About Edit Websites
Our iKnow and Edit platforms are trusted by 1,000s of organisations across the UK to help them communicate, stay organised, and support their mission.

We started off working with churches but now work with many different types of charities across the UK. Our software includes our Edit website builder and our iKnow admin software that is available in a number of different brands. This past year we have launched safeguarding software that we are told is market leading for managing concerns and checks. We want to continually build new features and support our growing customer base. At our heart, we’re a small, dedicated team who care deeply about creating tools that empower our charities to flourish.
