mysocietywebsite.com is a service that allows you have a website that you can update 24-7. We'll get the pages up and running, and you can change the text and pictures. It's perfect for societies, clubs and organisations.
How is this different to getting a website designer?
You don't need to pay a large upfront web-design fee followed by expensive maintenance charges.
Instead, MySociety provides a service. Through our system, we will provide you with a website that you can edit without knowing HTML.
You tell us what pages you need, and we'll set up the basic site. You can then add text and images to your heart's content!
What sort of pages can I have?
There's lots of flexibility! You can have a 'home page', news pages, upcoming events, a blog, contact form, 'find us' and much more.
To help your imagination, head to two example sites: Marlott Horticultural Society and Marlott Culture Society.
What kind of website can I set up?
MySociety websites are ideal for clubs, societies and organisations. You can put your news on the site, and have information on upcoming events, trips, speakers and lots more.
Take a look at two example websites: Marlott Horticultural Society and Marlott Culture Society.
Do I need to download software?
No. This is all managed online. You can everything from computer, an iPad or even your telephone.
Yes. If you have a domain name (e.g. mywebsite.co.uk) you can connect it to our system.
We can manage your domain for you, if you prefer.
It's included in the price! You're paying just £10 a month for the website and hosting.
Does this include an email address?
Yes - we can forward any email to a designated email address. For example, you can have info@mywebsite.com. We'll then forward anything sent to that email address to you. [For example, we can send it onto your Gmail or Hotmail email address.]
Can I see some example websites?
Yes! Take a look at two example websites: Marlott Horticultural Society and Marlott Culture Society.
Yes - you change the text or images 24 x 7. You don't need to contact us or pay any extra!
The administrator has a password to make updates. The text editor is very easy - you don't need to be a technical genius to use it!
If you're able to send email, or perhaps write a letter in Word, then you have all the skills you need!
Contact us, and we'll set you up with a 30-day trial. There's no risk or money up-front!
Do I need to download software to update my site?
No. It's all done through your browser! (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox will all work well.)
Can you make the updates for me?
Yes. If you'd like us to make updates, we can do so for a nominal fee.
Can I upload forms and newsletters?
Yes. You can upload PDF - such as a membership form or a monthly newsletter onto your site. Your users can then click on a link to download the form.
An event is anything with a date - such as a trip, a guest speaker, an AGM. Anything! You can add an event and the system will display them in chronological order.
After an event has finished, the event will be moved automatically to 'past events'. You won't have to make the change yourself.
Can I add booking forms to events?
Yes! Your users can easily download forms for your events.
Do I have to use the events feature on my site?
No. But it's available if you ever need it!
Yes - we can set that up for you.
Have a look at our example sites to see a blog in action.
How do we set this up for our venue?
Sign up for a 30-day free trial! Tell us briefly which pages you need. We will then set up a test site for you to evaluate.
It's just £10 a month - including hosting, a security certificate and more. For more information on what's included, check out this page.
If you'd like us to manage your domain name, we can do that. Domain names are typically £12 to £15 per year.
Pretty much everything!
What's not included in the price?
The registration fee for your domain name is extra. For common domain names (yoursite.com / yoursite.org.uk / yoursite.co.uk etc.) it's typically £12 to £15 per year.
If you already have an existing domain name you'd like to use, that's fine. The domain name is always your property - not ours.
If you don't have a domain name, we can register one for you and manage it.
Can I contact you with other questions?
Yes! Follow this link to head to our contact page. We offer friendly, UK-based support.
