Parish, town and community council websites built by Easy Web Sites Ltd include an admin panel that allows the Clerk to update standard council content.
What The Clerk Can Usually Update
The exact options depend on the website setup, but standard council websites usually include admin areas for content such as defibrillators, noticeboards, councillor details, meeting dates, agendas and minutes, finance documents, your council details, useful contacts and PTC settings.
Making Updates In The Admin Panel

- Open the relevant module or settings area.
- Add or update the content carefully.
- Save your changes.
- Check the live website to make sure the update appears correctly.
Accessibility Requirements
Parish, town and community council websites should meet WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility requirements. Councils also need to consider Assertion 10 requirements when publishing information, documents and updates online.
Before publishing content, the Clerk should check that information is clear, accurate and suitable for the website. Documents should be prepared with accessibility in mind before they are uploaded.
