Specialist Service
Websites Built Around The Real Needs Of Parish And Town Councils
We provide specialist parish and town council websites for councils across England and Wales, with practical structures, council-focused modules and long-term support built around the way councils actually work.
Unlike a general business website, a council website needs to handle public information clearly, keep documents organised, support accessibility and make ongoing updates easier for clerks and council teams.
Our council websites are designed to help councils manage agendas, minutes, financial information, policies, meetings, councillor information, notices and other important content in a way that is clear for residents and more manageable behind the scenes.
Why It Matters
A More Suitable Approach Than A Generic Website Package
Parish and town councils need websites that do more than just look professional. They need to support public access to information, make regular updates easier and provide a structure that can continue to work as content grows over time.
We have worked with a large number of councils, many on .gov.uk domains, so we understand the practical requirements involved and the importance of getting structure, usability and accessibility right.
That experience helps us build council websites that are more useful day to day, both for the people managing them and for the residents using them.
Council-Focused CMS
Content Management Designed Around Typical Council Content
Our content management system is designed around the types of information parish and town councils regularly need to publish and maintain.
Documents And Public Information
Structured areas for agendas, minutes, financial information, policies, reports and other important council documents, helping keep public information clearer and easier to find.
Meetings And Categories
Meeting dates can be organised into categories such as Full Council and committees, with support for multiple locations where needed across the year.
Councillors And Committees
Councillor information can be managed cleanly, including additional contact information, committee memberships and placement in multiple categories without duplication.
Useful Contacts
A practical way to manage useful local contacts through the website, making important information easier for residents to access and easier for councils to maintain.
News
News can be kept looking more polished with simpler publishing tools, including stock image selection within the admin panel where appropriate.
Specialist Local Modules
Additional modules such as defibrillator and noticeboard locations, including what3words support, help councils publish practical local information more clearly.
Easier For Clerks
Website Management Designed To Be More Straightforward
We know that clerks often need to update websites alongside many other responsibilities, so making the admin side simpler is an important part of the service.
Features such as a Settings module for updating contact details and addresses, improved meeting management, clearer content organisation and better re-use of information all help reduce unnecessary admin time.
We can also provide support with council email, including councillor email addresses, helping councils keep communication more professional, more consistent and easier to manage.
The aim is not just to give councils a better front end, but to make the website easier to manage behind the scenes as well.
- Contact details and addresses can be updated more easily through a dedicated settings area
- Meeting information can be structured more clearly with categories and multiple locations
- Councillor records can be kept tidier without needing duplication across sections
- Homepage content can be tailored around the type of council and local authority structure
- Council content areas are built around practical use rather than a one-size-fits-all editor
Accessibility And Compliance
Support For Accessible, Clear And Public-Facing Council Websites
Council websites need to be usable, organised and maintained with accessibility in mind, not treated like a standard brochure website.
WCAG 2.2 AA Support
We work with councils with accessibility in mind and support websites that are designed to help councils work towards WCAG 2.2 AA standards.
Accessibility Statements
Accessibility statements are included and reviewed regularly, helping councils keep this important requirement in better order.
Clear Information Structure
Public information needs to be easy to navigate, especially as council websites grow larger and hold more documents over time.
Assertion 10 Awareness
We understand the wider expectations around council websites and help support a more suitable foundation for ongoing compliance and public access.
Support After Launch
Ongoing Help For Clerks And Council Teams
A parish or town council website is not a one-off project. Documents need uploaded, details change, vacancies arise and clerks often need support with ongoing updates.
That is why our service goes beyond the website build itself. We provide practical ongoing help, including admin support, developer changes and guidance where needed.
We are also continuing to expand training resources and video tutorials to help clerks manage their websites more confidently.
Long-Term Service
Built To Support Councils Over Time
We know council websites need to remain useful over the long term, not just at launch. Content grows, responsibilities change and residents continue to rely on the website for important public information.
With specialist modules, ongoing improvements and support from our team, we aim to provide a service that is practical for councils now and more manageable in the future.
That includes support for content changes, technical updates, website improvements and general help with managing the council's online presence.
