# A site your volunteers can keep up to date

*Charities and community groups*

Community websites are often built by one volunteer and then left alone. CubeSites is simple enough for anyone on the team to update, with a history of every version so mistakes are easy to undo.

## What you get

- **A template for causes:** The charity and community template has home, about and get involved pages. The launch page template gives a single page for an event or appeal.
- **Several people, the right access:** Invite volunteers to edit and give trustees look and preview access only. Everyone signs in with their own account.
- **Version history:** Every publish is kept. If something goes wrong, restore an earlier version in a click.
- **Mailing list sign-ups and contact forms:** Collect sign-ups and enquiries with spam protection. Each one is emailed to the people you choose and kept in CubeSites.
- **Accessible by default:** Proper headings, alternative text for images, visible focus and contrast checks on theme colours.

## Suggested templates

- **Charity and community:** For charities, clubs and community groups: your cause, the difference you make and how to get involved.
- **Launch page:** One page for a product, event or campaign: a countdown, the key points and a sign-up form.

## A day with CubeSites: Getting ready for an open day

_An example with placeholder names._

1. User A, a volunteer, starts a one-page site from the launch page template for the open day.
2. They add a gallery from last year’s event and a button that links to the existing donation page.
3. User B, a trustee with preview access, checks the page through a preview link before it goes live.
4. User A publishes, and adds a link from the main site’s announcement bar.

## Questions

### Can we take donations through the site?

There is no donation form built in. Add a button that links to the donation page you already use. On a Pro website you can also sell fundraising items through the shop.

### Can several volunteers edit the site?

Yes. Invite each person with their own sign-in and a role that suits them, from full editing to look and preview only.

### What if somebody publishes a mistake?

Every publish is kept in the version history. Restore the earlier version and the site goes back straight away.
