Software for Aberystwyth businesses
Aberystwyth is a university and market town on the Cardigan Bay coast, and the main centre for mid Wales. Its economy is built on education, research, public institutions and the rural economy around it, with tourism adding seasonal activity.
Aberystwyth University is the largest employer. Its Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS) is known for plant breeding, grassland and crop research, and has developed grass and oat varieties widely used by farmers. AberInnovation, the Aberystwyth Innovation and Enterprise Campus at Gogerddan, supports businesses in agri-tech, food and drink, and bio-refining, with specialist facilities for research and product development. Firms here need data handling, lab and trial records, and MVP builds for new products.
The town is home to the National Library of Wales, one of the UK's legal deposit libraries, and Ceredigion County Council is based in Aberystwyth. Public bodies and cultural organisations need digitisation, archive and collection tools, bilingual websites and accessible web apps. Welsh is widely spoken across Ceredigion, so bilingual software is often expected.
Farming is central to the surrounding economy, with dairy, beef and sheep farms supported by agricultural merchants, vets, auctioneers and contractors. Tourism around Cardigan Bay, the Vale of Rheidol Railway and the Cambrian Mountains supports hotels, caravan parks and holiday lets. Bronglais Hospital is a key employer for a wide rural area.
Aberystwyth projects we would expect to quote for include:
- Trial and research data platforms for agri-tech businesses
- Collection, archive and digitisation tools for cultural organisations
- Ordering and customer account systems for agricultural merchants
- Bilingual booking systems for holiday lets and caravan parks

How we work with Aberystwyth clients
We work remotely from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, using video calls, shared staging sites you can click around in and short build stages you can see. Every project gets a fixed-price quote after a free initial chat and a short scoping stage. You own the code and the data. We have been building software and integrations for UK businesses since 2006.
Free chat
Tell us the problem in plain English: what you do now, what goes wrong and what "better" looks like. No charge, no obligation.
Scoping
We map the processes, systems and data involved, agree what is in and out, and write it down so there are no surprises.
Fixed-price quote
You get a fixed price for the agreed scope, or a phased plan for bigger builds, so you can start small and prove it works.
Build and test
We build in short stages you can see and try, test against real data, then go live carefully with a rollback plan.
Hand over and look after
You own the code and the data. We can host it, support it and keep improving it, or hand it to your own team.

Frequently asked questions
Can you build a data platform for field trials or research?
Yes. dijitul builds systems that record trial designs, plots, treatments and measurements, import data from instruments or spreadsheets, and produce analysis-ready exports and dashboards. Access controls keep collaborator and commercial data separate.
Do you cover Machynlleth, Aberaeron, Cardigan and Lampeter?
Yes. We work remotely, so businesses in Machynlleth, Aberaeron, Cardigan, Lampeter and across Ceredigion and mid Wales get the same process: a free chat, a scoping stage, and a fixed-price quote.
Can you build a bilingual website or portal for a public body?
Yes. We build bilingual Welsh and English sites and portals to WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility guidelines, with content managed in both languages side by side. Your team or translators supply the Welsh text, and we make sure it is handled properly throughout.
