Chapter 1

Too many moving parts.

Problem statement

As organisations grow, websites multiply. Different platforms, suppliers, hosting and updates create systems that are harder to secure and more expensive to control.

Which of these is holding you back?

Tick the problems you recognise to see how we fix each one.

  • How we fix this

    Run them all on one platform.

    A Drupal multisite puts every brand, region and campaign site on one codebase. Each site keeps its own look and content, and you keep one set of updates, one hosting bill and one team. New sites cost less to build, and security patches reach every site at once.

    50%saving for Virtus Health, compared with building their first 7 websites separately

  • How we fix this

    Build it once, use it everywhere.

    Shared components, content and product data mean a change made once appears on every site and channel that uses it. Your teams stop rebuilding the same thing in different places.

    The M&S case study →

    6applications on one platform for M&S teams, auditors and suppliers

  • How we fix this

    Consolidate and drop licence fees.

    Fewer platforms means fewer hosting bills, contracts and retainers. Drupal is open source, so you pay no licence fees and any capable Drupal team can work on it.

    Secure hosting →

  • How we fix this

    Built secure, and kept patched.

    We build security into each layer, from hosting to logins. After launch, our support team applies security updates weekly or fortnightly, and your team gets reports on uptime, fixed vulnerabilities and incidents. To see where you stand today, start with a fixed-price website systems audit.

    Audits & discovery →

    24/7monitoring, with human response on higher support tiers

  • How we fix this

    Connect your systems and cut the manual steps.

    Link your website to the systems behind it, such as ticketing, ERP or CRM, so data moves without anyone copying it across. Your editors publish without waiting on a developer.

    The Phoenix Arts case study →

    600%faster event management for Phoenix Arts after their TicketSource integration

  • How we fix this

    Support from developers who know your platform.

    Security updates go out on a schedule, uptime checks run around the clock, and a developer picks up when you call. The plan chooser on the support page shows which plan fits your website.

  • How we fix this

    Build software that fits how you work.

    A custom web application fits the business rules that off-the-shelf software can’t. We agree a focused first release, then build it in short sprints backed by automated tests, so you see progress early. You own the code and the roadmap.

  • How we fix this

    An online shop built around how you sell.

    Customer-specific pricing, complex catalogues and trade ordering all work online, connected to your ERP for live stock, pricing and order status. You own the shop outright, with no commissions or licence fees.

Chapter 2

How we work.

Understand first. Build the right thing once. We work out what you actually need before anyone starts building.

  1. 1

    Discover

    Goals, users, technology and constraints, looked at in the round, so you don’t spend time and money building the wrong thing for the wrong people.

  2. 2

    Define

    A practical roadmap: what should change, what shouldn’t, and why. You know what each step is for before you commit budget.

  3. 3

    Deliver

    Design and engineering in visible, iterative steps, with security part of the build. You see progress early, so launch brings no big-bang surprises.

  4. 4

    Evolve

    Scheduled security updates, monitoring and continuous improvement, without lock-in. Your platform stays patched and keeps getting better instead of ageing.

The same experienced team stays with your platform from strategy and build to security and support, so nothing gets lost between handovers.

Multisite magicians…

Pivale have transformed the way we manage multiple websites. We were burdened with the continual cost of building and rebranding websites, but Pivale provided us with a unique Drupal solution to streamline the process.

Where we get involved.

We don’t force every organisation into the same model. Start with the problem; we’ll help you find or create the right solution.

Honest about fit

We’re not for you if you want a spec built without question.

We look beyond the immediate request, challenge assumptions and spot chances to cut cost, risk and duplication.

Sometimes that means a programme of change. Sometimes a small, well-judged fix. Sometimes we’ll tell you that you don’t need us.

Bring us the problem, not the spec

Where are you losing time, money or control?

Thirty minutes with one of our friendly experts: a fresh pair of eyes, useful questions and an honest view of what to do next. No obligation, and if we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.
