“The site still works… technically” ⤵

🟡But small updates that used to take two days now take two weeks.

🟡Page loads that were acceptable three years ago are now pushing 10 seconds.

🟡Your web agency responds eventually, but requests sit in ticket systems for days.

We’ve partnered with charities, nonprofits, think tanks, and universities for almost 20 years, and we see the same patterns behind platform problems.

The good news is: they’re fixable. ⭐

Deliberate, phased, realistic work that doesn’t blow your budget or call for emergency rebuilds.

Our free 2026 Digital Platform Triage Kit helps you diagnose what’s really draining budget, slowing publishing, and creating risk – and stabilise it in 30 days.

When @dupevfx outgrew its Squarespace site, we partnered with @dogeatcog to solve a challenge familiar to many mission-led organisations:

🤔 How do you publish media-heavy content and complex data:
a) while keeping it accessible to everyone?
b) without designers or devs for every update?

The results:
✨ Active users +59%
✨ New users +57%
✨ Average engagement time +23%

We achieved this with:
🎦 A thoughtful UX that put the team’s VFX work centre stage
🖥️ Wagtail CMS that makes content management frictionless
📊 Our mobile-friendly Grafl.io tool to showcase B Corp data beautifully, on any device

When Power for Democracies came to us in April 2025, they needed a web platform – fast. The team had a conference in early June and its site had to be live for the event.

On top of that, they needed hosting that matched the org’s pro-democracy ethos, in a climate where many big brands are bowing to political pressure. That meant nothing owned by Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, or Apple.

Spoiler alert: we did it.👇

To get things moving as soon as possible and de-risk the project, we found splitting the delivery into three parts was the smartest move. This allowed us to launch fast without losing sight of the bigger picture, with a clear plan to evolve the platform in phases.

We’re really looking forward to supporting Power for Democracies with its secure, scalable Wagtail CMS platform for Phase 2, empowering its editors with full control and making sure research is always easy to find, share, and act on.

Have a little look, if you like – the full case study is on our site. 🔍

Only you truly know what holds your digital platform together. 💻️

So when you’re at capacity and need external web support, the last thing you need is a huge handover adding to your to-do list.

When our digital experts plug into web teams, we don’t need the grand tour.

We already know the challenges mission-led organisations face.

We get aligned with how you work, then find the least disruptive way to support your team.

We usually start with something like an upgrade or specific tech task that’s been on your to-do list for too long.

It gives us a solid feel for the site, and gives you a feel for how we work.

From there, we build a rhythm that makes sense to your team.

Typically, this means:

🟡 Weekly check-in (30 mins max)
🟡 Shared board for tickets and progress
🟡 Clear point of contact for anything else

Let us help tackle the backlog so you can work on the big picture.

👉️ Drop us a DM or email if you need a safe pair of hands

If your content workflow feels unmanageable, you're not failing. ⤵

Last year, research across the mission-led sector showed similar patterns across organisations:

🟡Charities🟡
➨ 74% of charities say digital is a priority, yet only 44% have a strategy (down from 50% last year)
➨ 50% say they’re poor at resourcing digital work 39% are poor at website and analytics data.

🟠Public sector🟠
➨ £26B annual digital spend, yet 28% of legacy systems lack remediation funding
➨ 47% of central government and NHS services still have no digital pathway

🔵Think tanks🔵
➨ 71% report fundraising as their biggest organisational gap
➨ 29% aren't using AI, with 26% citing infrastructure gaps as a barrier

🟤Universities🟤
➨ 47 accessibility errors per homepage on average
➨ 44% expect no budget increase for accessibility compliance

For almost 20 years, we've worked with charities, nonprofits, think tanks, and universities amplifying world-changing work. We see these patterns play out for mission-led comms and digital teams every single day.

You're not alone. And you're not failing.

The good news: Your web platform issues are fixable. They don't need a big flashy rebuild to start stabilising.

Our approach is steady, manageable, and totally makes sense.

And we're sharing it with you. ⤵

The free 2026 Digital Platform Triage Kit for Changemakers walks you through practical steps to:

🔬️ Diagnose what's at risk
⚙️ Stabilise your platform in 30 days
📈 Plan what comes next

We've used these methods for clients such as:
⭐ @oxford_uni
⭐ @odi.global
⭐ @girlsnotbrides_
⭐ Power for Democracies

Diagnose the pattern.
Stabilise the platform.
Amplify what matters.

An ode to Shakespeare's digital frontiers. 🕯️👇

Behind every performance and packed house, there's a digital Shakespearean ecosystem doing equally Herculean work.

🏡 Our client, @shakespearebtrust, cares for the heritage sites and stories that shaped him.

🪶 @thersc brings research funding and theatre innovation to new audiences.

⭕ @the_globe streams productions via the first-of-its-kind Globe Player, interactive classroom tools, a digitised performance archive, and free curriculum resources for state schools.

📚 Libraries like the @bodleianlibraries, University of Oxford preserve and democratise his texts.

📜 Digitisation specialists like @TownsWeb Archiving turn fragile physical collections digital assets that can be shared and searched globally.

🎭 Meanwhile, @aceagrams funds the infrastructure that keeps all of it moving.

At Cursive, we build and support the platforms that help mission–led organisations in Shakespeare's world handle complexity, reduce risk, and turn ideas into real–life action.

Shakespeare, wherever you are. 🕯️
