Facebook posts disappear in a day.
The notice about the clean-up or the match is gone from people’s feeds by tomorrow. And plenty of people aren’t on Facebook at all.
Your town, online.
A proper website for your town or village: what’s on, local businesses, clubs and news, all in one place. Easy for volunteers to keep up to date, and no hosting fees, ever.
- Live in 3–4 weeks
- €2,000 once
- Owned by your town
Sound familiar?
Your town has plenty going on. It’s just hard to find.
The old website died when its builder moved on.
Someone kind built it years ago. Then they moved away, the password went with them, and the site has said “Christmas 2019” ever since.
Visitors and new residents can’t find anything.
Where do I park? When’s the bus? Is there a GAA club? Who do I ask? The answers are all in people’s heads, not online.
What your town gets
Everything in one place, and easy to keep up to date.
Each part is built so a busy volunteer can look after it in minutes, from a phone.
What’s on
Every event in town in one list. Anyone can send one in.
Business & club directory
Shops, clubs and services, kept up to date by the people who run them.
Town news
Short posts with photos. As easy as Facebook, but they don’t vanish.
Getting here
Bus times, parking and maps, so visitors stop ringing the shop to ask.
Your town’s plan & projects
A public board of what the town is working on, and what’s been done.
Have your say
Resident surveys and a “report an issue” form that lands in your inbox.
How it works
Four steps. Very little work for you.
A 15-minute chat
Tell us about your town and your group. We’ll tell you honestly if we’re a fit.
We gather the basics
We collect your listings, photos and logo, and load them in. You send what you have.
Live in 3–4 weeks
Your site goes live on your own web address, in your town’s colours.
One hour of training
A friendly session for your volunteers, online or in person. That’s all it takes.
Built in Headford
We started with our own town.
Baile grew out of Headford Online, the community website for Headford, Co. Galway, built with HADA, the town’s development association.
- A directory of local businesses and community groups
- Content contributed by residents
- Bus timetables, in one place

We’ll give you the paperwork: a quote, a one-page project description and outcomes wording.

No hosting fees. No monthly bill. Your town owns the site.
