Websites for small community and disability-sector organisations
Everyone else rents you your own website. Freehold hands you the deed. Built once, owned outright, and yours to move any time. No lease, no lock-in, no landlord.
No cold sales. If it is not right for you, you say no and nothing is lost.

I look for small organisations doing important work behind a website that is dated, hard to use, or long gone. Then I rebuild it, in full, from your own real content, and hand the whole thing over in your name. Own the land, not just rent the view.
Every service, every story, your history, your people, your funders. A better-presented version of everything you already have, never a thinned-out shell.
Large text, calm layout, one decision at a time. Made for a tired parent on a phone or a volunteer reading at 9pm, not for a design award.
Years of frontline community and disability-sector work, and a careful eye for what makes reading easy. The care is in the detail.
Free hosting, your domain stays in your name, and you can take the whole site elsewhere any time, free, no notice. Ownership you can prove, not just claim.
Most of this happens before you ever hear from me. By the time I get in touch, the work is already done and waiting for you to look at.
I spot a community or disability-sector group whose website no longer does its work justice.
Using only your own public words, logo and photos, I build a full new site as a private preview.
I send you a private link with a plain, no-pressure note. You look in your own time.
Love it and want it live? One fair price and the deed is yours. Not for you? Say so, and that is completely fine.
Funders judge a charity partly by how it looks. Good design costs thousands. So the groups doing the most with the least end up looking like they do the least, and it costs them funding.
That is the gap Freehold exists to close.
The part small groups worry about most is the running cost. There isn't one. You pay once to own the site outright, and after that you owe nothing.
For comparison, a like-for-like custom build in New Zealand usually runs three to eight thousand dollars, and a Wix or Squarespace subscription rents you the ground every year without ever being truly yours.
Either way, you are welcome here. If you run a community or disability-sector group and want to talk, I would love to hear from you. There is never any pressure, and never any cost to ask.
