Here at Seedling Media, we are working on a small-but-perfectly-formed website solution for those on a budget. We think will be useful for small businesses, community groups and others who don’t have a lot of money to spend, but do want a high-quality website that is perfect for a simple set of tasks.

We are basing this on a considerable amount of experience at building websites for small businesses and organisations, and this is what our system will help you to do:

• Pick a design for your site from a wide range of flexible layouts and colour schemes.
• Set up a website with a handful of pages – eg. a home page, contact page a few other information-type pages.
• Add a simple contact form that makes it easy for people to get in touch with you, and stops spammers from getting your email address.
• Publish simple “repeating” content, like news updates, events/gigs or employment/volunteering vacancies.
• Place special notices and announcements around your site.

The SeedSite package will be available this Summer, 2009. It is going to be remarkably easy to use, accessible and search-engine friendly. Set-up costs will start at just £400, with hosting fees of £60 a year if you choose to host it with us. Your SeedSite will come with an open licence allowing you complete freedom with your website should you choose to have somebody else host it or develop it in the future.
