For community organisations

Your own microsite. Let's make it easy.

Want a little website for your group's bookings, events or everyday information? No problem. We can take care of it, or help you make it your own.

The hands-off option

We run it for you

Your own little corner of the shared muirkirk.info platform, managed by Ian and madegood. Tell us what you need and send your updates; we'll help with the rest.

A good fit if you want a simple site without another system to look after. Backend access may become possible later, but isn't promised: everyone's information needs to stay private.

Recommended for more control

Your own system, with our help

A dedicated system for your organisation, with your own user access. We help you set it up, show you the basics and stay on hand while you get comfortable.

A little more hands-on, with more room to make it work for you. You don't need to be technical. The core service is still free for qualifying groups.

Help us make it our own

Start simple. Change when you need to.

We can help you move between the two routes. The way a site works may change over time; we'll explain changes and plan any move with you, including what happens to your content and information.

Bookings and events are things we can help you work towards, not features already connected in this test site. We'll agree the right setup before anything goes live.

Free at the core

For qualifying Muirkirk organisations, we'll keep the core microsite service free for life, for as long as Odoo offers its free-for-life tier. We offer as much implementation and management support as we can for free as a community service. Basic admin training and support are always free.

Odoo's free tier covers one chosen app and its required dependencies. Additional Odoo apps or paid provider features may need a subscription; they aren't included in that free promise. Any implementation, extra support or third-party costs are explained and agreed before you decide. Check Odoo's current plans.

What eligible groups can expect

Basic administration training and support is always free.
Free or low-cost options are considered first; any costs are explained before you decide.
We can help with organisation-owned email, shared files, permissions and continuity.

Ownership stays with the group

Each organisation's email belongs in its own Google or Microsoft nonprofit tenant. The organisation remains the owner; muirkirk.info doesn't hold its email account.

Eligibility and provider approval are assessed separately. Neither is guaranteed.

Who this is for

Support can suit eligible charities, clubs, constituted or informal volunteer groups and genuine Muirkirk-benefit projects.

Commercial sites, personal portfolios, party-political work, unsafe work and unlawful activity are outside this offer.

Practical support, not a product pitch

A free basic subdomain microsite.
Help establishing an organisation-owned Google Workspace or Microsoft nonprofit tenant.
Basic administration, cyber and productivity training.
IT troubleshooting, project advice and funding assistance.

Provider and ownership decisions

The provider decides eligibility and approval isn't guaranteed. The organisation owns its tenant, domain data and recovery route.

Ian's role

Ian is a delegated administrator only where the organisation authorises it and it's needed.

A place in the local directory

Genuine local businesses and services can be listed too. The free community support offer has separate eligibility rules; a listing isn't an endorsement.

Contributions are welcome, never required

If our help has been useful, you're welcome to contribute towards it or support everwished's Muirkirk projects. Shopping with local vendors and choosing everwished brands and services when they suit you can help too.

None of that is a condition of receiving help. We don't use your service data to market other businesses to you; other services require a separate sign-up. Your information stays for this service.

Make, trade, create? There's a place for you too.

Independent crafters, traders, businesses and creators can ask for a listing on muirkirk.shop and a free yourname.muirkirk.shop subdomain, subject to availability and suitability.

Sell your wares or offer your services through the shared platform, or ask for help setting up your own system on your subdomain if you want more control. This is a separate service: listings, shops and selling features are arranged with you, not automatically created by joining muirkirk.info.

Ask about muirkirk.shop

Your shop, your domain, a helping hand

Setup and support are offered very cheaply, or free for qualifying organisations. The underlying core service remains free for life while Odoo's applicable free tier remains available; charges, where due, are for agreed implementation and support. Optional paid apps and payment-provider fees are separate and explained first.

Bring your own domain, or we can arrange one at cost. We'll manage it without a management fee for as long as you pay the registration and renewal fees on time. The domain is yours; we'll agree registration, recovery and handover arrangements.
