About Us

We are a small and highly efficient dev agency based in Wellington NZ, and with a new office opening soon in Melbourne AUS.

We work with a large range of clients, particularly with a Charity/not-for-profit, Environmental, or Education angle. We love complex data challenges, and open source, and as such, Drupal is our tool of choice for most jobs.

We place a lot of weight on individual freedoms, the health and mental health of the team, and creating an environment that allows us to all be ourselves, while getting things done!

We use open source whenever we can. We believe in supporting and contributing to open source platforms and development communities. We have been running the Wellington Drupal meetup for years now, and are making inroads into contributing and supporting community Drupal modules.
