We build cool stuff.

Handcrafted. Mother approved.
Need Drupal? WordPress? Want to break up with an archaic CMS? Or, like us, you need to craft a custom application which meets your specific needs, can ensure security and keep your site(s) safe and running? You've found the right team.

Development

Your idea, our code. Off-the-(virtual)-shelf software rarely does exactly what you need. That is why we listen to your needs and can build just about any web based application. Or if you prefer a Drupal or WordPress solution we can accommodate!

Hosting

Serious solutions without fancy marketing or arcane overage charges. From web clusters to private email to files, productivity and messaging suites we have hosted solutions to keep you productive and your information private.

Privacy

If something is free you are the product. All of our services are free of data mining so your information is protected. We provide secure, private open source solutions that keep your data safe.

Not your average development agency

More than just Design & Development
We also host complex site and database clusters and provide hosting for open-source email, collaboration, office/productivity, file sharing, password hosting, version control and much, much more.

wmd.social Powered by Mastodon

The features of Twitter without compromising your ethics
Powered by Mastodon, WMD Social gives you the benefits of Twitter without all the evil. No algorithms or ads to waste your time. Follow anyone across any Mastodon server from a single account and receive their posts in chronological order, and make your corner of the internet a little more like you.

Mastodon puts decision making back in your hands. Each server creates their own rules and regulations, which are enforced locally and not top-down like corporate social media, making it the most flexible in responding to the needs of different groups of people. Join a server with the rules you agree with, or host your own.

"Modern cars are a privacy nightmare."

From Mozilla: "We reviewed 25 car brands in our research and we handed out 25 “dings” for how those companies collect and use data and personal information."

• 84% share or sell your data
• 92% give drivers little to no control over their personal data
• Nissan can collect “sexual activity” & Kia says they collect info about your “sex life”. Others collect genetic characteristics.

WMD DNS

Revolutionary DNS Management
To protect the privacy of our clients we can not give just anyone access to all of the domain names that we manage.

And we made a standalone site for the public at wmddns.com

Google agrees to destroy browsing data collected in Incognito mode

They said the quiet part out loud. For a long time we have had little trust in Google. As the saying goes, “if something is free, you are the product” and that is especially true for one of the worst offenders when it comes to privacy. Google Docs, Sheets and Chrome are all great products […]

This morning we received word of a new Terms of Service from one our infrastructure providers, Vultr, owned by Constant.com. Within their TOS they outline that they claim ownership of any content that is placed on their servers. An excerpt from the new TOS (which we have NOT agreed to) is below: ==== information, text, […]

Real quotes, fake people and cats.

All cats generated from ThisCatDoesNotExist.com, people from ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com.

The random photos of non-existent cats and people were used during development and we thought it was better than nagging folks to submit a photo, so we rolled with it. Check back each day for new photos of cats and people that do not exist. If you don't find this even slightly funny or amusing we're sorry you are that way.
