About Us

Alder Consulting was founded in 2001 by Laura S. Quinn to help nonprofits create affordable and powerful technology solutions. Alder is a collaboration between Laura, independent contractors, and other companies. When needed, partners are selected specifically for each development project. This arrangement ensures proven team members for every project without passing you the overhead costs needed to keep all of these people on salary.

About Laura S. Quinn

Laura has designed strategic technology solutions for more than ten years. She specializes in helping clients - including many who have very little technology experience - turn a vague concept into an application that exceeds their goals while staying within their budget. Her background in project management, user-centered functional design, and nonprofit technology has been valuable to dozens of corporate and nonprofit clients including Wave Hill (www.wavehill.org), the New York Council for the Humanities (www.nyhumanities.org), the Prospect Park Audubon Center, the Mt. Sinai Adolescent Health Center (www.positiveyouth.org), the large Booksense.com ecommerce site (www.booksense.com), Intel, and British Airways.

Laura frequently speaks and publishes on nonprofit internet topics. Recent topics include Branding through Websites (at the 2006 and 2005 Nonprofit Technology Conferenceso), Websites on a Shoestring (at the 2004 NTEN Conference in New York), and Accepting Credit Cards Online – on a Shoestring (as part of the Technology on a Shoestring series of articles).
