Coastal Collective is a community across Poole and Bournemouth, with its own platform: events, ticketed bookings and member accounts. We took over the running of the platform, made it more secure, and have been extending it ever since. The community uses it daily at coastalcollective.uk.

01
What did Coastal Collective need?
Coastal Collective is a real community, and it was running on a platform it had inherited, with one person holding all the keys. It needed the platform taken on: run day to day, made more secure, and built on.
02
What did we do first?
We took over the running of the platform and made it more secure. That came first, before anything new was added.
03
What have we built since?
We have kept extending the platform: events, ticketed bookings and member accounts. Since we took it over, nearly 300 member accounts and over 130 event bookings have gone through it. We also built a Coastal Collective app for iPhone and Android.
04
What would this look like for your business?
If your business runs on something someone else built and needs it secured and built on, this is what that looks like. You keep what works, and we take it on from there.
In their words
“We came to Scott with a semi-vision of what we were after amidst heaps of enthusiasm. Scott helped us shape our vision and understood exactly what we wanted and how it could work better before we’d even finished explaining it. Our site feels warm and welcoming, just like the community itself. Every time someone joins and says how easy it was to find us, that’s down to him.”

Work like this is priced per project rather than from the pricing menu, so get in touch and we will scope it in conversation.
