All u3as are equally welcome to adopt SiteWorks and take up the Website hosting offering. For u3as that don’t use Site Builder, or are starting from scratch, then a SiteWorks ‘Starter Site’ option with the training and documentation is available.

For a u3a not on Site Builder there is no automated migration of website content. We offer you a ‘Starter site’, which is essentially an empty site with an example of a Groups, an Event, Contacts etc.

If you are currently using Beacon then some information could be exported from Beacon and imported into your SiteWorks site e.g. Group and Group Leader data. If you are using a different management system, you may be able to do the same thing.

The SiteWorks Team are currently busy migrating Site Builder sites, so there may be some delay in you receiving personalised help. Do register your interest by completing this form:  u3a Website Manager details and updates which resides on Microsoft Office. If possible please name your Web Manager and one Assistant and select the  ‘First registration for my u3a’ option for the final question 7. Your request will be added to our database and you will be contacted by our SiteWorks Invite & Engage team. They will send you an email inviting your committee to review the SiteWorks Terms and Conditions and if they are happy to proceed your Secretary (or other Officer with u3a Portal access) can sign via the u3a Portal. Details of how to do this will be in the email.

Additional information that you might find useful can be found by using the Web Manager menu tab above where there are links to WP Local and a Demo SiteWorks site.

If you currently use WordPress with the SiteWorks theme and plugins then the team can help (on a best efforts basis) with moving it to SiteWorks hosting.
