What it is built with

ProcessWire, free and open source, with a box for exactly what each page needs.

In this guide

Your site runs on ProcessWire. It is the system that stores your pages and pictures and gives you the boxes you type into.

Free, and nobody owns it. ProcessWire is open source, which means it is free to use and no company can lock you in, put the price up or shut it down. If you ever leave me, any web developer can pick it up.

Small and quiet. Far fewer sites use it than WordPress, so it is a much smaller target for hackers. There is less to go wrong and less to keep patching.

Built for your site, not a template. Each page type has exactly the boxes it needs and nothing else, so changing it is hard to get wrong. An events page has a date box. A publications page does not.

Standard web code. Each page is written the way browsers and screen readers expect, with nothing in the way. It works on any device, old or new, and still works if a visitor's browser blocks scripts or their signal drops out.

Modules, for when you need more. New features are added as modules. A module is a small add-on that does one job, like an events list, a booking or enquiry form, a newsletter sign-up, a lending library or a search box. Some I have built myself. Your site can start small and grow. A module goes through the same checks as the rest of the site before it is switched on, so a new feature never makes the site harder to use.
