Our work in the Public Sector

We partner with public sector organisations to design and deliver inclusive, high-performing digital services that meet diverse user needs and support internal teams. Whether it's improving key user journeys, integrating complex systems, or rethinking service delivery, we focus on outcomes that make a meaningful difference.

  • Content and Communications Support

    We help public sector teams communicate clearly and consistently – from crafting web content and explainer videos to developing targeted digital campaigns. Our approach ensures key messages are accessible, accurate, and aligned to organisational goals.

  • Data-driven Improvement

    We use analytics and user feedback to track engagement, measure outcomes, and guide continuous improvement. This ensures your digital services evolve based on real user needs, not assumptions.

  • Intuitive Content Management

    Give your teams the tools to work confidently and efficiently. We implement accessible, user-centred CMS solutions with version control and multilingual support, built to meet WCAG standards and reduce administrative overhead.

  • Personalised Digital Experiences

    Tailor content and interactions to different user groups for greater relevance and impact. Using platforms like Umbraco Engage, we help you deliver more meaningful digital experiences across every touchpoint.

  • Smart Integration Capabilities

    We connect third-party systems and internal services to streamline workflows and reduce manual effort, ensuring your digital services support your teams, rather than slow them down.

  • User-centric by Design

    We design around the real needs of your audiences – whether that’s personnel, patients, families, or the wider public. Our user-first approach ensures services are practical, intuitive, and accessible for everyone.

  • GDPR Ready & Secure

    Our platforms are built to safeguard sensitive data and maintain full compliance with GDPR and sector-specific regulatory requirements.

    We support your digital transformation journey end-to-end – from replacing legacy systems to scaling future-ready platforms that continue delivering value.

Real-world impact

We’ve partnered with some of the UK’s most important public organisations to deliver secure, user-first digital services that make a tangible difference.

For the British Army, we redeveloped their internal communications platform to improve access for over 140,000 service personnel, civil servants, and families. The result was a secure, mobile-first experience with clearer navigation and far simpler content management across the organisation.

We supported Nottinghamshire County Council in launching the MyNotts mobile app to improve access to local services. Within just five months, the app saw 4,500+ installations, an 80% positive experience rating, and 750+ hours of engagement, helping the council better connect with its community.

We’ve also worked with NHS organisations and NHS Charities Together to deliver platforms that strengthen engagement, improve access to support, and scale sustainably in service of public impact.

Mobile app solutions for the public sector

In a mobile-first world, people expect fast access to services – wherever they are. 

Using our MemConnect platform, we help councils deliver all-in-one mobile apps that bring essential services, local updates, and real-time alerts together into a single, intuitive experience. 

Whether you're streamlining service delivery or improving digital accessibility, our mobile solutions are built to connect your audiences and future-proof your digital estate. 

Used by Nottinghamshire County Council to reach thousands of residents, reduce service friction, and improve satisfaction.

Bringing your community together

Public sector organisations rely on strong communities – whether that’s staff sharing knowledge, volunteers coordinating activity, or members supporting one another.

We design safe, inclusive digital spaces that make it easier for people to connect and feel part of something bigger. Our platforms enable meaningful conversation, peer learning, and shared support, all while meeting the accessibility and security standards public sector organisations require.

Trusted by NHS Charities Together to help unite their national membership through a supportive peer-to-peer community.
