Create and manage your community's free website

About Us

Shrop.NET provides community organisations with the means to create and manage their own websites.

Shrop.NET incorporates a range of facilities and features that it would be impractical or uneconomic for small organisations to implement themselves.

It assists interaction with local authorities, other community organisations and users, giving the chance to get your message across in an interactive way.

ShropNET is a free service and is funded by Shropshire Council

ShropNET's features enable you to:

  • build and manage a web presence for your organisation.
  • update and maintain information on the services you provide including opening times and contact details.
  • announce news and activities.
  • conduct online surveys and polls.
  • publish documents such as leaflets, annual reports, press releases, forms and fact sheets.

Access is through any internet-enabled computer at home or in public places, such as a library or internet cafe.
