Ratio Web

A cooperative of web developers and designers

Based in Poland, Ratio Web brings developers, designers and front-end specialists together in one cooperative. It has worked since 2010 on digital products, and it describes its way of working as one without a management hierarchy or unnecessary procedures. The team is self-organised and works in a friendly atmosphere, which it says suits both its members and its clients.

Agile delivery inside or alongside a client's team

The cooperative uses Scrum and other agile methods to build products of the highest value. It can develop a product entirely inside its own team, or it can work alongside a client's in-house team. The firm says it looks for interesting and ambitious projects that give its specialists new challenges, and its main goal is to deliver products that clients want and that the team is proud of.

Technologies behind the products

The firm names Drupal, Symfony, Vue.js, AngularJS, Node.js, Grav CMS, Webpack, Gulp, Sass, Behat, PHPUnit, Docker and GitLab CI among its tools. Its core strength is PHP and Drupal, where its developers work on custom builds and digital experience platforms, and where it also offers consultancy and training for PHP and Drupal developers.

Open source and community work

Open source is central to the cooperative. It contributes to Drupal modules and to Drupal core, supports the wider community, and helps organise DrupalCamp events. It says it likes to help non-governmental organisations make a better future, and that its contribution to open source is part of how it expresses that commitment.

Services and recent projects

The core services are custom development, Drupal digital experience platforms, UX and UI design, and support and maintenance for products already in use. Recent projects shown include a fundraising platform for the WWF Pomagam campaign, a new website for the Panoptykon Foundation, a new site for an art academy in Wroclaw named after Eugeniusz Geppert, a site for an online database of Polish culture, a custom CRM for an HR technology firm, and technical support for a large scouting organisation.
