Content Advice

This page is for non profit clubs, groups and societies. 

General

We hope that you will take full advantage of the web site to communicate to your members, potential members and the village just what you want to say. You know what that is, we don't. We are not going to restrict the amount you publish. As long as we have the resources, we'll do it. If what you ask is not possible, we'll tell you.

The minimum information we hope that you will publish is your organisation's name, a brief description and contact details.

The site can be changed as often as you want, so that it is always kept up-to-date.

You can incorporate photographs and logos on your pages. Provide us with a good copy and we will scan the document for you.

Getting your information live

You have three options here.

• We take the paper notes that you provide, design a set of web pages around it and publish it on CROFTON.org.uk.
• You design your own web pages and give them to us. We will then publish them on CROFTON.org.uk.
• You provide us with a link to a web site that you maintain on your ISP.

Each of the these options have their own advantages and disadvantages. The first is probably the option that most will take and requires no technical skills. The other two will give you better control of the design of the web site but you will need to have or be able to learn the necessary skills.

Web Page Basics

What you should do

• Make your pages simple and easy to read.

• Incorporate your organisations logo if possible, to aid recognition.

What not to do
