Web Development
& Digital Services.
The Forge
Digital services for membership organisations, professional bodies and clubs—from strategy and architecture through to build and ongoing support.
Membership Platforms
Custom-built websites with integrated payments, member management and content tools—designed for organisations that need more than an off-the-shelf template.
- Membership systems with tiered access, automated renewals and member directories
- Stripe and PayPal subscription integration with full lifecycle management
- Custom plugins for newsletters, member gating and admin tooling
- CMS architecture your team can manage without a developer
WordPress Development
Ground-up WordPress builds with custom themes and bespoke plugins—not page builders and premium templates.
- Custom theme development to your brand and specification
- Bespoke plugin development for functionality that doesn't exist off the shelf
- Site migrations from Drupal, Joomla and legacy WordPress
- Content migration with SEO and URL preservation
Web Applications & Tooling
Full-stack applications and backend tooling for when a CMS isn't the right fit.
- Next.js and React applications with TypeScript
- Backend services and CLI tooling in Go
- Payment platforms with Stripe Connect
- API design, database architecture and hosting infrastructure
The Forge Process
How projects move from brief to launch.
Discovery
Understanding your organisation, your members and what the site needs to do. Audit of your current platform, content inventory and technical requirements—before any design or code.
Blueprint
Architecture, wireframes and a written specification. A clear scope and timeline before build begins, with a fixed price against defined deliverables.
Forging
Design and development in short iteration cycles with regular check-ins. You see working builds throughout, not a big reveal at the end.
Launch & Support
Testing, deployment, training and handover. Ongoing retainer available for maintenance, updates and iterative development after go-live.
