Discourse As A Service

I provide Discourse forums As a bespoke Service, specialising in Healthcare- and Health Tech-related forums, but I will provide forums for any community. My customers often have a professional community and specific requirements regarding server location and data sovereignty (eg UK hosting) and most of my customers are related to the Health industry, although I will consider any projects.
