Does your parish council website allow you to control the information which goes on it or are you dependent on a webmaster/company to do your updates?. Are you ready (if you are a small parish council under £25,000 ) to conform with the information requirements of the Transparency Code?
BALC does not endorse any provider of any service; however, we have had HugoFox brought to our attention and have heard good reports of them. They are providing websites free for parish councils - you do have to build it but they do seem to have parish councils in the forefront of their thinking.... this is some of their blurb.....
They have put together a brand new guide on how to create a Parish Council website with HugoFox. "The guide has been specifically designed with Parish Councils in mind to make the process of creating a website even easier, especially for those members who have never had their own website before.
Our detailed guide suggests pages that members might like to create and then takes you through how to do this step by step. We have even included examples from other Parish Council websites on HugoFox so you can see how to make the most of your new website. From creating pages on councillors, meetings, and minutes to adding news articles, listing local events, and advertising job and volunteer opportunities, we have covered all areas to ensure our members have all the tools they need to create a professional website quickly and easily.
The guide also contains a section detailing what information should be published on a Parish Council website in light of the new transparency regulations. We hope that this will help smaller Parish Councils ensure they are following the transparency code for smaller authorities by making their information easily accessible and available to everyone.
