The studio
Local councils and community groups are being asked to meet the same digital standards as big organisations, usually with one part-time clerk and no IT team. I make that part easy, so you can get back to the work that matters.
Services
Each one stands on its own or I can take care of all three.
Digital compliance
Everything the annual digital and data compliance question asks for, set up properly so your clerk can answer it with confidence.
.gov.uk domain / Council email for clerk and councillors / Accessibility statement / IT and data policy templates
Admin automation
The repetitive jobs that fill a clerk’s week, handed to simple tools that quietly get on with it.
Hall and allotment bookings / Forms that reach the right person / Automatic replies / Payment reminders

Ashbrook Parish Council
Parish council website and digital compliance
A village council with an outdated site, a clerk on personal email and an audit on the way. The new site puts the next meeting, agendas and reporting an issue one tap from the homepage, and sits on a .gov.uk domain with council email for every councillor.
Accessible design to WCAG 2.2 AA / .gov.uk domain and email / Accessibility statement and IT policy / Clerk training

Millfield Hall
Community hall website and booking system
Bookings used to arrive by phone, text and email, and one volunteer spent hours chasing confirmations. Now residents see live availability, pick a slot and pay online, while confirmations and reminders send themselves.
Live availability calendar / Online payments / Automatic confirmations and reminders

Thornmere Town Council
Market town council website
A busy market town whose council site was a wall of PDFs. The redesign leads with the town itself: what's on this weekend, a search that answers everyday questions and the council's work woven in alongside.
Search-first homepage / Events residents can submit / Report it, routed to the right authority
For parish and town councils
Your next audit asks about your website. Let's make the answer yes.
Councils now confirm each year that their website is accessible and their email sits on a council-owned domain. I handle the site, the .gov.uk email and the supporting policies in one go.
How we work together
- First A free review I look at your current website and email and tell you clearly what needs doing.
- Then One fixed price A single quote you can take to your next meeting. No hourly surprises.
- Next Design and build I design the site, move your content across and set up email. You see it take shape.
- Finally Handover and care A short training session for your clerk, then ongoing support if you want it.
About
I'm Abi. Hello.
I founded Derica Solutions to give small organisations the kind of digital support usually reserved for big ones. I studied Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science, worked in IT at the Science Museum Group and now support nearly two hundred dental practices as technical coordinator for an AI reception platform.
I'm used to working with busy people who need technology to simply work. You'll always deal with me directly, from the first conversation to long after launch.
