The Interaction Consortium is a software studio specialising in beautiful digital design and technically fearless system architecture and integrations.

We build and maintain outstanding websites and digital platforms, using technology that grows and evolves as you do.

Oh, and we built a little something called GLAMkit, a leading open-source CMS for the Cultural Sector loved by museums worldwide.

Let's work together.
