What we do

Web Design

Sites that load fast and work for everyone. When we're done, you choose: keep us on to handle updates, or take the reins yourself. We'll make sure your team knows how.

  • New sites and redesigns
  • Forms that feed straight into your inbox, email list, or Salesforce
  • Accessible on every screen, built on WordPress so your team can edit it

You own the site, the content, and the domain.

Apple Apps

Focused apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, without the bloat.

  • iPhone and iPad apps
  • Native Mac apps
  • Hooks into the tools you already use

No servers to rent. Your data stays in your own iCloud.

Salesforce Administrator

All the value of a Salesforce Administrator, without adding one to payroll. We automate the busywork so your team can focus on customers, donors, and members.

  • Automations that handle follow-ups, reminders, and approvals for you
  • Clean data and reports you can actually trust
  • Setup and support for Nonprofit Cloud and small business editions

Plain-English support, with training for your team.

How we work

From first call to handoff

Every project follows the same four steps, so you always know what's next.

  1. Talk it through

    A conversation about your organization, your team, and what's slowing you down.

  2. Plan and design

    A clear plan and a design you can react to before anything gets built.

  3. Build and test

    We build it, test it on real devices, and walk you through it as it comes together.

  4. Launch and hand off

    We launch and train your team. Then you choose: keep us on, or take the reins.

About

Big-company experience, small-team pace.

CWS Strategies is a woman-owned Kentucky firm. We've run technology for organizations with hundreds of users, and we bring that same playbook to teams of five, fifty, or five hundred, at a price that fits a small budget.

Our Salesforce Administrator work comes from years of running Salesforce for a national wholesale business: hundreds of field reps, thousands of retail stores, and the automations that keep it all moving.
