Our story

The beginning

In 2002, our journey began as Artsgraphica in a spare bedroom with just one client. From these humble beginnings, Cursor has grown into a dynamic team of developers, engineers, and designers dedicated to crafting innovative digital solutions.

Growth

As demand for our services expanded, we moved to the Innovation Centre in Grimsby, and our team grew. We quickly embraced roles beyond web design, diving into web development and e-commerce.

Relocation

In 2010, our relocation to Lincoln marked a turning point, as we expanded into developing web apps and transactional websites - where our technical skills truly started to shine.

Success

In 2015, our expertise and dedication were recognised when we won the Lincolnshire Digital Business of the Year, the first in a series of awards we’ve proudly received. Rebranding from Artsgraphica to Cursor later the same year symbolised our ongoing commitment to technology and innovation.

Today

From our base at the Boole Technology Centre in Lincoln, we collaborate with organisations worldwide in the membership, education, and not-for-profit sectors, where our expertise in secure systems for managing personal data and enhancing user engagement sets us apart.

Future

As AI transforms the digital landscape, we remain focused on delivering tangible value - reducing administrative burden, boosting engagement, and enabling smarter decisions. By combining our sector expertise with cutting-edge technology, we continue to help membership and education organisations achieve more with less.

Specialist experience

Our expertise spans the unique intersections within these sectors, including professional bodies, educational charities, charitable status membership organisations, and not-for-profit membership organisations that unites all three purposes.
