Joinery and CiviCRM

Joinery is a Supporting Partner of CiviCRM, and proud of it.

I’ve been implementing CiviCRM solutions for clients since 2009, and have been very pleased with the value CiviCRM continues to provide to my clients – primarily professional association and other membership-driven organizations.

CiviCRM is one of Joinery's primary offerings because it provides so much that many clients need right out of the box, without a line of custom code. And when I do need to extend CiviCRM for a client's unique needs, its robust extensibility allows me to add features that would be impossible in other systems.

I’m a regular contributor of open-source software including Drupal modules, CiviCRM extensions, and features and bug-fixes in CiviCRM core. I’m also a regularly participant in code development sprints with the CiviCRM core team and part of the CiviCRM Extensions Working Group.

Joinery's contributions to CiviCRM include these extensions:

And numerous contributions to CiviCRM core.

Joinery Hosting and Data Portability

Although it’s not advertised, I do offer hosting services for some clients with whom I have a close support relationship, where we both agree it’s a good fit. (In other words, Joinery’s hosting services are not exactly “open to the public.”)

For sites that Joinery does host, clients can rest assured they always have the option to take their data and content with them, if they should decide to host their site elsewhere, as described in this simple Data Portability Policy:

These items are fully owned by you, and we'll make sure you can take them with you.

These items either don't exist or are proprietary to Joinery. Creation or release of these items may be available for a fee. Please ask if you're unsure what these items cover.

CiviCRM is an open source software application that actively promotes your control and ownership of your own data and software infrastructure, as a feature and as a benefit.

As a CiviCRM partner in support of this ideal, Joinery will adhere to this Data Portabilty Policy for all sites which Joinery hosts, in the event that the client decides to host their site elsewhere.

Your data and your CRM are yours. We'll make sure you can always take them with you.

“We received terrific service and value. Allen is fantastically responsive and communicative, and able to quickly comprehend non-developer explanations of nuanced fundraising needs in a way that others clearly did not.”
