# Digidrop > A UK development team specialising in Drupal, Laravel and Next.js. We build websites, web and mobile applications, plan the architecture behind them, and support and host them once they are live. Digidrop has worked with the BBC, the Metropolitan Police, the National Theatre, the University of Surrey, National Grid, Travelopia, Toyota and CNN. We build on open source and give back: Drupal Association members, contributing patches, modules and time to the Drupal, Laravel and wider PHP and JavaScript communities.
