What is Voice Online Communities?
Voice Online Communities CIC is a community website publishing platform. You can simply apply for a website and use the documentation to build it by yourself if you want to, without attending any training.
The social enterprise is currently funded by National Lottery Community Fund to further develop the platform. Additional running costs are covered by building more complex websites for those organisations with a budget. This means it is free of charge for small charities and community organisations.
Our 'Build my community website' training programme, and the subsequent resources and videos you'll see on this page, is funded by National Lottery Community Fund as part of our Digital Foundations partnership with Refugee Council, HEAR Equality and Human Rights Network and Voice Online Communities.
Benefits of using Voice to build your website:
- There are no ongoing costs.
- You do not have to pay for 'hosting'.
- You can upload as many photos as you like.
- There are lots of useful functions that you can add yourself e.g. calendar, noticeboard.
- You do not have to worry about how many photos you upload, or whether you want to include a video on your webpages.
