Develop a new plugin or adapt one you already use. Add features and integrations tailored to the way your business works.

Our name has a history.
Our work keeps evolving.
2012Journal & publishing software
2015Oxwall & SkaDate development
TodayFocused, independent development
We started by building tools to share knowledge. Today, we help build platforms that connect people.
CrowdJournals began in 2012, developing journal and publishing software. Our name reflects those roots: helping people publish ideas, exchange knowledge, and connect.
Since 2015, our work has included developing and customizing Oxwall and SkaDate websites and apps. That experience informs how we approach each project, from a design improvement or custom plugin to a wider platform change.
One project from our early years, ThePostdoctoral.com, evolved into ScientificContacts.com ↗ and continues today.
