Core specialist platforms

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.

02 / What we do

A full suite of digital platform services.

  • Drupal 10 Development

    Governed CMS platforms for complex organisations with multiple departments and user roles.

  • WordPress Development

    Fast, well-structured WordPress builds for organisations that need editorial simplicity without sacrificing quality.

  • Headless CMS & React

    Decoupled Drupal 10 with React frontends for modern, high-performance digital experiences.

  • UX & Information Architecture

    User journey mapping, wireframes and IA, designed before a line of code is written.

  • Accessibility Auditing

    WCAG 2.1 AA compliance testing and remediation. Accessible platforms built as standard.

  • Content Migration

    Structured migration of existing content, audited and executed without data loss or SEO damage.

  • Digital Strategy Consultancy

    Helping organisations think clearly about their digital direction before committing to a build.

  • Ongoing Support & Maintenance

    Structured post-launch support covering updates, security, monitoring and continuous improvement.

03 / Who we work with

Sectors we know well.

  • Charities & Non-Profits

    Organisations doing important work deserve a platform that reflects it. We understand the governance, budget constraints and multi-stakeholder complexity that charities navigate.

  • Cultural & Religious Institutions

    Large community-facing organisations with multiple departments, diverse audiences and a need for governed, scalable content management.

  • Professional Membership Bodies

    Regulatory and membership organisations that need complex integrations, member portals and content that serves multiple professional audiences.

  • Education

    From universities to schools, we build platforms that serve students, staff and the public, with the accessibility standards and content governance that education demands.

04 / How we work

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.

Hybrid waterfall–agile

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
  • PID and SOW sign-off
  • MoSCoW prioritisation
05 / Why Rational Solutions

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 specialists doing the work, from kick-off to handover.
