Platforms

WordPress is our primary production platform. And if your organization needs to tie your web presence to analytics (even beyond Google's free offerings), email, marketing automation, CRM, productivity tools in the cloud, or even your own VPN, we can help you with these as well.

WordPress

Over 63% of all websites built on Content Management Systems (CMS's) are created with WordPress. And this accounts for over 43% of all websites overall, regardless of the underlying technology.

This means that the WordPress ecosystem has some of the most rigorously exercised development options in any web sector. And that, in turn, translates to flexibility, reliability, and trust.

We also happen to love WordPress because it is a joy to work with, and is the easiest way to empower our clients to do everything they want to do in service of their quest for excellence.

Analytics

Web Analytics provide critical insight into your online efforts.

Google Analytics is the most widely used platform for Web Analytics in the world, and support for GA4 (the current version) is included with every project we build.

More Analytics

Need to go beyond Google Analytics?

Does your web project require "ethical" analytics? Are you interested in cookieless tracking? Do you want richer reporting? Are you doing business in Europe? Do you need to own all of your data? Do you require reporting of actual numbers regardless of volume (rather than data sampling)? Are you tracking Intranet analytics?

These and other reasons sometimes compel stakeholders to look elsewhere for Web Analytics, and Matomo is a leading choice for analytics with cost-effective and thorough options.

Email

SendGrid is our preferred email-sending service because it offers wonderful deliverability at a very reasonable price. It powers all our transactional messaging (emails sent by your web server when a visitor submits an email or a user resets their password, for example).

We also use SendGrid to send emails from most of the non-WordPress platforms list on this page.

Marketing Automation

Mautic is the marketing automation platform we use when projects require more control, data ownership, and flexibility than is possible with MailChimp and the like.

CRM

Suite CRM, a fork of Sugar CRM, is a powerful CRM platform that integrates effectively with WordPress-based projects, while offering more power and flexibility than is possible with a plugin CRM.

Productivity

If your project (or even the organization as a whole) is storing files in messy collections of online file storage accounts, disk drives, USB devices, and the like, you are probably often frustrated with not being able to find what you need. A strong Universal File Access and sync platform such as NextCloud may be exactly what you need. Your files are stored on a central server and can be accessed by staff computers and mobile devices through apps.

You can also deepen your collaborative capabilities with NextCloud by adding chat, conferencing, and groupware document creation. If your current email, contacts, and calendaring apps are not private enough to your liking or too difficult to integrate into your preferred collaborative workflows, NextCloud has options for you in these areas as well.

VPN

Project teams that have special privacy concerns sometimes invest in tools like privately managed VPN's (Virtual Private Networks).

WireGuard enables VPNs in a relatively easy-to-use package, with high-speed performance, and a slim attack surface. The WireGuard VPN incorporates technologies that are also used by Cloudflare, Microsoft, OpenBSD, and others.
