Organization Profile

Agaric helps people create and use powerful web sites. As a collective of skilled workers, Agaric collaborates with you and free software communities to develop tools and build platforms for cooperation, that meet your needs.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the Agaric team.

If we are a great fit, it will likely be for one or a combination of these things:

Our experience with Drupal and other technologies we find applicable to solving real-world needs, such as Backbone.js
Our specialty in Drupal upgrades and migrations to Drupal
Our passion of creating collaborative networks that scale for companies and organizations which value openness and freedom
Something which cannot be defined in advance but which clicks when we discuss working together

We live and work to connect ideas, resources, and people. Our collective goal (which extends beyond our business) is the most power possible for all people over their own lives.
