HugoFox is the UK’s leading website builder designed specifically for community organisations like Parish Councils, charities, clubs and small businesses.
Unlike generic website building platforms, we know the unique challenges you face, including limited budgets, volunteer-run teams, regulatory compliance requirements, and the need for specialised features like donation tools, member areas and accessibility standards.
The HugoFox mission is to empower community organisations with a professional digital presence, without requiring extensive technical expertise or a substantial investment.
Who is HugoFox designed for?
HugoFox specialises in serving four main sectors, each with unique needs that generic website builders simply can’t address effectively.
Parish Councils
With a plethora of specific legal requirements, including Assertion 10 compliance, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards, transparency obligations, .gov.uk compliance, and more, it’s important for Parish Councils to have a reliable website.
HugoFox is a registered Parish Council Domain Helper Service (PSCDHS) provider, meeting all Government Digital Service requirements. Features like automated planning trackers, Operation London Bridge protocols, members-only areas and regular security monitoring make things even easier.
UK-Registered Charities
We offer our Bronze package absolutely free, forever, to all UK-registered charities, including professional website hosting, SSL certificates, and support, with no hidden fees.
We also include charity-specific tools, such as donation buttons, custom forms for volunteering opportunities and event pages, to help you run your website with ease.
Clubs
With the ability to create fixture lists, custom tournament sign-up forms, pages for teams and more, HugoFox makes building your club’s website quick and easy.
HugoFox includes purpose-built tools for managing multiple teams, displaying match and competition results, handling club bookings, and creating member directories that keep club communities connected and engaged.
Small Businesses
Smaller businesses and startups benefit from a professional website that can grow alongside their needs without expensive redesigns and rebuilds every couple of years.
HugoFox’s SEO tools, customer inquiry management, service showcases, and professional presentation tools help small businesses compete online without the complexity or costs associated with enterprise-level solutions.
What makes HugoFox different from other website builders?
Most website builders approach community organisations as an afterthought, offering generic business templates with features you don’t need while missing crucial capabilities they do need.
HugoFox takes the opposite approach; every feature is designed with community organisations in mind.
Built-in compliance & accessibility
Every HugoFox website automatically meets WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards and GDPR requirements from day one.
While other platforms require expensive plugins, constant monitoring, and specialists to achieve compliance, HugoFox builds these requirements into its foundation and updates them regularly without disrupting your website.
Accessibility requirements are regularly assessed as new regulations are introduced, and our team of developers ensure all websites are updated in line with these. Ensuring your website is not only compliant but also doesn’t alienate any potential users.
Specialised features for community needs
This includes features such as donation buttons for charities, planning trackers for Parish Councils, and encrypted member areas for securely sharing confidential information.
Unlike other website builders, where these features come as costly extras, they are built in as standard and integrate flawlessly with your website.
Easy to use
The HugoFox website builder is simple to use. If you can use email or write a Word document, you can manage a HugoFox website confidently from any device.
The entire system has been designed for individuals who lack the time to acquire extensive technical skills and don’t have the budget to hire someone else to manage their website.
The simple drag-and-drop interface allows you to build pages quickly and launch a website in just minutes from signing up.
Genuine affordability & transparency
No surprise fees, no forced upgrades, and honest pricing that respects limited community budgets.
UK-registered charities receive our Bronze package websites completely free of charge forever.
Parish councils, clubs, and businesses get professional features at genuinely affordable monthly prices with no contracts or hidden costs for storage, bandwidth, or support.
What features does HugoFox include?
All HugoFox packages share core capabilities that community organisations depend on.
Our Silver and Gold packages offer a broader range of features to support growing organisations and their evolving needs further.
Unlimited pages
Every website comes with the ability to add an unlimited number of pages, unlimited storage, and simple drag-and-drop editing that works perfectly on phones, tablets and desktops.
Purpose-built features enable you to create a page exactly as you want it to look, add images, videos, and everything else you need.
Content scheduling enables you to write in advance and publish automatically at the optimal time, with the option to share on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) to engage an even broader audience.
Communication & engagement tools
HugoFox helps you stay connected with your community through automated email alerts, which are completely GDPR compliant as they are an opt-in service.
Whether that means residents can subscribe to be the first to hear about planning application progress, or volunteers can sign up to help with the latest fundraising events, your community has control over what they need to know so they never miss out again.
With custom contact forms, you can easily collect vital information and store it securely on your website.
Compliance built in
For Parish Councils, this includes Assertion 10 compliance, .gov.uk domains from a registered PCDHS provider, planning tracker integration, and Operation London Bridge automated protocols.
For everyone, this also means GDPR compliance, accessibility standards, and proper data protection, all without the need for expensive legal consultancy.
With other website providers, new regulations often require complete website rebuilds and redesigns, which can be costly. HugoFox is designed to easily adapt to new rules, without you noticing a difference on your website.
Collaboration & security
Allow multiple team members to work together safely through individual user accounts with precise permissions, encrypted member areas for confidential documents and full audit trails showing who changed what and when.
Some other website builders require you to share the same password to log in, which isn’t secure, or they can only limit user capabilities to different roles. With HugoFox, you can choose who can edit exactly which pages.
With daily backups included at every level, even if someone deletes something vital, a backup of the whole site is only a few hours away.
Search engine optimisation and analytics
Every package comes with basic SEO capabilities, with Gold providing you with absolute control and extended features to enhance your online visibility.
Link your website to the complete Google Analytics toolkit with ease to track your website's performance, traffic, and gain a deeper understanding of who is using your website and how.
What does HugoFox cost?
Pricing reflects our commitment to making professional websites accessible to community organisations regardless of budget.
With many premium features included as standard, we keep our prices competitive and promise all UK-registered charities a Bronze-level website for free, forever.

Why do organisations choose HugoFox?
Organisations and community groups consistently choose HugoFox over generic website builders and expensive custom development for a whole host of reasons.
We’ve rounded up just a few of the top reasons our users have shared with us.
Specialist understanding of community needs
Unlike generic website builders, we designed our website builder with your needs in mind. Our UK-based support team has decades of industry experience and knows how to help you quickly, without using overly technical jargon.
Genuine long-term affordability
Absolutely no hidden costs or unexpected price hikes, you’re never tied into a service, and our pricing is completely transparent.
Many generic platforms quickly become outdated, needing custom development time to ensure your website remains compliant. This often means an expensive website rebuild every couple of years.
Our team handles all the updates behind the scenes to ensure your website remains compliant. Since we built our system specifically for you, you don’t have to worry about needing a new website.
Reliability & security
HugoFox guarantees 99.9% uptime for your website. We continuously monitor your website, provide automatic daily backups, and have immediate restoration capabilities.
You won’t need to worry about losing your data or your community being unable to access your website when they need it.
Community impact focus
Product decisions at HugoFox are always designed with community impact in mind rather than profit maximisation. If you tell us you need a new feature, our team of developers will start looking into it.
Free for UK-registered charities and offering affordable pricing across all sectors, with transparent costs and a genuine commitment to community success, it’s all just part of our fundamental mission.
HugoFox's build-once philosophy makes it a revolutionary website builder for communities that don't have the budget or time for rebuilds.
