A proper website for your group, without the cost.
A local sponsor covers the cost of your website, so it is free to your group. You send me your updates once a week and I keep it fresh.
For your group
- Nothing to pay while a sponsor covers it
- Hosting and weekly updates included
- No contract, leave any time
- Your content stays yours
Groups that hold a community together
If your group serves local people and could use a good website, get in touch. Here are the kinds of group I am looking to support.
Village halls
Bookings, events and how to get in touch.
Clubs and societies
Sports clubs, hobby groups and local societies.
Charities and voluntary groups
Local causes that need to be found and understood.
Classes
Karate, dance, boxing, yoga and fitness classes.
Other community groups are welcome too. Small local businesses can apply as well: priority goes to community-style businesses, the kind that serve and support their local area, so tell me how yours does.
A site that just works
A fast, hand-built website that I look after for you. You never need to log in to anything.
The website
- Built and hosted by me, personally
- Clean, fast and mobile friendly
- Contact form, privacy and cookie policies
Weekly updates
Send me one batch of changes a week: news, events, photos, opening times. Send it by the end of Tuesday and I publish it between Wednesday and Friday that week.
Your sponsor, credited
A plain "Supported by" line shows who is helping keep your site online. It is good for them and shows local people the community is backed.
Nothing, while a sponsor covers it
Your website costs £20 a month to run, and one sponsor or several cover that. If your group would like to put something towards it, that counts towards the £20 and lowers what sponsors pay, but it is entirely optional and there is no obligation.
What I ask of your group
- Send updates in one batch a week
- Agree to credit your sponsor on the site
- Confirm you have permission for any photos, especially of children
- Keep your information accurate
From application to live site
The first three sites are being built free as a proof of concept. After that, groups are matched with sponsors as they come forward.
Apply
Tell me about your group, what it does and who runs it. It takes a few minutes.
I get in touch
I reply, usually the same day, to check it is a good fit and talk through what you need.
Match with a sponsor
I match you with sponsors, or add you to the waiting list and tell you where you are in the queue. Community groups and community-style businesses are matched first.
Site built, updates begin
I build your site, and from then on you send me your weekly batch of changes.
Tell me about your group
A short application is all it takes. There is no cost and no obligation to apply.
