Commissioning Desk

Commissioning Desk is an independent publication for anyone responsible for buying, managing, or evaluating digital projects and technology suppliers. We cover the decisions that sit between the business case and the finished product — from writing an effective brief and choosing the right platform, to holding your current agency or hosting provider to a proper standard.

Every article is written by practitioners who’ve delivered the work, not commentators watching from the sidelines. No affiliate links, no vendor influence, no content that exists to sell you something. If we recommend an approach, it’s because we believe it’s the right answer for the reader — even when that answer is “you don’t need an agency for this.”
