A small studio.
A close working relationship.

We build and maintain digital systems for academic conferences. You work directly with the people responsible for yours.

We keep the setup as simple as the work allows, and the conversation open.

  1. Start with a conversation.

    Tell us about your conference, your deadlines and what needs attention. We’ll agree a practical scope and a clear quote.

  2. Build around your process.

    We choose the right tools, work through the details with you and help your committee get comfortable with the system.

  3. Keep it in good hands.

    After launch, we stay involved. Together, we agree the maintenance and support your conference needs as it evolves.

A little clarity

Before we begin.

Every conference has its own way of working. We start by understanding yours.

Do we need to start from scratch?

Not necessarily. We begin with your current website and software, then recommend what to keep, improve or replace. A change should make your work easier.

Can you help with just part of the conference?

Yes. You might need a new website, a better submission process or someone to manage an existing system. We agree the scope around what you need.

What happens after launch?

We offer ongoing maintenance, content updates and technical support. The work, response arrangements and costs are agreed in advance, so you know who to contact and what’s covered.

How much will it cost?

We quote for your specific requirements. An initial conversation helps us understand the scope, timing and ongoing care you need, then put a clear proposal in writing.

Your next conference

Let’s make your next
conference easier.

Tell us what you’re planning, what’s working and what isn’t. We’ll work out the next step together.

A 30-minute conversation. A clearer way forward.
