Our Internet Services

Website Design & Brand Development

Whether you are getting a new business started on the internet, have an existing website that is underperforming, or are looking for a reliable technical partner, VCS Websites has you covered. We design with search engine optimization (SEO) built directly into the site's architecture, ensuring that your business stands out on Google. We construct responsive web layouts that fit and scroll perfectly on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wide screens.

Our web design path covers:

• Free Initial Consultation: Discussions on how a web presence can best support your operational goals.
• Domain Management: Helping you register, manage, and configure suitable internet domains.
• Branding & Logos: Designing clean, modern vector logos that define your brand.
• Content Management Systems: Specialize in the industry-leading Drupal CMS framework, giving you full access to update images, text, and documents without any coding required.

Secure & Reliable Hosting

Your website deserves a fast, safe, and stable server environment. Our hosting solutions are based in high-security, green UK data centers that deliver excellent speeds, daily backups, and robust protection protocols. We handle email servers (supporting IMAP, POP3, and SMTP configurations) and support SSL certificates for complete HTTPS encryption. We also provide logs and visitor analysis dashboards so you can easily review your site metrics.

Bespoke Databases & CRM Systems

For organizations that have outgrown simple web formats, we build complex online database systems. Using robust SQL backends integrated directly with Drupal user systems, we develop customer relationship management (CRM) portals, member management systems, digital treasury report directories, booking interfaces, and automated inventory systems. Your data is secure, easily searchable, and customized precisely to your business processes.

Parish Council Websites (WCAG Compliant)

VCS Websites is highly recognized for creating affordable, fully compliant web solutions for UK Parish Councils. We design parish websites specifically to comply with the Local Government Transparency Code and WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA Accessibility Regulations.

Features included in our Council Package:

• Accessibility Integration: Screen reader optimization, high-contrast layouts, and readable document formats.
• Simple Document Management: Clerks can easily publish meeting agendas, minutes, financial reviews, policies, and newsletters in seconds.
• Government Domains: Setup and support for official .gov.uk domains and matching secure email servers.
• Clerk Support: Step-by-step documentation, Zoom screenshare tutoring, and friendly phone support.

Parish Church Websites

Churches need a friendly, welcoming, and informative online home. We create beautiful, budget-friendly church websites that connect congregations and keep parishioners updated on parish activities. The systems allow churchwardens and administrators to upload weekly service sheets, organize calendars, post news updates, publish galleries from community events, and set up safe online donation portals.

Affordable Websites

If you don't need a database or content management system, our flat (static) sites are an ideal fit. They are beautifully styled, load instantly, and have minimal hosting costs with absolutely no software updating needs. We code them directly, and when you need changes, we execute updates at very reasonable rates.

Editing & Publishing Services

Drawing on the historical publishing background of Frostick Publishing, we support clients in editing, structuring, formatting, and formatting written materials. This includes compiling local history guides, formatting transparency reports, laying out booklets, and preparing files for digital output or physical press distribution.
