How to build the website

  • Self hosting - pretty difficult to hook into financials
  • Squarespace, Wix, or one of that ilk - Rental.

Maintaining the website

The various parts of the website should be under the control of the relevant committee members: Prodcom Mancom etc. There should be one over-arching function to maintain the maintainers' user accounts and permissions.
