The Designers Of Parasol - The Only Web Enabled Community Portal Software

So What Is Parasol?

Parasol is a world class web enabled website portal that enables Villages and Towns to provide an online presence for the local community. Developed in partnership with our clients the software is a highly tailored experience designed to meet the needs and demands of a community website portals.

Intuitive and easy to use, the open ended architecture of Parasol allows groups, organisations, services and local business in the local community to be grouped under a single website, and allows organisations in the community to build an online presence under the main community website, the parasol by allowing organisations to develop a ‘mini website’ for their group by using Parasol. This innovative technique builds vibrant communities and allows organisations to share digital content and up to date information across the globe.

The functionality and flexibility of Parasol means that the community's website is continually changing with information staying up to date and relevant. Along with the many customisation and branding options available, the information being provided to the users is never the same on any two days. Parasol allows you to highly tailor the viewing experience to your needs and requirements to reflect your culture and local traditions.

The powerful capabilities of Parasol benefit communities by providing a highly integrated, central communication and information system. Working like a continually updating Newsletter, Parasol provides a hub for all community activity and information.

Portfolio - Ashton Keynes Village Website - www.ashtonkeynes.org.uk

A couple of years ago, the village of Ashton Keynes had a new website developed for it, which Technoera designed and developed on behalf of the village and the parish council. The website was designed in close partnership with people in the village. It provides groups, village facilities, local services, local business, the church, the school and other village organisations with the ability to create and update their own web presence in the local community.

Many villages are similar to Ashton Keynes and, following the success there, I though that other villages may be interested in having a similar website. Have a look at the current Ashton Keynes Village Website and see the opportunities and benefits a community website holds. The Ashton Keynes Website won joint first place in the IT section of the Best Village Competition last year.

So Generally..

Once initially setup the website's essentially run themselves. There are minimal costs and the website's do not rely on any one individual to keep them up to date, as it is the users who make updates to the web pages. Updates to the website's are made using a simple to use online administration system. No special technical skills are needed; it is as easy as, for example, typing a word document. We are able to provide interactive training sessions to the organisations that use the website's to help users to get started, and this comes as part of the launching of a new website. There are grants available from local authorities to support the development of the website which could cover nearly all of the initial costs.
