About our service
The service is provided for established charities and voluntary organisations that need to use a web site to help support their charitable works. We create simple web sites from the text and graphic images provided by charities and voluntary organisations. The service is aimed at charities and voluntary organisations that do not already have a web site. Web site content We can receive text and photos for your organisation's web site by e-mail, with the text in Microsoft Word, RTF or plain text formats. Adobe pdf files can also be used for visitors to download. Your text should be organised so that it can be split into separate web pages such as About us, Projects, News, Events, Volunteering, Donating, Links etc. Where possible we would like one or two relevant good quality photo for each web page to illustrate the text on that page. If more photos are required then please set up your own photo album at Flickr (Yahoo). We will include a link to your photo album on the web site. The web site may contain a simple online form, links to other web sites, e-mail addresses and other services such as photo albums by Flickr (Yahoo), slide shows by slide, discussion forums at Invisionfree, Online credit/debit card donations at Charity Choice (free to UK registered charities), Paypal (available in many countries) and Global Giving. Web site address The web site will have an address of the form "www.freetocharities.org.uk/code", where the code is usually the initials of your organisation, and is allocated by us. However you can purchase your own domain name from any domain name reseller to forward to :- "http://www.freetocharities.org.uk/code/index.php" Updating the web site You may request changes and additions to the web site once per month. Please be sure that your updating instructions make clear which web site pages are to be changed and exactly where the insertions and deletions are required. Web site visitors There are about 234 million web sites in the world (December 2009), so your organisation's web site will not be noticed unless you publicise it. We recommend that you do the following :-
Donations If your organisation requests donations, sponsorship or fees then we require a clear and readable electronic copy of the organisation's official Certificate of Registration issued by the relevant Government Ministry, or for UK charities the organisation's UK Charity Commission registration number. This evidence of your organisation's legitimacy will be displayed on the web site. Applying for a free web site If your organisation's management committee would like to use our service, and agrees to actively publicise the web site, then please complete the application form and click the send button. |
