Contextual Code

Contextual Code builds and runs large website platforms, with state government agencies as its main clients. The firm, which also traded as ThinkCreative, has been in the web business since 1995 and concentrates on the hard parts of content management projects: implementation, migration, integration and ongoing operation.

What Contextual Code offers

• CMS implementation — setting up enterprise web content management systems, which the firm treats as the step that decides whether a platform works for editors.
• Replatforming and migration — moving organisations off old systems, including converting unstructured legacy HTML content.
• Support and maintenance — steady incremental updates that cut risk and delay the need for full rebuilds.
• Hosting — managed hosting with full platform redundancy, run by its own web team.
• New builds — starting web projects from scratch or refreshing an existing web presence.

Who it works with

The firm mainly serves US state governments, though it says its CMS work suits any organisation whose content is central to its mission. Typical needs it handles include managing many sites from one system, multilingual and localised sites, complex user permissions and links to legacy platforms.
