We help you to install CONSUL DEMOCRACY, an open-source project created in 2015 by Madrid City Council and developed in Ruby on Rails.
We will provide a ready-to-use application — installed in your own servers or an external one — customized with your brand and a verification system for your users.
Let us guide you.
We provide support via Slack on a private channel to resolve all your doubts about software configuration, setting values or the use of each feature. When we install your platform we give you access to documentation guides for users and administrators.
Also, we can create short video screencasts — in English and Spanish — explaining anything you need.
Your brand, your style.
CONSUL DEMOCRACY is fully customizable, that means you can choose your image logo, the main colors, the font typeface and the images based on your brand guidelines.
Change the navigation menu link, including new section, custom texts, and add as many pages you need.
New features? No problem, we develop for you.
Perhaps you need a new section or process type or you want to change the behavior of an existing one, we can help develop custom-made features.
One of the advantages of using open-source code is that it's easy to customize existing features or add new ones.
Welcome! We are Alberto García, UX/UI designer (decabeza) and Julián Herrero, Ruby on Rails developer (microweb10).
We have worked creating CONSUL DEMOCRACY since 2015, being part of the core team and developing Decide Madrid for the Madrid City Council. We have also provided technical support to many of the cities that use CONSUL DEMOCRACY all over the world.
Our goal is to help spreading citizen participation and open source software, not only in City Councils, but also in the Universities and Companies.
Therefore we create democrateam. Hello, democracy!
