Rooms hired while the office is closed
A website with booking system for your hall, rooms and kitchen: groups pick a room and a slot online. You confirm or move it by chat.
For community centers
A community center website that fills classes and hires out rooms
Residents see this week's schedule, sign up for a class or book a room online. We build, host and update the site. No technical skills needed.
Start the website your residents sign up on. Plan and price shown before you pay.
Fewer calls to the desk, more people in the building
Is the hall free on Saturday? When does the seniors' lunch start? Your site answers before anyone rings and lets residents book a room or join a class on the spot.
This week's schedule, always current
Post classes, events and closures by telling the assistant. You confirm the change first; it is live straight after.
Volunteers sign up from their phone
A contact form on every page takes volunteer offers and membership questions. Ask the assistant what came in.
Announcements in one place
Publish news and event posts in plain language. Residents read them before they ask at the desk.
Managed WordPress hosting and website maintenance, included
Your community website runs on managed WordPress hosting we look after. Updates, backups and security monitoring come with every plan; website maintenance is never a volunteer's job.
No update waits for a volunteer
WordPress, theme and plugin updates are applied automatically.
Last week's site, one click away
Backups run automatically. Take one before a big change; restore any in one click.
Security monitoring, switched on for you
On from day one. Ask the assistant for login protection, alerts or the latest scan.
Your domain and email addresses
Register a domain or connect the one you have. DNS, SSL and addresses like info@ are set up for you.
Designs that feel like your center, not a corporation
Warm and local or clean and civic. Each design is shown with your center's name; switch later by chat.
- Summer Program
- Church Community
- Vaccination Center
- City Hall
- Rehab Center
Three steps between you and a full schedule
Step 1
Describe your center
A sentence or two on your programs, rooms and neighborhood. The wizard turns it into pages, a design and a domain.
Step 2
Check before you pay
Pages, design, domain, plan and price are shown before checkout. Change whatever does not fit.
Step 3
Publish and open the calendar
Built after checkout and typically live in minutes. Then your team runs it by chat.
No technical skills needed, from anyone on the team
An easy website builder hands your committee an editor to learn, a booking tool to wire up and updates to remember. With SimpleWP there is nothing to set up, learn or maintain.
Do-it-yourself builder
- One volunteer learns the easy website builder and builds every page
- Room bookings and sign-ups need a separate tool
- When that volunteer leaves, the site stalls
SimpleWP
- A small business website written for your center: programs, rooms, events
- Booking in place; hosting and upkeep handled
- Anyone asks in plain words; changes confirmed first
A community website should stay yours: your domain, your content and a standard WordPress website any local developer can open. The technical side is ours.
Questions community centers ask
What should a community center website show?
This week's schedule, your rooms and how to hire them, classes and events with sign-up, how to volunteer and how to reach you. That saves the desk hours of calls.
Do our volunteers need technical skills?
No. Nobody touches code, hosting panels or plugin settings. You tell the assistant what to change, see it first and confirm it.
What does it cost a small center?
The price depends on the plan and is shown before checkout. Centers use the same plans as any small business website, all with hosting, updates, backups and security monitoring.
Can groups book our rooms online?
Yes. Tell the assistant your rooms, hours and who handles bookings; groups pick a room and a time on the site.
Can we keep the domain we already have?
Yes. Connect your current domain or register a new one. It stays yours.
Is it standard WordPress hosting?
Yes. A standard WordPress website on hosting we manage, so a local WordPress developer can work on it whenever you ask.
Are updates and backups included?
Yes. Automatic updates, backups with one-click restore and security monitoring are in every plan. Website maintenance is never a separate bill.
