About Resource Forge

Resource Forge LLC is a micro-business founded in 2002 by Bart Niedner. Our roots are in building sites and systems for small businesses and not-for-profit organizations— organizations that need cost-effective solutions tailored to their specific needs.

Over two decades, we've evolved from custom backend development into creating our own digital products. Today, Resource Forge is home to innovative software that empowers writers and storytellers, while continuing to offer custom solutions for clients who need software that works the way their business actually operates.

We believe that out-of-the-box solutions often force you to change your business practices to fit software limitations. That's not a recipe for success. When you need something custom, we build what you want at a price you can afford.

What Our Clients Say

"Bart is a visionary with results. He implements his ideas in a way that is simple, concise, and creative. You will never doubt that he understands your needs and wants."
— Melissa Borchardt, Dean of Enrollment Management, Ranken Technical College

"Bart is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. His creativity, resourcefulness and ability to see a project through really make his projects distinctive and successful."
— Austin Priest, Senior Application Developer, Mercy Hospital & Healthcare

"Bart completely revamped our database and made it web-accessible, so that members across the country could keep their own information current. This was quite an undertaking, given the size of the membership (120,000) and the unique, multilayered structure of the Society. All this at bargain basement prices."
— Bob Duplantier, former National Director of Membership/Technology Services, Society of St. Vincent de Paul
