Skvare is an established team of website and CiviCRM experts. We are techie geeks at heart. Some would call us very square, though with some quirks.

Skvare (pronounced "square") is a team of CMS (Drupal), CRM (CiviCRM), and Learning Management (Drupal-based LMS & LRS) experts that specialize in building online presence, community management, and online learning tools for non-profit organizations, professional societies, membership-driven associations, and educational institutions. Square and uneven.

If your organization serves people in more than one country, an English-only website sends a quiet message about who it's actually built for.

For the Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community, that gap was worth closing. GCTLC connects educators, researchers, and students across 175 institutions worldwide. We added multilingual support using GTranslate on Drupal — six languages alongside English, with a language switcher that drops right into the existing site design.

One detail that made a real difference: we applied the translation widget to both the public site and the admin theme. That meant educators writing and submitting content in their native language could actually use the forms they needed most. A French-speaking teacher submitting a lesson plan shouldn't have to navigate an English-only interface to contribute their work.

When someone asks an AI tool a question your organization could answer — are you showing up?

Most organizations have invested in good content and solid SEO. But AI search works differently. Tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overview pull answers directly from web content, often without the user ever clicking a link. If your site isn't structured in a way those tools can easily read, your content may be invisible in those results.

The fixes are practical and mostly one-time. We put together a plain-language guide covering what "AI-ready" actually means, what to do first, and why it doesn't require starting over on your existing SEO work.

When a member changes their billing plan, what actually happens in your system?

If you're using CiviCRM with a payment processor like Authorize.Net, the membership record updates — but the old recurring subscription often doesn't stop. Members end up charged twice, and staff have to catch it manually.

We wrote up how we solved this for Rigpa US with a custom CiviCRM extension that handles every membership transition automatically. It's a technical post, but the problem it solves is one a lot of membership organizations run into.

Managing programs across multiple regions requires more than shared access.

For the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, we built a federated system that supports membership, training, funding, and reporting across seven Regional Medical Libraries.

The result is clearer governance, stronger privacy controls, and measurable program impact.

CiviCRM scheduled jobs handle a lot of critical work — sending renewal notices, processing donations, importing data, generating receipts.

When one fails, nothing announces it. The job just stops. By the time someone notices, members haven't received emails, receipts are missing, and your team is scrambling to figure out what broke and when.

We built the Job Status Checker extension to catch that before it becomes a problem. It monitors your scheduled jobs every 24 hours and sends an alert — by email or right in the CiviCRM UI — the moment something goes wrong.

Catch the problem before your constituents do.

Here's a question worth asking about your membership website: what does a non-member see when they visit your member benefits page?

For most organizations, the answer is either nothing — or everything, with no reason to join.

For AACT, we built something in between. Non-members can browse the full list of discount programs and partner benefits. But the instructions for actually accessing each benefit? Those are for members only. When someone clicks to learn more, they land on a join page instead.

It's a small design decision with a real conversion impact. And because it's connected to CiviCRM membership data, it updates automatically when someone joins or renews.

Here's a quick accessibility check: how many H1 tags does your website use per page?

If the answer is more than one — or if your team uses heading tags because they make text look bigger — your site structure may be creating barriers for people who use screen readers, voice control, or keyboard navigation.

Header tags are how assistive technology users navigate a page. A properly structured page lets them jump directly to the section they need. A poorly structured one forces them to read everything from the top.

We wrote a plain-language guide explaining how header tags work, why they matter, and what good structure actually looks like. Worth a read if you're responsible for any web content.

When you're delivering meals to homebound neighbors every day, the last thing your team needs is extra administrative work.

Kitchen Angels was managing donations through third-party tools and manually entering records into a separate CRM. We migrated their donor database into WordPress, connected everything, and replaced Constant Contact with CiviMail — all in one project.

Now donations track automatically, emails go out from the same system, and staff can update the site without calling for help. Less time on data entry. More time on the mission.

Managing public health grants across multiple regions is complicated. Different funders want different reports. Member libraries have different needs. Data ends up scattered across spreadsheets and disconnected systems.

That was the challenge for the Network of the National Library of Medicine. NNLM supports libraries and community health partners across the country — and they needed a way to track grant activity, manage member data, and report to funders without constant manual work.

We built a unified open-source platform using Drupal and CiviCRM. Now NNLM's team can see activity across every region in one place, run funder-specific reports without extra steps, and keep member data accurate without duplication. When your systems are connected, the work gets easier.

Here's something we hear a lot from nonprofit teams:

"We have the data. We just don't have time to dig through it."

That's usually not a time problem. It's a systems problem.

When reporting requires manual exports, spreadsheet cleanup, and a separate tool just to see a summary — your team will avoid it. And when they avoid it, decisions get made on instinct instead of information.

The fix isn't more data. It's better access to the data you already have.

We help organizations build reporting directly into their platforms — so the right numbers are visible to the right people without extra work.
