Labour WordPress Network

For local parties

The Labour WordPress network is a service to support constituency parties, elected representatives and candidates in creating their own websites.

We will provide websites for the following:

Members of Parliament
Prospective Parliamentary Candidates
Constituency Labour Parties (CLPs)
Council Labour Groups
Elected Police and Crime Commissioners
Elected Mayors

The service runs on the world’s most popular website creation platform, WordPress, and costs £250 per year. We provide site hosting, domain names, and a flexible Labour-branded theme.

The service links in with a growing number of other Labour platforms, including displaying local campaigning events, showing a feed of Parliamentary appearances for MPs/MSPs and collecting donations for CLPs.

Highly configurable design

A range of Labour-specific functions

So as to provide a simple and secure way to operate a basic website, various elements of all sites are fixed to using a standard pattern – a common Labour-branded theme, a choice of the most useful plug-ins and easy to use content blocks. This does mean certain advanced functions that you could create using a fully independent website are not possible, but we believe the Labour WordPress Network provides the best way for the overwhelming majority of party units and representatives to create and maintain a website without needing to worry about configuring the software, carrying out updates or designing a Labour-branded template.

If there are features you feel should be added in the future, please do let us know using the feedback form below.
