Evolved Development came about due to a lack of suitable full time work, a reasonable amount of smaller contracts and the good fortune of having met Dave Lane of Egressive which is one of the Effusion Group companies.

Primarily Evolved Development is a web development company with a focus on PHP, Drupal based sites, and web hosting. We also have the capability to develop your site from the ground up or extend your existing site to fit your needs.

Dave has worked with open source for ages, since before Ubuntu was a twinkle in Mark Shuttleworth's eye! He's handy with Drupal, and dangerous with Emacs.
