World class communication and engagement platforms
Communities
With over 10 years in web development under his belt, David Yates specialises in building integrated website and mobile platforms for community-based organisations.
More than a window
We build platforms to put YOU in control and provide structured frameworks to connect, integrate and support the real world activities of your community. From event management to membership onboarding, private messaging, communications, friend connections, or arranging your next meeting, your website (not a facebook page or a third party service) can be the online hub of your community.
Connect
Your web and mobile platform should allow you to connect with your community…and for the community to connect with each other.
Engage
Connecting your community is only the first step…our platforms help you create more meaningful engagements…and enhance relationships across the community.
Enable
Our platforms enable communities to work together, socialise, interact, organise and get things done. We don’t replace real world interaction but help to bring communities closer together.
Grow
Our goal is to help communities grow – closer together and expanding membership and outreach to other stakeholders.
Welcome to
Helping communities of all shapes and sizes, connect, engage, grow and create a big impact online
David Yates
David is the founder and front for Web Services. With over 30 years experience in IT including 12 years building websites and mobile apps, I now specialise in more complex requirements with an emphasis on using the web as it was intended; a platform for engagement.
The community space is particularly interesting as it embraces so many types of organisation; charities, membership organisations and professional associations to business networks and our local communities. What is particularly appealing for me is seeing how the platforms I build facilitate and enhance the connection and engagement between members.
David is supported by a range of specialists who can provide custom development, design and copywriting services as required by each project.
Current Projects
Our approach to business is a little different. We create platform frameworks designed for the needs of particular sectors. These frameworks provide the foundation for the development of specific client needs. This process accelerates the delivery timeframe and allows us to get a detailed understanding of the needs of each of the sectors we work in.
Business Networks
Retirement Villages
Local Communities

From Our Clients
Our goal is to be your web partner for the life of your business – a role we take very seriously and our clients think so too.
“Recently, I engaged David to complete a rebuild of my site. The result is more than just a new website;….I now have a tool through which I can communicate and engage prospects directly from my website. I am only just beginning to take advantage of all the various tools I now have available to me through my website…..”
“One of the key challenges every business faces is using the functionality of the website to a higher purpose than just being a contact window.
David with his wealth of experience, creativity and never say “No” attitude brings to life your ideas and thoughts into functional pages.
His high energy, attention to detail and thinking ahead, is some of the words that come to my mind from my interactions with him”
