Polycot Associates spun off from the open source web consulting and development firm Polycot Consulting in 2007. Originally created to focus on web and social media consulting, the company has since become a full service web development firm. A decade ago the company transformed into a worker-owned and -managed cooperative. With strong commitment to values and a team of seasoned web professionals, today’s Polycot Associates skillfully builds and maintains websites and web applications.
Our Mission and Values
At Polycot Associates, our work is rooted in a clear mission and a set of unwavering values. We aim to improve the world by harnessing the power of inspiring and useful web technology, implementing a humane worker-owned business structure, and embracing collaborative, responsive, and transparent processes.
We further reflect this commitment through our engagement with mature open source web platforms. We craft interactive communication tools that inspire and serve. We’re motivated not just by the work we do for clients, but also by our clients' accomplishments: we’re committed to your success.
Polycot Associates strongly believes in the equal value and worth of every human, and we harness the synergy of teamwork to create results that surpass individual capabilities.
The Strength of Member-Owners
The Polycot Associates team consists of senior web development professionals with diverse and complementary skills and backgrounds. This diversity is central to our belief that different perspectives foster the most effective collaborative problem-solving. With a wealth of experience and a passion for continued learning, we are well-equipped to help any business or nonprofit organization thrive in the digital realm.
Collaborative Problem Solving
One key aspect that sets Polycot Associates apart is our process of collaborative problem solving, planning, and development. We prioritize essential business requirements over costly and low-value "nice-to-have" features, ensuring that your project focuses on what truly matters.
In the process of development, we carefully and clearly define development tasks for efficient development, making ongoing adjustments as needed, and working to ensure development of core functionality while remaining flexible to accommodate emerging requirements. Throughout the development process, we strive to be transparent and communicate clearly with our clients the progress of their projects.
