Six Apart

Six Apart is a software company best known for creating the Movable Type blogware, TypePad blog hosting service, and Vox. In practice that means building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Blogging Platforms, Collaboration, News and Publishing, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Six Apart is based in New York, New York and founded in 2001. Their site is sixapart.com.
