Portals and member areas
Logins, roles, permissions and the screens behind them. The part that starts after a CMS runs out.

The build partner for the jobs you have to turn down
You look after charities and schools. Sooner or later one of them describes something that is not a website. A referral system. A case tracker. Something that has to hold data about real people and stand up to a funder asking how it is protected.
At that point you either turn it down, or you take it on and hope. We are the third option. You keep the client and the relationship. We build the thing.
Send the messy requirementA forwarded email from the client is fine. We'll review it and tell you whether it is something we can do well, roughly what it costs, and whether a conversation would help.

How it works
You bring us in either white-labelled or named, whichever suits you and your client. We have no preference and no ego about it.
We do not take your client. We do not pitch them design, branding, marketing or anything else you already do for them. We are not building a client list at your expense, and we will put that in writing if you want it in writing.
What it costs
- £550 a day white label. The work ships under your name and we stay out of sight.
- £650 a day named. The client knows we built it and we can be introduced.
Five day minimum on a first engagement. Anything we can scope under three weeks we will quote as a fixed price instead, so you can put a number in front of your client rather than a range, without carrying the risk of an open-ended day rate.
Rates are ex VAT and held to 31 March 2027.
What we build
Case and safeguarding records
Structured records about real people, with consent capture, least-privilege access and an audit trail.
Workflow and internal tools
The spreadsheet that is quietly holding a charity together, turned into something that will not break.
Reporting and dashboards
Clear reports and dashboards that turn case, workflow or service data into something people can use.
Integrations
Talking to the systems a client already runs, including the ones with badly behaved APIs.
Rescue work
Stalled builds, inherited codebases, and AI-generated code that nearly works.
Mobile and app work
We ship on iOS and Android. Our own reminder service BinsOut runs on both alongside the web app, so the pipeline is proven, though our client work to date has been web.
Not WordPress themes, brand work, campaigns or SEO retainers. That is your side of the line and we would rather you kept it.
Why your client will be comfortable
Small suppliers get asked hard questions when charity data is involved. We can answer them.
- Cyber Essentials certified, ICO registered (ZC115548)
- Professional Indemnity £2m, Public Liability £5m, Employers Liability £10m
- Appointed to Spark RM6094, accredited on Bloom / NEPRO³
- A secure SEND assessment platform in production for a children’s charity, handling special-category data, with a full audit trail and a security review before go-live
- Documented handover and offboarding runbooks, with encryption keys escrowed separately from the servers they protect. A developer who has worked on the platform holds break-glass access to the credential vault. A formal source code escrow deed is not in place, and we will arrange one at cost if your client’s board wants it
Questions people ask before starting
Straight answers about scope, timing and what working together looks like.
Can you work white label?
Yes. We can work under your name or be introduced as the technical build partner. You decide what suits the client.
Will you sell other services to our client?
No. Community Tech does not pitch WordPress themes, brand work, campaigns or SEO retainers to your client.
How do we get a fixed price?
For work that can be scoped under three weeks, we provide a fixed price before the work starts.
It works both ways
If a client of ours needs design, accessibility auditing or marketing, we would rather refer it to a partner we know than to a search result.
