The biggest fear for any person, business or organisation about getting online is that they will need to invest in some new IT skills or (heaven forbid) an actual IT person to help them do it. But if the Internet is about freedom of communication, shouldn’t everyone be able to get involved without this fear?

If you can use a word processor, you can manage one of our DIY Websites.

Our DIY websites are a solution in a box to this problem. You can completely configure, manage and update your own website, using software that runs in your web browser and acts in much the same way as a word processor. This gives you the freedom to put online anything you want to - your homepage, your business, your club, your charity, your organisation… the list goes on. You can quickly and easily deploy features such as discussion boards, image galleries, calendars, and you can maintain your website yourself without paying an IT technician or a web designed to do it for you.

How Does it Work?

The DIY Website service costs just £9.99 a month, and includes hosting of your website and free technical support. Contact us now, and your DIY website will be created on our servers the same day. Online signup coming soon!

Case Studies

www.portishead-lat.org.uk is the website for the Local Action Team in Portishead, North Somerset. This is a community group that cooperates with the police on tackling local social issues. The secretary of the group keeps the website up to date with details of meetings and the latest minutes. “It’s just like using Word,” she says, “and it’s great for keeping the community informed about what the LAT is doing.”

www.stpeters-psa.org.uk is run by the parents and volunteers of the Parent School Association of St. Peter’s Primary School. It’s a great way to keep parents informed about upcoming activities and fundraisers that are being organised, and helps everybody to stay in touch.
