Navigate Initiative

NI Supporter Profile: Devart

Devart's founder shares why supporting the Navigate Initiative aligns with his team's core values.

The Navigate Initiative depends on supporters who believe in the power of fresh starts. One of these supporters is the Christchurch-based web development company Devart.

Founded by Aaron Ball, Devart brings together a skilled team of developers creating digital solutions for businesses. Aaron has nearly two decades of experience in web development, and his approach to both technology and people has shaped the culture at Devart.

The team specialises in custom web applications, progressive web apps, and mobile solutions using modern technologies like Laravel and SilverStripe. They work as an extension of their clients' businesses, bringing online visions to life with open source and modern technologies.

What sets Devart apart is their commitment to people. They are not just in it for the paycheck. They want to leave a lasting impact on their clients and their team. By investing in their people and creating a platform for growth, they are fostering talent, creativity, and empathy. Their mission is to help their people thrive in their careers and make a positive mark on the industry. As they put it, happy people make for happy work.

For Devart, being part of an initiative that helps to make our community safer is a natural extension of the values that guide their work. "I've spent my career helping people build new skills and find their path in tech. Pathway does something similar but on a much bigger scale, helping people rebuild their lives. Supporting the Navigate Initiative felt like a natural fit, and it's been really fulfilling to be able to positively impact people's lives in ways that go beyond writing code."

We are happy to recommend Devart to anyone looking for web development services. You can learn more about their work at devart.nz.
