POTENTIAL communications - website design
Potential Communications designs and develops websites for charities and not-for-profit groups and individuals. Often such groups do not have the financial resources to employ a web designer, nor do they have the neccessary skills within their organisation.
Potential Communications designs simple but effective websites that can be found by those searching for the services they offer.
Potential Communications is a not-for-profit Christian endeavour particularly seeking to enable Christian organisations and groups to share the Christian Gospel on the internet.
In addition to full design or re-design and maintenance services, advice is available to those designing/maintaining their own websites. A selection of resources and advice is available on the Technical Resources page.
