Well here it is, the launch of our newly revamped website, designed to better serve our community of charities, NGOs, and supporters. This new platform embodies our mission to drive social impact through innovative digital solutions.
We believe that a thriving team is built on continuous development, transparent progression, and holistic growth. To that end, we have developed an innovative employee progression system called CASTLE, designed to support and reward our team members in a comprehensive and meaningful way.
A quick side project to create an open-source feedback system to empower charities to gather crucial community data and enhance impact reporting--and at a fraction of the cost of commercial solutions.
When receiving briefs, it’s not uncommon for the details to be hazy or open to interpretation. There is a risk that what our partners envision and what our team delivers aren’t always perfectly aligned—especially when requirements are complex, or when there’s a need for iteration as the project evolves. Everyone is so busy, and knowledge transfer and experience differences between organisations are tricky. This is where design becomes a critical tool—not just for aesthetics, but as a way to visually ‘play back’ a brief to help get everyone aligned. Designs help translate abstract requirements into something tangible, allowing all parties to clarify expectations before moving into development.
Web accessibility is a crucial aspect of modern website design, yet it's often overlooked or considered too challenging to fully implement. However, a recent collaboration between Sight Concern Bedfordshire, a local sight impairment charity, and The Developer Society, a not-for-profit digital cooperative, is challenging this perception. Sight Concern Bedfordshire’s new website isn't just raising the bar for accessibility – it's providing valuable lessons for organisations looking to make their online presence more inclusive without breaking the bank.
The Developer Society is proud to be featured in Be Part of It, a poetic short film celebrating co-operatives in the West Midlands. Discover how shared ownership empowers creativity, collaboration, and innovation. Watch now!
It's 2025 now and the world's changing fast - as The Developer Society, we're right here with you, turning these tricky times into real opportunities for growth.
