Scout website review

Some notes gathered whilst researching options.... What do we want to change? meeting dates (not times/locations) on "front page"? Essential website elements hosting domain name CMS (Content Management System) Alternative solution - what do other scout groups use? Scouting Themes 4 WordPress https://www.iscout4wordpress.org.uk/  - Scouting Themes 4 WordPress - free template system designed by and used by scout groups - " This website exists to provide WordPress themes designed within the brand guidelines of the Scout Association for use by all Scouting organisations in the UK, from individual sections, to groups, districts and counties/areas. The aim of these themes is to allow Scouting webmasters to focus on the content of their site and on Scouting in general rather than on trying to design a website theme ." Hosting is EXTRA! - maybe use DreamHost  -  https://www.dreamhost.com/wordpress/  - £50 p.a. (?)  Example -  https://www.9thnort

Content is everything

" The hard bit of creating a website is writing lots of interesting content that people will want to read. Putting up a website is not difficult but keeping it up to date with interesting content certainly is.
