What is the Labour WordPress Network?

  • The Labour WordPress Network lets you easily create a website—no technical setup or updates required.
  • It uses WordPress, a simple and widely supported platform.
  • All sites run from a shared core, using a standard but customisable design and approved plugins only.
  • To request new features, email support@labour.org.uk.

How do I sign up for a site?

What is the purpose of your website? What belongs there?

  • Think about who will visit your site and what they need.
  • Success is measured by usefulness, not size or update frequency.
  • Some content may be better on social media, by email, or in newsletters.
  • Keep your site simple, easy to find, and up to date—prominently display your contact details.
  • Share who you are, your role, and the areas you represent using familiar place names.
  • Present your information clearly and briefly for your audience. 
  • Write with your desired audience in mind. Include your priorities and activities, you do not need to include extensive information or detailed papers. 

Keep it simple

  • A simple site with key details and contact info is better than a rarely updated news feed.
  • A very infrequently updated newsfeed creates a much worse impression than signposting to a well maintained social media page.  
  • Most visitors only need basic information such as your contact details; more is not always better.
