# An easy-to-use website builder, designed for nonprofits

> Build and maintain your website from customizable templates, with your calendar, programs, shop and newsletter signups shown live from OpenCommunity.

Build your multipage website from easy templates with event calendars, program sign-ups, a merchandise shop and newsletters, all editable without any code.

## What's included

- **Create and maintain your website without technical skills.** Start from nonprofit-homepage templates, select your style preset, and freely customize content and design with a live preview before you publish.
- **Programs and calendar that stay up-to-date.** All programs, events and reminders entered on OpenCommunity automatically carry over to your website, so your public schedule is always up to date.
- **Accessible style options and language translation.** Colour presets keep designs accessible, including for people with colour blindness, and your site can be translated automatically so you show up in searches in other languages.

## Questions and answers

### Do we need a developer to use this editor properly?

No, anyone can build and edit the website inside OpenCommunity, starting from a ready-made community centre template and a style preset - no technical or coding knowledge needed. You change sections in a visual editor with a live preview, and nothing goes public until you choose to publish it.

### Does the website show our programs and calendar?

Yes, your calendar, programs, shop and newsletter signup appear on the site directly from OpenCommunity, so they are always current without anyone retyping them. A visitor can go from a program on your website straight to registering for it, and announcements can be shown on the site too.

### Can our website be in more than one language?

Yes, you can translate your website into up to three languages, including French, Chinese, Punjabi, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese. Translations are drafted automatically, and a person on your team can review and edit any of them at any time.
