Building a Fairer Online Course Platform: Why We Built Achene on Cloudflare
Achene is an online course platform with no commission, no student caps and unlimited video bandwidth. Cloudflare is what makes the economics work.
Award-winning apps and websites, built in Wales
We're Tinkr Creative, a digital development studio based in Machynlleth. We design and build apps and websites from the ground up, with bilingual Welsh/English delivery and accessibility built in from the start. We work with heritage organisations, community groups, charities, and public sector bodies who need digital products that work for everyone, on any device, whatever the connection.
Starting a new project?
Whether it's a new app or a new website, the best results come from bringing us in early. We start with what your users actually need: the journeys they take, the languages they read, the devices and connections they rely on. Accessibility, performance, and bilingual content structures are designed in from day one, not audited at the end.
Have an existing project?
Already live? We can step into an existing app or website, audit its accessibility and performance, and set clear goals to keep it on track. With real user data and analytics, we can make targeted improvements rather than guessing.
Charity, public sector, or community organisation?
A lot of our work is with organisations serving a community: heritage sites, local authorities, community hubs, charities, and not-for-profits. Digital projects for these organisations need to be accessible to everyone, work in more than one language where it matters, and perform reliably whatever the device or connection. We usually offer a discounted rate for organisations like these, and can occasionally take on pro bono work. If that sounds like you, please get in touch.

Testimonials
I have worked with many amazing people and organisations
“As a small non-profit community project it was essential for us to work with a highly capable and deeply ethical technical advisor. Pete has been amazing, guiding us on the best software solutions and building us the most beautiful and effective website. He has listened carefully to our needs and desires and given us informed, clever and gorgeous solutions. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

“I couldn't recommend working with Pete more, his broad range of expertise meant he was an educated and considered advice on a range of key technical decisions regardless of the technology involved while his solid engineering principles ensured all solutions were robust, and helped to set the standard of those around him. It was a pleasure to work with Pete as his clear communication and professional demeanour made conversations easy whether they are technical deep dives or dealing with stakeholders.”
