Services
What we build and support.
Websites and Search
Professional websites designed, built, and optimized for search, so that the clients and partners looking for you find you, and find a site that reflects the standing of your firm.
Custom Applications
Web applications, client portals, and internal tools that replace spreadsheets, paperwork, and manual processes with systems designed around your operations.
Workplace Systems
The configuration of Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, including email, documents, device management, and data retention, so that the tools you already pay for work together.
Private AI Tools
AI tools that run locally or within your own environment, so that sensitive client and business information stays under your control.
Security and Recovery
Assessments that find vulnerabilities before they are exploited, hardening of accounts, devices, and networks, backup and recovery planning, and the restoration of systems and data when something goes wrong. We also offer custom cybersecurity-awareness training for staff.
Technology Support
Dependable, responsive support for your staff, devices, accounts, and software, from everyday problems to urgent ones, provided by someone who already knows how your systems are built.
About
Built to be kept.
Systems that are secure, reliable, and easy to maintain.
Holmvard Technologies is the software and technology practice of Holmvard Group. We build, secure, and support websites, applications, and systems for small and mid-sized businesses, law offices, and professional practices that have outgrown spreadsheets, paper, and disconnected tools.We begin with how your organization already works, not with a product to sell. Each system is scoped to the problem, built on reliable and well-supported technology, and documented so that it can be maintained by us or by anyone you choose.Security and privacy are part of the design from the start, not additions made after a problem. We hold every engagement in confidence. Our motto, Consilio et Fide, means “by counsel and good faith.”
Our method
How a project proceeds.
Discovery.
Every project opens with a study of how the work is done today: the people involved, the steps they take, the tools they use, and where time, money, and security are at risk. Before anything is built, we agree on what the system must do and how its success will be measured.Demonstration.
Before full development, we build a working prototype so that you can see and use the system, test it against real cases, and request changes while they are still inexpensive to make.Development.
We build in stages, with regular reviews, on well-supported platforms. Access controls, security, backups, and data retention are designed in from the start, and every system is documented.Stewardship.
We train your staff, support the launch, and remain your point of contact for support, security, and improvements as your organization grows.
