New website discussion
A discussion around the wants/needs of creating a new website.
For context:
The current B&NES Green Party website uses a content management system called ModX. This CMS is very limiting and restricts us to doing minimal page updates and news posts.
I (Gina) am proposing that we look at creating a new website that would use WordPress as its CMS. Allowing us to have full freedom to host on-site petitions, have campaign specific sub-domains and more.
I would be the person creating this new site. It would either be a purchased theme that we could customise (around £60-90), or something I code from scratch (would take longer and is more work for me but is free).
N.B: Please discuss below your wants/needs/ideas for the new website.

I've been working on a potential structure for the new website (see image). Feedback is very much welcome on this but in general it includes all the current pages we have now with a little simplification. It also includes a few extra pages, like one specifically for Lin and one for Young Greens.

Great work put in so far there @ginagraingerwindri as I know you've been reviewing the website for a while.
As someone who's used ModX for BaNES and SWGP - this would make content creation and management so much easier. Allowing more people to get involved, but also make volunteer less wasted trying to use an outdated system
