Ridgeway Digital — Software Consultancy
We handle the software and technical parts of your small business, improving your capabilities and freeing up time and attention — so you can concentrate on what you do best.
Everyone is worthy of excellent software
We're a small team with lots of experience in the software industry. We bring best practices to the smallest companies.
We prioritize trustworthiness at the cost of doing brisker business. We want you to be happy to say 'Hi!' when you bump into us on the street.
While tech agencies come with big teams and minimum budgets in the tens of thousands. We believe that everyone should have access to excellent software.
Our first deliverables are your understanding and peace of mind. We'll help you make sense of things and develop your plan, and then handle the complexity of implementation.
You can ring us when you need help without the difficulty and ongoing cost of hiring, and you'll reach us directly without waiting for a support team.
We're not interested in working with the techbros. The best part of our job is working with real people, solving real problems, not selling unneeded subscriptions.

Here's what we do best
More and more, people connect with the services they need through the web.
We do everything needed to help you make a strong and professional
impression for your clients, like turning your @gmail.com email into
an @yourbusiness.com email, helping you graduate from Facebook and
Instagram by getting your website up to capture leads, and getting
your business discoverable on maps and local directories.
While a powerful force multiplier when done correctly, bespoke software is too expensive a solution for many businesses, and shouldn't be considered first for many. Instead, a great solution can be customizing pre-existing software to fit your company's workflows.
We deploy off-the-shelf software, customize it, and provide hosting, regular maintenance, and additional needed functionality as your business evolves.
When off-the-shelf software just won't cut it, we provide full-service custom software development—software made to fit your business to a 'T'.
We'll handle design (though an affiliate of ours), development, documentation, training, hosting, regular maintenance, and additional functionality as needed.
Have an ongoing software project you're not sure about? We also provide 'second opinions' and audits.
We provide expert technical advice without the cost of a full-time hire. Call on us when you need honest, prudent advice, or need it fixed yesterday.
A loop of small steps over short periods of time
We develop a deep understanding of your goals, constraints, and needs before we do anything.
We go through your options with you, making sure that we're in alignment and know what success looks like.
We aim for small deliverables so you've got something to show for it quickly and with measured results.
We revisit to make sure that your project is moving in the right direction, and keep doing so until the work is done.
If your business is struggling with where to start, where to go next, or how to make the best use of the software you've got, send us an email and we'll get back to you within the next business day.
