[APL case study](https://abstract27.com/apl-cdg-org-uk/) ## Several volunteers, one website Every committee member gets their own login: they publish minutes or news without going through a "webmaster". When the committee changes in September, logins are added and removed in two minutes, and the website keeps running. Charity rules: a PTA must register with the Charity Commission once its income passes £5,000 a year, and a registered charity with an income over £10,000 must state its registered status on appeals for money (Charities Act 2011, s.39). We add your charity number to the donation page and footer. ## New website, redesign or migration: we handle it No website yet? We build it. A site on Wix, WordPress, Squarespace or a directory platform? We rebuild it and move your content, redirecting every old address so you keep your Google rankings. Then we stay on: updates, backups and changes on request. The committee focuses on the work; we run the website. ## Built on Ghost, open-source software you own Every site we build runs on Ghost®, the open-source publishing platform. The editor is as simple as writing an email, the newsletter is built in, pages load fast, and your content and subscriber list can be exported at any time — nothing is locked in. Ghost is the only platform we build on. ## What we have built - [APL Lycée Charles de Gaulle](https://abstract27.com/apl-cdg-org-uk/) — the parents' association of the French lycée in London: £20 yearly membership, donations to the association and its charity, elections, committee minutes, several volunteer authors. - [Club Petit Pierrot](https://abstract27.com/website-for-a-childrens-french-school-in-london-clubpetitpierrot-co-uk/) — a French school for children in London, whose team publishes its own dates. - [Franco-British Data Society](https://abstract27.com/ghost-cms-website-for-the-franco-british-data-society/) — an association with paid memberships, events and newsletter run by its members.
