The Problem
Sleaford Playhouse is run by volunteers, not a marketing department. Whoever holds the Publicity Manager post changes over the years, but the theatre still needs its website, domains, and email working every single day, with nobody having to chase a developer down to keep it that way.
What I did
I was introduced to Sleaford Little Theatre in 2006 when they needed volunteers to operate sound and lighting for their productions. I went on to become the society's Publicity Manager and held the post for 15 years, building and developing the website into what it is today.
The site runs on Drupal, with MailerLite handling email subscribers for events and updates. I'm no longer directly involved with the society day to day, due to the travelling distance, but I still host the website, manage their domains, and support them with email. I also support the current Publicity Manager with whatever the website needs, so the technical side stays out of their way.
The Result
Nearly two decades on, the society has never had to go looking for a new developer or work out who's responsible for keeping the site online. That's still me, quietly, in the background.
