It’s as
easy as
Getting your branch online
couldn’t be simpler – thanks
to GMB and Pellacraft

D

on’t worry. We’re not going to
tell you that you need lots of
experience in computers, or have
to be some sort of coding whizz
to get your GMB branch online. Pellacraft,
who has years of experience in building and
managing websites, is here to make creating
your branch’s website a doddle. Three simple
steps are all that’s needed to get live!

Decide on the Pellacraft
website package that’s right for
your branch (see table, right).
Prices start from as little as
£8.50 / month. Or go to www.
pellacraft-websites.com for
even more info on the choices
available to you.
Click on the ‘order your
website now’ button and
fill in all the information
required. You can decide
what information’s shown
on your webpage, and can
choose to include your
branch’s Facebook,
Twitter, Flickr or YouTube
account, too!
Sit back and wait for
Pellacraft to create your
branch’s website. You can
choose how many pages
you want displaying, how
much updating it will need
and get an email address for
your branch, as well. You’ll
soon be live on the web!

Any questions?

Q. I don’t have time to keep lots of
webpages up to date.
A. Don’t worry, you don’t have to! Here at
Pellacraft, we’ll link your site to the latest
GMB news from national and regional
websites (where available), therefore your
site will be updated every time they are.
So it’ll always look up to date – even if you
don’t have time to do this.
Q. I want to have a couple of pages on
the site that are specific to our branch.
Is that possible?
A. Yes. You can choose how many pages
you have that are specific to your site. We

can help you write and edit them or you
can do this yourself! It’s totally up to you.
Q. I take lots of pictures and post them
on Facebook. Can our site see
Facebook too?
A. Yes it can. So if you’re already posting on
your branch’s Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or
YouTube pages, your site can be tailored
(depending on the package) to show
these posts too.
Q. Our branch needs an email address…
A. That’s fine, you will get at least one
professional email address with your site!
