Need Software Development or Optimization for your Nonprofit? You need an Acolyte...

Let’s face it, we all could use an extra hand with technology. It doesn’t take long to realize the technology used by your team might not be built for your team. That’s where we come in: whether starting from scratch, integrating existing workflows, or refreshing an old application, we will build, connect, and update your way to a better way that’s tailored to your team.

Our Development Services

We do a lot of things, so here are a few services to catch your eye.

Your organization is a unique and the world needs something special from you. That’s why cookie-cutter software doesn’t work. We build custom software applications that will solve problems for you and your clients.

A new application can be a hard transition on a team – especially in a world that expects everybody to be tech experts. With personal training workshops, we’ll make sure your team has a thorough understanding of what we build together. And we’ll be here for the long haul – available at any point to provide additional education and resources.

Stop worrying about maintenance. We built it and we can we handle it. An ongoing maintenance package will give you valuable time to focus on your mission and the peace of mind to do so without distraction.

Working hard and working smart don’t always happen at the same time. By reviewing your workflows, we’ll make sure they are on the same page.

Don’t get stuck with slow, outdated code. We’ll analyze your system and fix any rusty software.

We offer onsite or remote training sessions & workshops for those of you who want to take the development into your own hands.

Need help with deployment? As a FileMaker certified developer, Acolyte can assist with any software installations to get you working with your app.

Data isn’t always in the same place so we’ll help make sure it’s connected and available where you need it.

Accessing your data on the go is essential. By developing for Apple devices, we can make sure your data is always right at your fingertips.

Acolyte Applications is a small business, which means that every project is managed and coordinated by us. For years, we have helped non-profits, educators, and mission-focused businesses build applications that make the world a better place.

We treat every project with the same diligence and personal care. That’s the benefit of working with a small business – no matter your size, your project will receive careful attention from start to finish.

“Acolyte Applications designed a platform that met and surpassed the expectations we shared by anticipating challenges and finding solutions to shortfalls in the initial design in a very rapid response time. This has brought our non-profit to a new level and I am extremely proud to present the application to our team and other organizations!”

Michelle W.

Founder/Director

“Our database was partially constructed when we started working with Jonathan and yet he was easily able to pick up how the other developers designed the functionality not only to fix glitches on past work, but to build the database out further. Working with Acolyte Applications has enabled Rainforest Trust to fundamentally shift our approach to project management, allowing us to focus on a more streamlined process within our systems. This has dramatically improved the use of staff time and allowed for more efficient collaborations between teams.“

James L.

Director

“Jonathan is consistently learning and adapting to do whatever it takes to ensure our systems worked as efficiently as possible to maximize limited time. He has increased my productivity levels and made tasks that seemed tedious and cumbersome as easy as turning off the lights before you leave the house.”

David A.

Coordinator

“Jonathan is immensely familiar with and skilled at developing FileMaker databases, reports, and dashboards. But more importantly, he is exceedingly good at listening to our needs, understanding what we want (even though we are not database or FileMaker experts), and translating those discussions into useful tools and products. He speaks in plain, friendly, easy to understand language, and is simply an excellent communicator. More important than his technical skills, are his personal skills, which are quite literally the best I’ve ever seen from an information technology expert.“

Karl D.

Director of Science and Monitoring

“Jonathan is easy and fun to work with and makes developing a database a breeze. He is a wizard and his ability to make sense of our non-technical rambling and fix a problem or create a function that was taking us hours in mere minutes, sometimes just seconds, is invaluable.”

Felicia S

Officer

“Your relentless desire to help us achieve both our short and long term goals has resulted in the advancement of our programs allows for our team to direct our resources and execute processes in a most efficient manner.”

Gene D.

Director of Logistics

“Working with Acolyte Applications was one of the best consultant experiences I’ve had. The new app they created is so much better suited to our team; we finally have a program that works for us with the functionality we need it to have!”

Debbie P.

Program Director

“It’s one thing to work with a great developer or a great person, but a rare thing to work with someone who is both. The skillsets at Acolyte have assured me not only that our Data Management System is in good hands, but our staff is as well. I can proudly look to Acolyte Applications for any technical guidance advice on design and development direction.”

Marshall W.

CEO

“Our System was finally brought up to a more current version from the first generation that we had been working on for years! The user friendliness and the more aesthetic layout is much more pleasing to work with both visually and practically. It has indeed been a pleasure working with Acolyte. Love your energy and ability to knock these projects out of the park!”

Evelyn F.

Manager

“Jonathan is able to take a jumbled mess of an idea, make sense of it, and then apply that knowledge to better our technology and application. Sometimes, I do not even know if my ideas are possible but he hears me out and tells me how it can work!”
