Philadelphia groups
Philadelphia has a deep layer of neighborhood organizations: civic associations, block groups, community garden groups, friends-of groups for parks and libraries, and the volunteer side of many faith communities. A lot of them work at the scale of a few blocks of rowhouses. Their websites need to say clearly which streets they cover, when the next meeting is, and how a new neighbor can join.
The calendar does a lot of work for these groups. Spring and fall bring cleanups and planting days, summer brings block parties and youth programs, and colder months bring coat and food drives. We set up an event calendar a volunteer can update in minutes, with a list view for phones and a print-friendly page for the bulletin board at the rec center or the corner store.
How a Philadelphia project runs
- You send a short brief about the group, the site you have now and what people need to do on it.
- We reply with questions, then a written quote with the page list, the tools we connect and a target launch date.
- Your board or lead volunteer approves a page plan and a design for the home page and one inner page.
- We build the rest, test it with a keyboard, a screen reader and a phone, and launch on your domain.
Everything runs by email, shared folders and video calls booked in Eastern time, including evening calls when your volunteers are free. We have no office in Philadelphia, and the work doesn't need one. If you want new photos of a program, a volunteer with a phone can take them, and we'll send a short shot list that keeps faces out unless people agree to be shown.

Questions
Do you meet in person in Philadelphia?
No. We work remotely by email and video calls booked in Eastern time, including early evenings when board members are free.
Our civic association covers a small area. Is a full site worth it?
Often a small one is enough: a home page, a map of your boundaries, a meeting calendar, a membership form and a page for news. We'll suggest the smallest site that does the job.
Ask for a quote
Cost depends on the number of pages, which tools the site connects to, how much writing we do and how many people need to approve the work, so every project gets its own written quote.
