What Agile Collective does

Agile Collective is a worker-owned digital agency (Agile Collective Limited, registered in England & Wales, company no. 07889401) founded in 2011 and headquartered at Makespace Central, 21b Park End Street, Oxford. It designs, builds, and supports Drupal-based websites for purpose-driven organisations, with a stated team of roughly 20 digital strategists, designers, developers, and project managers distributed across the UK, Italy, and Sweden. The company is a founder member of CoTech, a member of the Drupal Association, Co-ops UK, and workers.coop, and has been the lead technical partner on the LocalGov Drupal distribution since January 2020, collaborating with a growing number of UK local councils on code-sharing, accelerated development, and shared best practice.

The business operates on two revenue streams: project-based website design and development delivered in 2-week agile sprints (Scrum, Kanban, DSDM), and long-term website support and maintenance for existing Drupal clients. Pricing is custom and project-based rather than publicly listed. The core technology stack is the open-source Drupal CMS, complemented by UX, accessibility, SEO, analytics, and digital marketing capabilities, with no proprietary SaaS product or self-serve platform. The company is explicitly values-led: it self-selects clients whose missions align with environmental sustainability, social responsibility, equality, and human rights, and it refuses work that conflicts with those positions.

Customer segments are organised by vertical rather than size: non-profits and charities (primary), public sector organisations (notably local councils via LocalGov Drupal), educational institutions, and mission-driven commercial companies. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct consultative engagement, supplemented by community-led activity (Drupal meet-ups, conferences, open-source contributions) and event-driven outreach (Oxford Drupal User Group, school engagement, apprenticeships). There is no disclosed funding, no external investors, and no parent company; the co-operative owns and operates the business itself.

Core offering

Agile Collective is a worker-owned digital agency that designs, builds, and supports Drupal websites for purpose-driven organisations such as charities, NGOs, educational institutions, and public sector bodies. Project work is delivered in 2-week sprints using agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, DSDM), and the agency also provides long-term website support and maintenance, plus leadership of the LocalGov Drupal open-source distribution for UK local councils.

Product overview

Agile Collective is a worker-owned digital agency offering a comprehensive suite of services rather than a single unified product. Their core offerings span website design, development, and ongoing support—primarily built on the Drupal CMS platform. The company also serves as lead technical partner on the LocalGov Drupal project, a Drupal distribution designed for UK local councils that enables code sharing and collaborative development across multiple councils. Services are delivered by a multidisciplinary team of developers, designers, UX specialists, and project managers using agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, DSDM) in two-week sprints. The company does not offer a self-serve SaaS product but provides agency-style project-based and retainer services to purpose-driven organisations including charities, NGOs, educational institutions, and public sector bodies.
