Illustrious

Sites

A website that is looked after, on your own domain

Structured pages that stay consistent as they grow, hosted by us, with certificates and DNS handled. You edit the content; we run the thing it runs on.

For an organisation that needs a site that works and does not want to become its own web host. Most sites here are a handful of pages — home, services, about, contact — and the point is that they stay correct: the phone number on every page is the same phone number, the certificate renews itself, and the contact form lands somewhere someone reads.

What it does

Structured, not free-form

Pages are built from blocks we maintain — hero, services, gallery, before-and-after, testimonials, FAQ, events, roster, newsletter — so a page cannot be broken by a stray tag and stays readable on a phone.

Blocks, not a blank canvas

Readable on a phone by default

A heading outline a crawler and a screen reader can follow

Your own domain, or ours

Every site starts at your-name.sites.illustrious.cloud. Point your own domain at us and the certificate is issued and renewed for you.

HTTPS handled automatically

DNS instructions in the dashboard

Add www and the bare domain

Content you can edit yourself

Change the words, the pictures and the order of pages from the dashboard. Adding a page adds it to the navigation and the sitemap; nothing to redeploy.

Edit from the dashboard

New pages join the nav and sitemap on their own

Images carry alt text, so they say what they show

It feeds the rest

The contact form is not a form service: enquiries land in your dashboard and your inbox. A sign-up block feeds your newsletter, and events and roster blocks show a community's schedule and members.

Questions

Which plan includes it?

Every plan includes a hosted site. Free publishes at your-name.sites.illustrious.cloud; Pro adds your own domain, with certificates issued and renewed for you. The pricing page has the rest of what each plan holds.

Do I have to use your site to use the rest?

No. A site of ours feeds enquiries straight into the dashboard, which is the tidiest route, but customers, scheduling, invoicing and the rest work without one.

Can I leave?

Yes. Downgrading deletes nothing, and you can ask for a copy of your content at any time. Your domain is yours; you point it somewhere else.

Will you promise it ranks?

No, and nobody honest will. What we do is make each page clearly about the thing it is about and keep the site technically sound; the search page describes how we report on that.
