Who We Work With

Does your web project align with our values as a member-owned business?

Polycot Associates aims to offer our services in support of other mission driven organizations including non-profits, co-ops, green and sustainable organizations, social good businesses, and B-corporations. Past clients include those working in economic and social justice, health, compassion, and other progressive issues.

About Our Team

We are web developers, strategic consultants, and more. Jon Lebkowsky co-founded Polycot Consulting with partners in 2001, which spun off Polycot Associates as a sole proprietorship in 2007. The current Poly-Coterie (team of people with shared interests who work for Polycot) coalesced in 2012 and converted the business into a democratically run partnership in early 2014.

We are Drupal and Wordpress web development experts, designers, and project managers. We create custom websites and implement web services integrations for our clients. Through collaborative problem solving, Polycot Associates delivers custom websites that are functional and attractive. We also build web applications using platforms like Ruby on Rails and Drupal.

Our team of partners is charged with web production projects, as well as maintenance, to ensure long-term viability and great customer relationships. Every member-owner is a powerful stakeholder in our success, which translates to a powerful stake in our client's success, too.

We are committed to collaboration at all points in the process. When you work with Polycot Associates, you are working with web professionals who care about your project at every moment.
