A digital hub that supports your community

A well-designed community website helps your town or village:

• share what’s happening locally

• promote community groups and activities

• communicate plans, projects and progress

• welcome new residents

• attract visitors and support local businesses

Importantly, it also provides a clear, transparent platform that funders and partners can understand and trust.

I guide communities through the whole process — from early ideas and structure through to launch — and provide training so local volunteers can confidently keep the site up to date themselves.

Funding-ready and future-proof

Community websites are increasingly important when applying for grants and funding. A clear, well-structured site helps demonstrate:

• purpose and vision

• active community engagement

• governance and transparency

• Impact of funded projects

I’ve worked on projects where websites played a key role in supporting funding bids, community action plans and long-term development goals.

Examples of community websites

I’ve created community websites for villages, including Drymen and Bridge of Allan, both now used as central hubs for local news, events, organisations and visitor information.

These sites show what’s possible with a clear structure, simple tools and a focus on real community needs.

What a community website can include

Each site is tailored to the community, but features often include:

• events diary and community calendar

• local clubs, societies and services directory

• tourism and visitor information

• community council or development trust pages

• meeting minutes, agendas and documents

• news, updates and project announcements

• dedicated pages for local groups

• donation, membership or fundraising tool

Everything is designed to be easy to manage, accessible and inclusive.

Affordable and accessible

I offer discounted rates for charities, development trusts and not-for-profit organisations, with clear pricing and no unnecessary complexity.

The aim is always the same: to deliver a website that’s genuinely useful, sustainable and owned by the community — not something that becomes a burden to maintain.
