Over the moon!

I can't express how happy I am with the platform they've created for me! It has exceeded my expectations. The product they've created is exceptional and Robert was a pleasure to work with. I'm very grateful for the empathetic, intuitive and professional customer service I received. I currently have access to their entry level offer and if that's anything to go by, their higher end options will be superb!

Made Open are nothing less than first…

Made Open are nothing less than first class! Their integrity, commitment and patience in building both the relationship with their clients and the actual community platform, means we have felt supported and listened too throughout our journey with them. The whole team always responds with a 'can do attitiude', a rare find in this day and age.They are experts in their field; but more importantly they care and value the contribution their platforms make to building a civil society,which is driven with an honest and genuine commitment to see communities not only survive but thrive. They are innovators in this arena and we are so glad we were signposted to them. This is just the beginning of what we see as an ongoing journey with Made Open, as they will always be responsive to requests and external change and are willing to adapt and deliver community platforms that are there to meet the communities changing needs. We see them as part of our own team now too!

Made Open have been nothing less than amazing.

Made Open have been nothing less than amazing. Over the last six months we've been building a new model for funding and Made Open's platform has been perfect for bringing different communities together in an online space. The functionality of the platform is exactly what we needed and it's great to know that there's so much more we can do with it. Just when you think things couldn't get any better, you also have the privilege of working with a team of highly talented, highly skilled and highly motivated people who will go out of their way to make sure you have a platform that you can be proud of.

Thank you!

Really enjoyed setting-up Connect RCT

Really enjoyed setting-up our Connect RCT site with Made Open. Great customer service and relationship management and always helpful. Only got a 4 as we are still developing the site and we need to further improve the user experience.

Excellent collaborators

As part of my role with the University of Bristol, I've been working with Made Open for about six months now on the development of a social infrastructure platform for Bristol. Robert Woolf has been extraordinarily helpful, smart and responsive, and I'm hoping the collaboration will continue for a long time to come.

MadeOpen and UNTAGGED

MadeOpen were extremely helpful and flexible in adapting their platform to enable us to pilot our clothes-swapping business UNTAGGED. They were really proactive and responsive and found solutions to ensure we could test as many aspects of our business model, as cost-effectively as possible. I would highly recommend them.

Fantastic company to deal with

I have worked with the Made Open for 5 years on digital engagement projects in Monmouthshire. A supportive and progressive company who have consistently gone above and beyond to support us. Their expertise is not only in digital but also in the implementation of community engagement strategies. The whole team are also really nice people which makes dealing with Made Open a pleasure.

Made Open Communications and their 'can do' approach

Age UK Cornwall and The Isles of Scilly have been working successfully with Made Open Communications for several years. Our partnership has really flourished and continues to grow with the development of Cornwall Link.

No job is ever a NO! Even when we ask for the impossible, the answer is always - we can do this!

It has been a pleasure to work with Made Open and their wonderful team - in recent months they have led the way in developing our COVID-19 support space, which has already helped so many people across Cornwall.

Simply put, they continue to push boundaries for the greater good - petitioning for social change, digital inclusion & connecting communities to improve health & wellbeing. We are proud to work with a organisation that shares our core values & principles.

Thank you

Working with Made Open a 5 star experience

Working with Made Open on the Can Do Bristol platform has been a really positive experience for us as a team. Perhaps what stands out most is the sense of trust and collaboration which we've experienced working with Robert and his team; it's not simply a case of a product or service being delivered, but the evolution of a strong working partnership in which shared goals are worked on together. We highly value Made Open's commitment to using digital technology for good, for their openness to innovation and their willingness to share and take on feedback respectively. A real pleasure to work with.

Made Open, Made Better

I have been working with Made Open for around 2 years and it is one of the most fruitful connections that I could have made. Not only are they technical experts in their field but their desire to use their products to advance social justice is unrivaled within the private sector. We asked them to translate their entire platform (a mammoth task) and they could have easily walked away but they took the job on, absolutely nailed it and it has been a huge success. I look forward to many more years of productive partnership.

Made Open ..a rare beast!

Made Open are quite unusual in that they are continually updating and innovating and don't seem to have learned the word NO when we ask for tweaks or new ways of doing things. Add strong social conscience and high tech standards and you have that rare beast....... a partner not a supplier! Go MO!!
