Voice Online Communities
Cambridge, England, UK
What it is
Voice Online Communities is a web-based website builder and content management system for UK community, voluntary, and not-for-profit groups. Its free plan is listed as free and includes all features, with unlimited pages, images, documents, events, and bandwidth. Sites can bring members together through discussion forums, photo albums, event calendars, blogs, file sharing, and surveys. The CMS provides unlimited pages through a WYSIWYG editor, while Includelets can reuse content from other site areas. Groups can customise themes for mobile, tablet, and desktop browsers, use a custom domain, and receive free SSL with HTTPS. Voice welcomes charities, schools, councils, clubs, and other non-profit organisations, but not businesses. Administrators have documentation, help sheets, forums, and informal Zoom chats. Third-party code such as Twitter widgets and YouTube videos can be embedded. Bespoke integrations, training, support, custom themes, and new functionality are paid services.
