Pages hosted by Friends of the Earth
Each Friends of the Earth local group has a set of webpages hosted on the national website. These show contact details for the group, plus information about what the group is up to. See an example at http://www.foe.co.uk/bury.
These pages are kept up to date by group members - you don't need any particular web skills, its not much more complicated than filling in some online forms.
There are currently sections for:
- news updates
- campaigns
- links
- photos
- events
and we'll be adding to these over time. Ther's also a form for people to use to contact the group directly.
You can use the address of your group's page in your publicity materials, and people will see your pages when they look for their nearest Friends of the Earth group on the website.
Websites hosted elsewhere
If you want a more detailed site for your group, you will need to arrange hosting elsewhere. There are so many companies offering this that it's impossible to recommend one - but this is a useful forum thread.
There's a template available if you want to create your own site - each of the compressed files below contains an HTML template, a stylesheet and a logo.
