What we believe about building software

  • Useful for free

    Every product starts with a free version that does real work. Pro adds more; it does not unlock the basics.

  • Built the WordPress way

    GPL-licensed, coded to WordPress standards and tested with each new WordPress release.

  • Your data stays yours

    Courses, bookings and customers live in your own database. We do not sit between you and your visitors.

  • Support from the makers

    Questions go to the people who build the products, not a script.

Talk to the people who build it

We are in Kathmandu, Nepal (UTC+5:45) and work with customers around the world. Messages are answered by the team, usually within two business days.
