We set up open source tools instead of a pile of monthly subscriptions, connect them, and host them for you. Here's what that usually looks like:
A sole trader, shop, studio or practice that needs to be found online, keep in touch with customers and see what's working.
Subscriptions you cut
A team with lots of processes, from bookings to follow-ups, that wants fewer copy-and-paste jobs and fewer logins.
Subscriptions you cut
A club, association, co-op or community group with members to welcome, email, share files with and meet online.
MauticMember emails
AuthentikMember logins and groups

Website builders keep your site on their platform. Leave, and you start again. We build on SpaceClub, our open source website template, so your site is a folder of plain files in your own Git repository. This is all there is to this one:
