Hi Roger, Martin & James
That's brilliant, thank you so much for your replies.
I've started to set things up, I'll explain more about it during one of the next voice zoom sessions if we are there.
In the meantime, I've created a page on our garden club website to explain things (as best I can).
www.tendershoots.uk/get-a-website/
I've created a table, primarily focusing on domain initially, but i've also added setting up a very simple single page website as an option too if that applies to any of you.
So what I would just need from you is to email me your telephone contact details please so I can put them on the table. I've put in a couple of dummy names as examples for how it shows. I'd also need to give clubs a standard fee for the setting up of their domain, which would be the £11.99 for 123Reg, plus your fee. So could you email me to me know what you think you would charge for setting that up please club@tendershoots.uk
The table shows:
Contact details
Domain 123Reg
E-Voice website
Other websites
So basically the table gives you the option to offer to do just domain registration, or setting up the website as well.
The next stage would be to give clubs the option to have a very basic single page website setup, if any of you would be happy to offer that later on. So I've created a word document (with the bare minimum information a garden group needs) that clubs could download and fill in with their details to be sent to you (the document is on www.tendershoots.uk/get-a-website/ ) . Then it's just a matter of copy and paste into either E-Voice or whichever other provider the club wants. So again as it's just a standard copy and paste, I think a standard fee could be agreed. Then if clubs want more bells and whistles (extra pages, photos uploaded, details of other events, etc etc), they can discuss upgrading and further charges with any of you directly.
Hope that all makes sense. There may well be other things I've not thought about yet, eg do you need password access to their website in order to setup the DNS stuff?
If this works ok, I guess it could be used by other types of groups, church groups, photography groups, sports clubs etc, but I'm just focused on garden clubs myself. Other groups can copy the same steps.
I'll chat more about it during the next voice forum.
Many thanks Indy
Indy,
I may have misunderstood during the Zoom meeting what you were looking for!
The website owner needs to set up their own 123-Reg or other account and register the desired domain. (£11.99 + VAT). Their new authentication process sends a text or email to the account holder so no-one else can easily log in to the 123-Reg account. For this same reason it would be difficult for anyone else to set the DNS as required.
What I can do would be to talk the owner through the process on the phone.
Your table also suggests I might create the e-Voice website for them - that's not something I would want to get involved with....
Regards,
Roger
Indy,
While happy to suggest some information and resources, I am with Roger on this.
Not something I would want to be involved with as the value of the return is nill.
Hi Indy
Noticed my name was on your website table to set up a basic template. However, although I am happy to help with some general information, I don't have the time to commit to doing anything more.
