The G7 United Kingdom official website has gone live and is already attracting a global audience thanks to Affinity, the Cornwall-based company that developed it. 

Working from offices in Truro and with a 16-year history in digital delivery, Affinity won a contract with the Cabinet Office last year to support and maintain a growing suite of services that use the WordPress platform. These range from websites and portals to applications and intranets. 

A big thank you to the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Growth Hub for sharing our good news story

CALLING CORNWALL. Where have all the developers gone...

A big thank you to Mairead Molloy of Berkeley International for bringing my interviews with her for Dukascopy Bank into reality

It is great to see James Macintyre’s (Affinity’s Technical Director)  comments on Article13 in this weeks Computer Weekly:

Affinity is trying to make a connection to the awesome young Cornish software and digitally creative talent that it knows is out there.  I have seen the talent myself from students as young as 15 in Penair, Richard Lander and Truro School. Let alone the next level of talent at Truro, Penwith and Camborne College!!

A great way to improve through experience is to learn from the mistakes of others. The best way is to learn from your own successes.

Our experience in developing and implementing intranet solutions has exposed us to a number of mistakes, many committed by others and, I must admit, a few by us. Along the way, We’ve also enjoyed a number of successes.

Mistake #1: Don’t Talk to Users

“I’m afraid of what they might say”

Recent notable cyber-attacks including TalkTalk and Ashley Madison serve as a critical reminder of the importance of securing your online environment.

In partnership with Affinitys Stratigic Partners Rackspace we have the expertise to help you get set up to be secure to keep your customers happy, protect your brand and your bottom line.

We did it! We are now the proud owners of not 1 but 2, internationally recognised ISO accreditations. A mammoth effort from the team, plus special thanks to Paul Jordan who has worked particularly hard to ensure that we achieved the ISO 9001 Quality Management Standard (QMS) and the ISO 27001 Information Security Management Standard (ISMS).
