Websites, small web apps and the awkward jobs in between
Community Tech was started by James Lawrence after 30 years building software for telecoms, banks and public bodies. Businesses, charities and the agencies that already look after them deserve that same quality of work, at prices they can actually pay. Send us a message and we'll reply within a working day.

The usual three options
Most people are picking between a freelancer, an agency and a hire. Each one costs you something different.
A freelancer
One pair of hands, and the job stops when they're ill or booked up by someone else.
An agency
Depth and cover, at a price that also carries the people managing the work. You often won't speak to whoever writes the code.
A permanent hire
Months to recruit, a salary whether the work is there or not, and you'd need to be sure the role is permanent.
Community Tech
The depth and cover of an agency without the overheads. We size each team to each job, so you pay for the actual work and nothing else.
How we work
Our Mission
Every business, charity and organisation should have a website that works, whatever its budget.
Our Approach
We listen first, set out the options, and build carefully. No upselling, and nothing more complicated than it needs to be.
Our Promise
If we can't help you, we'll tell you, and point you to someone who can.
Our clients, in their own words
"James built our new website, fixed the problems with our old one and wrote lead generation software for us. We've been flooded with work. He's easy to deal with and understands what a business like ours needs."
"James went through what we were paying for IT and cut our costs by 60%, then updated our old website quickly and without any disruption to how we work. He explained everything clearly and just got on with it. We'd recommend him to anyone."
"I have my own small business and needed a website to attract new customers for my music lessons. James was absolutely amazing. He set up the website promptly and helped demystify the more complicated aspects of web design. He also really encouraged me to build confidence so that I'm able to maintain it myself. He offers equity and fair pricing so that a little business like mine can stand shoulder to shoulder with larger organisations with much bigger budgets!"
