View Full Version : Help my Charity get a new website!

The Hovercraft Museum Trust (http://hovercraft-museum.org/)'s principal trustee mentioned to me that he had difficulty updating their current website. Through my networking connections, I ran across an offer to create a Wordpress Blog and website for the winner of a vote.

As the HMT don't have permanent tenure at HMS Daedalus, they don't qualify for Lottery Funding - which most other Charities do. :(

Whilst the current website is functional, it's not all it could be, suffers from poor navigation and, crucially, fails to meet certain cross-browser "web standards". A Wordpress Blog and/or Site could well be the answer. A professionally designed website costs well into thousands of pounds - even for a micro site of a few pages - so therefore, they need every financial help they can get.

Please vote here (see panel on right): http://ow.ly/1wn1j

Original thread here: http://www.blogmistress.com/nominations-please-for-aprils-wordpress-winner/

On the first day of every month, the Blogmistress opens up a post in which YOU suggest an organisation, charity, or person that would really benefit from having a WordPress blog and/or website provided for them, including the hosting and their domain name.

Voting ends tonight! Thanks for your help.

Hey Mark

If it goes tits up and you want help setting up a custom design on a Wordpress site give me a shout. I've walked the walk on here long enough, probably about time I showed some folk how it's done.

As long as it's for charity I wouldn't mind spending a few hours a week over a month to get something up and running.

Still voted though - all the best!

Cheers for the offer. Let's see how this goes and perhaps I'll be in touch (had a few offers privately via PM too!) :)

Mark,

Do they currently pay for hosting? I could possibly help on that front...

Serif webplus X2 is a great tool and easy to use for a professional looking website. I think i paid about £30.00 from PC World.
