Hi. Our high school band desperately needed a new website several years ago. The one they had wasn't being updated and didn't offer many capabilities.
I created our band website 3 years ago using my-pta.org. It is FREE! We have the ability to create volunteer events so parents can click to sign up and they will receive an email reminder they volunteered 1 day before and a thank you the day after. It also automatically keeps track of your volunteer hours; you can upload documents, clip art, photo galleries, calendars, and complete email service and more. ALL FOR FREE.
We also use their E-Commerce and created a "Store" so folks could pay for items online w/ a credit/debit card. The great thing we like with E-Commerce through my-pta.org is that we can select who pays the convience fee; us or the buyer.
You can select your website template looks and then customize them from there. There are several tutorials you can click on to learn how to manage your website.
The only thing I would have to say is their support service is slow, otherwise for all the things we can do with our website that is free we are very please.
Feel free to take a look at our website, I will try to add a link.
