products
As a company we spent many years in the client services business, helping design agencies with their web development requirements. The main focus of our business is now in creating outstanding software to help the same companies improve their offering without needing to contract outside help.
Our first product is the mini-CMS Perch, developed to fill a gap in the market for a self-hosted, simple to install and use Content Management System.
Launched in May 2009 Perch has become a market leader in the small CMS space and we continue to develop and improve the product with frequent releases. To find out more visit the Perch website.
