Transfer from your old platform
We'll work with you to plan your new site and move your content across properly, not just copy and paste.
That means working out your information architecture, the hierarchy of your pages, and deciding what's a general page, a guide, a step by step, a case study or a publication.
Content maintenance
Email us the pages you want added or new services for the directory, and we'll get them uploaded.
An annual contract, designed to free up your time for the real work in your community.
Multiple sites
Your directory can power one site, or many.
Content pages are site specific.
Each site has it's own URL and look and feel.
Exact costs
We're on G-Cloud 15, so our real prices are public. See the full pricing for Placid, including example five year cost plans.
