Who we are

Born in 2005, aptitude (Aptitude Digital) is a Halifax, Nova Scotia–based Drupal web design, development, and managed services agency. We build and run high‑performance enterprise websites and keep them secure and scalable with proactive maintenance and container‑based hosting on Azure and AWS. Our goal is simple: deliver business value through expert technology, long‑term partnerships, and a great client experience.

Our team

We’re a small, diverse group of technologists, designers, analysts, and DevOps specialists who enjoy solving real problems for real people. We work from home, stay closely connected over video and chat, and keep projects on time and on budget with experienced project managers and business analysts. With more than 15 years of enterprise Drupal experience and millions of annual end users across our clients’ sites, we bring calm, senior execution to complex builds and ongoing optimization.
