Home Page | Security, Insights, and Results for your Drupal or WordPress Website

Our Philosophy

Since 1999, we've built on open source — not as a compromise, but as a conviction. Drupal and WordPress give you world-class technology that's community-owned, battle-tested, and constantly improving. You get all the power of the best platforms on earth without funding a VC's exit strategy or locking yourself into a vendor who can change the rules overnight. The playing field is level. We help you win on it.

What keeps site owners up at night

Is my site protected?

Outdated modules are the #1 attack vector for Drupal and WordPress sites. Most breaches exploit vulnerabilities that already have a patch — one that just never got applied.

Security & Maintenance

What happens when something breaks?

Downtime doesn't send a calendar invite. Without proactive monitoring and a team who knows your stack, you're finding out about problems the same time your visitors are.

Protection Plans

Who do I call when I need help?

Ticket queues and generalist contractors aren't enough when your site is the front door to your mission, your clients, or your revenue. You need experts who already know your site.

We support WordPress. We love Drupal. We'll be honest about the difference.

We've maintained hundreds of WordPress sites and we know exactly what can go wrong — plugin conflicts, update roulette, security gaps, and a sprawling ecosystem with no guardrails. We're genuinely good at keeping WordPress running well.

When clients are ready for more structure — better content modeling, tighter permissions, a platform built for serious teams — we help them see what Drupal offers. Not as an upsell. As an honest conversation about where they're going.

Either way, you're not locked in and you're not alone.

Vibe-coding versus Open Source - Security over the long haul

Vibe-coding is all the rage today. Who needs a developer when you can get an AI to develop an application for you? There are scads of application development tools now that promise to create that app you always wanted -- and surprisingly, these often work!

Easy unit testing with Drupal Flake and AI - Group PURL, a case study

AI does not replace system engineering. Stories abound about AI running amok, deleting production databases, exposing private data, failing to deliver on promises.

You have been one of the most responsive consultants that I've had to the opportunity to work with. Not only are you doing a great job with our maintenance plan but by sharing your steps of action, it only strengthens your ability and commitment to the client. Thank you Freelock!

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

I wanted to touch base and thank you for your team’s quality work on the FHCRC eagle-i connection project.  The system is live and in production – pushing our Drupal content automatically to Harvard’s system. We’re very grateful for all the efforts your crew put into this project! Freelock is on my speed dial for future projects!

— Ann Marie Clark

UW Center for Reinventing Public Education

Freelock has a deep bench in all things Drupal, but beyond the technical skills they also offer the much-appreciated ability to ask the right questions, articulate issues, and offer strong solutions. They were a true partner that went the extra mile amidst shifting priorities and deadlines. I look forward to a continued working relationship with the team at Freelock.

— Deborah Gassner

Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission

As the coordinator for the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission, I direct staff and contractors in projects for the OPTC, including the contractor selection, design and build of the new website. Freelock was chosen and did the work as expected with great results. I heartily recommend them for other work of this nature. Their customer service and personal approach sets them apart from the crowd.

— Diane Shostak, Executive Director

Again, good job on the site. Unfortunately, most people won't be able to tell just how cool it really is. There is definitely a better look and feel on the outside, but where it really shines is under the hood. In today's world of crappy software vendors who provide crappy products and next to zero service at premium prices, it's refreshing to work with someone who is honest, thorough, reasonable and willing to do what it takes to meet the customer's needs.

— Eric Leung, Director of Information Systems

Your website works hard. We make sure it never stops.
