Websites for membership and representative bodies

The site is slow, dated and awkward to update. You already know that. It is more of a hindrance than a tool, and members tell you so.

What is harder is that you cannot tell whether it is secure, whether it meets your accessibility duties, or whether anyone is really looking after it. You are asked to be accountable for something you have no way of checking.

And it does not stay a website problem. Members who cannot find what they need ring the office instead. An accessibility complaint arrives and there is no defence for it. The next committee inherits the mess, and the people who left it are the ones who get blamed.

We own the hosting end to end. There is no third-party host to blame when something breaks, and no support queue between you and the person who built the site.

Every plugin on every site we host is checked nightly against the public vulnerability feeds. Findings are ranked, and updates are applied behind a snapshot with a health check and an automatic rollback if anything breaks. Measured uptime across the sites we host is 99.99%.

And we understand the shape of the decision. Nothing here has to be approved on a call. You get the paperwork you need to take it to the people who actually sign it off, because in this sector most work is not lost to a competitor, it is lost to a meeting that never had the documents.
