Rational Solutions Limited is a boutique web development agency specialising in Drupal and WordPress. We work with organisations that need a properly architected, well-governed digital platform, not just a website that looks good on launch day.
Every engagement is led by an experienced specialist from day one, through discovery, design, build and beyond. You always deal directly with the people doing the work.
We combine the rigour and process of a large agency with the personal attention that only a specialist boutique can offer.
Specialist services, end to end.
Drupal & WordPress Development
Drupal 10 and 11 for complex, multi-editor organisations; WordPress where simplicity matters. We recommend the right one for you.
Drupal 7 & Content Migration
Moving off Drupal 7 or an ageing CMS: content audited and migrated without data loss or damage to your search rankings.
Accessibility Auditing
WCAG 2.2 AA testing and remediation for existing sites. Every platform we build is accessible as standard.
UX & Information Architecture
User journeys, wireframes and content structure, agreed before a line of code is written.
CMS & Editor Training
Hands-on training and written guides, so your team can publish confidently without calling a developer.
Search & Performance
Technical SEO built in: fast pages, clean structure, structured data and Search Console set up, so people can find you.
Ongoing SEO & Reporting
Monthly search reporting, keyword and content recommendations, and technical fixes, so your visibility keeps growing after launch.
Support & Maintenance
Security updates, monitoring and steady improvements after launch, with a named person who knows your platform.
Sectors we focus on.
Where we do our best work. If your organisation needs a well-governed platform, whatever your sector, we'd like to hear from you.
Charities & Non-Profits
Platforms that make every pound count. We understand the governance, tight budgets and many stakeholders that charities work with.
Professional Membership Bodies
Regulatory and membership organisations that need member areas, integrations and content for several professional audiences.
Community & Cultural Organisations
Busy calendars, donations, volunteers and diverse, often multilingual audiences, with governance that works for trustees and staff.
Education
Platforms that serve students, staff and the public, with the accessibility standards and content governance that education demands.
A process built to protect both sides.
Every project follows our documented seven-phase delivery framework: a hybrid of waterfall rigour and agile flexibility. Nothing is skipped under time pressure. Nothing is left to verbal agreement. You have a named sign-off at every milestone before we proceed.
phase 1 of 7: Discovery & Requirements
We start with a kick-off workshop to understand your organisation, users and goals, then agree scope and priorities in writing.
What happens
- Kick-off workshop
- Project plan (PID) and statement of work (SOW) signed off
- Priorities agreed as must, should, could and won't have (MoSCoW)
What makes us different.
We're built differently to most agencies, and that shows up in how projects actually run, not just how we talk about them.
You deal directly with the specialist doing the work, from kick-off to handover. No account managers in between.
A project plan, a statement of work, weekly updates and formal sign-off at every milestone. Nothing left to verbal agreement.
Clear inclusions, clear exclusions, clear assumptions. No hidden surprises mid-project.
Every go-live includes redirect mapping, canonical checks and SEO verification, protecting your existing search performance from day one.
We want to be your digital partner for years, not just the agency that built your website once.
Let's build something that lasts.
