[HacktionLab] Activist friendly web/tech services

[Marcus Valentine]

Mike Harris and I run https://xtreamlab.net/ for this kind of thing. We
have a wordpress and drupal network installs. Users who require minimal
technical support get a good (ie cheap) deal.  If people require
significant support we need to charge for our time.

Best
