For community groups, a website is an excellent form of communication. You can include information on how to contact your group, any details about meetings, fundraising events, your group's history….whatever you like. And when someone is browsing the Internet, trying to find information about groups such as yours within the area, they can learn more about you in an instant, and even send you an e-mail via the website.

Web templates are FREE to Merseyside community groups and a highly effective means of promoting your organisation and communicating important information to existing and prospective new members.

The package for community groups includes:

• A one page website.
• Use of a professionally designed template with the ability to upload two images (a logo and graphic).
• The ability to update your website when you need to.
• A registered sub-domain name (a web address).
• A professional hosting service for your website.
• An automatic submission to the best search engines, so that other people can find your site.

The web templates package for community groups is free of charge to those who meet our criteria. To qualify as a community group for web templates you should be a non-profit making organisation with no paid employees and be from the Merseyside area - as defined by the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund).

Other organisations are not excluded from using web templates but will be subject to the same £150+VAT charge as small to medium-sized businesses.
