We build web-based applications for social good organizations

We use technology to build tools that you like to use.

From your website to complex M&E systems, from engaging annual report websites all the way to integrating rich third-party datasets, we understand how much all this means to you and your constituencies. That’s why we love our job. We get to help to make a difference.

Our stack of choice takes into account how easy it may be for you to transfer knowledge of these tools to internal IT teams or even onboarding external contractors. We love open source tech and open data, not only as tools of the trade but for the meaningful, ethical implications these have on the way we as humans relate to technology and information.

The best tool for the task is the tool that makes the task easier.

OUR WAY IS ALL ABOUT YOU

Our methodology is designed on four cornerstones, which all revolve around your needs.

1. Research

Our quest to provide you with a tool that fits you makes us ask a lot of questions. We dive deep into your processes, your expectations and your needs. We gather this information in a variety of ways, all of them take into account that you very well might have other things to do.

2. Model

We organize the information and start connecting needs to expectations, stories to problems and solutions. This step allows us to identify core functionalities, features and desideratas. It is the first step into understanding not only what we will be building, but also why we'll be building it that way.

3. Compute

We all need to make sure that we're placing our time and efforts in the right spot. To avoid waste, overhead, scope creep and budget overextension, we plan our roadmap around your key priorities. This ensures that we build what matters to you.

4. Build

All of our planning work leads to us making a tool for you. Our approach to development is flexible, iterative, fluid. We understand that complex problems might evolve and change, and your tool will need to compensate and allow this behaviour. We build with this on our minds, all the time.

We are artisans. We are proud of our craft.

Ok, that might sound a little vain, but when you do something with your own hands you're bound to love it. We work with love and attention for quality and detail, and think of the best way forward for your digital tool rather than the easy way out.

SOME OF OUR CLIENTS

Hivos

Our project with Hivos entailed building their Monitoring&Evaluation system from the ground up. We approached this work in two separate phases. The first phase concentrating on what kind system they wanted and needed, what was working in their processes and what could be better. In the second phase we started building and building, adding functionalities and features.

We topped off when we deployed their IATI report generator, that gathers information from various APIs and generates a IATI XML file that can be shipped for compliance. This significantly optimized the whole process (gathering the relevant data, validating, formatting, and publishing it) to a short set of clicks within the system.

We built our M&E system together with Level73. They did not just do the tech, but helped us work out the ‘wants’ from the ‘needs’, simplify structures and refine our M&E framework. It was an intense, collaborative process, resulting in a robust system with a focus on qualitative information.

International Land Coalition

We have been working with the International Land Coalition for many years. We provide expertise in the process of pairing existing tools with specific needs, but moreover, we have built, maintained and evolved their internal Membership and Monitoring&Evaluation System. Remapping how the software works to the everchanging landscape of strategic objectives that mutate over time (as they should), all while considering the internal team's needs as well as their constituents has proved to be a challenge fit for us.

These growing datasets have been feeding APIs to publish information to various online outlets. This has led to streamlining the work of the internal team, as data can be managed in one place, multiplying efficiency and productivity.

Working with Level73 was such a great experience! We started our collaboration back in 2017 and from the start, they really listened to what we wanted. They not only delivered what we envisioned but helped us design and focus on the things that we really needed. They did so with a very interesting prioritisation exercise. We have reworked the system several times now to respond to new demands and the process was always easy and straightforward. The result now is what we expected and more!

Civicus

Our relationship with Civicus is long-standing and multi-faceted. We have collaborated on various online outlets, for a varying audience and on different technical stacks. Most notably, we've helped enhance one of their flagship products, the Civicus Monitor, expanding the functionalities of their civic space rating maps and making them embeddable on third-party/partner websites.

We've also offered UX consultancies and developed their online annual report model with them.

Level73 has been the driving force behind the most innovative web features our organisation has seen in 30 years. Their work on monitor.civicus.org, particularly the ability for users to embed data and interactive maps into other websites, has been groundbreaking.

Global Detention Project

The Global Detention Project manages a large dataset, with complex and detailed information about detention in the whole world. We have repurposed their website to publish this information to the world, leveraging the APIs exposed by their backend. Over time, we've become more and more involved with their technological stack, and we've helped them expand, audit and refine their dataset and their information outlet.

Level73 is a personable, reliable, and insightful company. They have provided advice that has been both realistic and thoughtful, as well as efficient and effective at maximizing the output of our budget. I highly recommend them.
