Service · Parish Council Websites
Two rules many council websites still miss
The Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations require council websites to meet accessibility standards and publish an accessibility statement, and parish and town councils are expected to use an official .gov.uk address. Many small councils in Cumbria still have a website on a commercial domain that nobody has checked for accessibility. We fix both as standard, at a price set for council budgets.
.gov.uk domain included
We handle the .gov.uk application for your council as part of every website project, so you get your official address without the paperwork.
WCAG 2.2 AA checked
Every page tested with our own Site Check tool and by hand before launch, every barrier fixed, and an accessibility statement published.
Easy for the clerk
Agendas, minutes, notices and councillor details updated in WordPress without technical knowledge, with training at handover.
Documents handled
Clerks can email documents to us and we publish them, accessible and in the right place, so the website keeps up with meetings.
Fixed price
Parish councils from £2,000 and town councils from £3,000, with a full written specification and everything included.
Looked after
Hosting, updates and accessibility re-checks after updates, so the site stays compliant long after launch.
Our council work
Councils across West and South Cumbria
We build and look after websites for councils including Millom Town Council, Millom Without, Eskdale, Bootle and Whicham. We understand how councils work: decisions go through meetings, documents need publishing on time, and the clerk is usually doing ten other jobs. The websites are built so that keeping them up to date is quick.
Accessibility statement
Written and published for your council.
Official address
Your .gov.uk domain registered for you.
Local team
Based in Millom, a phone call away.
Accessibility
Checked properly, not just run through a free scanner
Automated scanners only catch some accessibility problems. We test with our own Site Check tool and then check by hand: keyboard use, visible focus, headings that make sense to a screen reader, clear form errors and colour contrast. Every problem is fixed before launch.
Domains
Your official .gov.uk address
Your council's website and email should be on a .gov.uk address so residents know it is genuine. We apply for the domain on your behalf as part of the project. Councils that only need the domain can use our separate registration service.
Publishing
Agendas and minutes without the stress
Your site has clear sections for meetings, agendas, minutes, policies and notices. The clerk can upload documents in a few clicks, or email them to us and we will publish them accessibly. Residents find what they need without ringing the clerk.
Town councils
Bigger councils, more content
Town councils usually publish more documents, news and notices, and have more committees. Town council websites start from £3,000, with the extra structure that larger councils need and the same accessibility checks.
Charities and halls
The same care for community organisations
Charities, village halls and community groups have similar needs and budgets. Charity websites start from £2,000, and village halls can add online booking, as Kirksanton Village Hall has.
Pricing
Priced for council budgets
Parish council websites from £2,000, town council websites from £3,000 and charity websites from £2,000. Every price is fixed, with a written specification, and maintenance afterwards keeps the site updated and accessible.
