As software developers with a passionate commitment to sustainability, Web Collective has helped their clients overcome the three primary barriers to achieving their sustainability objectives. They remove roadblocks and bottlenecks. Software systems should help you achieve your objectives, but alll too often they are obstacles instead—difficult, inefficient, or dependent on the skills of specialists. Web Collective streamlines and simplifies your systems so everyone in the organization can focus on the objectives, not the systems. They helps to develop and deliver new services. A new service or function is successful when it is a strategic fit, it meets an audience or customer need, and the organization has the right systems for delivering it. They can recommend, and then build, the exact systems you need. They also work to improve your audience engagement. The Web is critical to the way organizations interact with the public. They have the expertise to effectively engage and convey your message to the public.
We became a B Corp to join a community of like-minded companies. We are excited about developing relationships with other B Corps and for a chance to influence sustainable practices in the community.
Web Collective has developed three core competencies for delivering solutions that support your sustainability objectives. They have seen clients face the same three critical barriers—operational roadblocks, inability to deliver critical services, or low levels of audience engagement over and over again. They have built their portfolio of design and technology skills specifically for overcoming those problems. Their knowledge, commitment, and experience means they can quickly build a deep understanding of your objectives and audience, and provide powerful ideas for how to get there. Software systems rarely fail for technical reasons. They fail when they’re not actually useful, even if they’re technically sound. Web Collective has built and refined a clear, open set of processes for aligning their solutions with your requirements: a methodology of discovery, collaboration, and agile development. With years of experience harnessing the power of technology to achieve heart-felt goals, they’d like to put their passion and talents to work for you.
