked in without it reading like it was written for Google.
After launch we stay on. Email us a change and we make it, normally within a working day. Backups, security updates and regular checks that forms and links still work are covered on a flat monthly fee, so there is no surprise bill when something needs doing.
ParishGuard checks every parish website in your diocese against Church of England requirements, scores each parish red, amber or green, and writes the policies they are missing, pre-populated with their own details. It also tracks how ready each parish is for the 2031 charity registration deadline.
Two more platforms and the bespoke practice that built all of them.
Bookings, leaders, safeguarding, kit and day-of QR check-in for camps and large gatherings.
Explore Event Jamboree →Homework, AI revision, behaviour and attendance in one gamified platform for schools.
Explore HEDU →A senior team that designs the thing, builds it and then runs it. Usually live in six to eight weeks.
Explore App Building →We take on what is already running, get it stable, and stay with it. No tender required.
Explore Bespoke →Two very different sorts of client, and the same standard of work for both. At one end, organisations with regulatory cycles, statutory reporting and good reason to be wary of rip-and-replace: dioceses, charities, scout districts, housing associations, professional bodies. At the other, start-ups and tech teams who need something shipped quickly and shipped properly. Either way we start with what you have already got running, and we write down what we touch.
More about us →We run our own platforms in production, so we are working in a stack we know well. Pricing is flat per month rather than per-feature. And we expect to still be on the phone with you in five years, because most of our clients are.
Discovery isn't a workshop with sticky notes. We spend a few weeks sitting alongside the diocesan secretary, the property manager or the finance lead, watching how the work actually gets done.
Six to eight weeks from scope to a live system, and your team working on real data inside the first quarter. We would rather show you something working than a set of slides.
Most of our clients have been with us for five years or more. We host the system, patch it, and evolve it from one quarter to the next. There's no separate support team to hand over to, and no re-platforming charge waiting in year three.
If your operations don't fit a CRM, we should talk. Whether you've already got a brief or you're at the "we know there's a better way to do this" stage, drop us a line. The first conversation is free and there's no pressure to take it further.
