When we started a little over a decade ago as a local, web-based services firm, we committed ourselves to the highest standards of client focus and client satisfaction.

We figured happy clients lead to more clients, which leads to success and growth. Keep it simple, we said, and the clients will keep coming.

But along the way, as we grew and continued to work with existing technologies like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and a raft of others, we came to recognize a widespread barrier that was going to get in the way of us raising the bar in terms of client satisfaction. It was a barrier that was out of our control.

That significant barrier was the unavoidable compromises that clients had to accept regarding security, simplicity and cost of ownership when choosing a Content Management System (CMS).

We thought there had to be a better way, and then, in a flash of inspiration, some might call it madness, we decided to build a better way by building a better CMS.

So in 2010, we launched QuickSilk, a simple, affordable, robust and security-obsessed content management system that would live in the cloud, as so many technologies do now.

Since then, we have continued to invest in the development of QuickSilk, to the tune of hundreds of thousands of person-hours, at last count, to build what we believe is an incredibly fine choice for websites designed, deployed and managed without compromise and complications.

Along the way, we’ve been thrilled to see QuickSilk used to power websites of all sizes, from non-profits, consulting companies, digital agencies, think tanks and technology startups to organizations like the World Bank, Financial Accountability Office of Ontario and the Government of Canada.

A powerful tool like QuickSilk does not get built without a client-centred team and commitment to communication, creativity and collaboration. Our team brings expertise and perspectives from all around the world. We take the initiative, responsibility and ownership.
