The DIY Website Builder is an easy-to-use tool for creating a professional looking website. Developed to suit voluntary organisations’ requirements and budgets, it’s for those that don’t have a website and want to be able to control and update their own site. It requires minimal technical expertise and a website can be created in only a couple of hours.
