How to make a website for a cooperative society

Members and people thinking of joining want plain facts about a cooperative society: is it registered, who can become a member, what it offers members, who sits on the committee and when the annual general meeting is. A small website states these facts and sends people to the society office on WhatsApp or phone.

What people look for on a cooperative society website

The society's full registered name, registration number and the year it was registered
Who can become a member: employees of one office, residents of a town, farmers of some villages
What membership costs: the share money and the entrance fee
Services to members, such as savings, loans or a members' store, with the current rates as the committee has fixed them
The chairman, secretary and managing committee, and when the next election is due
Notices: the AGM date, audit status and any change in rules approved by members
Office address, working hours and the person to contact

The pages your website needs

Home: The society's name, registration number, who it serves, and WhatsApp and call buttons for the office
About and committee: When and why it was formed, the area or employer it covers, the chairman, secretary and committee
Membership: Who can join, share money and entrance fee, documents needed and how to apply at the office
Services: Savings, loans or the store for members, with current rates and conditions as set by the committee
Notices and contact: AGM date, important notices, office address, hours and a Google Maps button

Sample words for your home page

Gangapur Road Nagrik Credit Cooperative Society

Serving residents of Nashik city since 1994. Members can save every month and apply for loans at the society office.

The society was registered in 1994 by a group of shopkeepers and teachers on Gangapur Road. It is run by an elected managing committee. Rates and rules are approved by the members and the committee and shown at the office.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide the pages. Most cooperative society websites need these pages: Home, About and committee, Membership, Services, Notices and contact.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your cooperative society, and paste it into AppCub:

Make a website for Gangapur Road Nagrik Credit Cooperative Society, registered in 1994 (registration number to be added). Pages: home, about and committee, membership, services and notices and contact. Members: adult residents of Nashik city. Share money ₹1,000, entrance fee ₹100.

Office near the Gangapur Road bus stop, 10 AM to 5 PM, Saturday half day. WhatsApp 98XXXXXXXX. Blue and white colours.

Tips for a cooperative society website

Show the registration number exactly as on the certificate; it is the first thing a new member checks.
Write rates and loan limits only as your committee has approved them, and change them in the chat the day a new rate applies.
Follow your registrar's rules on what a society may publish and offer; when unsure, ask the registrar's office or your auditor.
Put the AGM notice on the website as well as on the notice board, and take it off once the meeting is over.
Don't show members' names, balances or loans on the website; that belongs in the society's own records.

What it costs

Describing your website and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
Making it and changing it in chat uses credits for the work done: start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499 (200 credits, no autopay). Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
Publishing is free for an account that has paid AppCub once, at your-name.sites.appcub.ai.

Good to know

Members can't see their balance, apply for a loan or pay on the website; they visit or call the office. For a members' register with savings and loan records, use an app for the society office.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Should a cooperative society show its registration number on the website?

Yes. Show the full registered name and number as on the certificate, so members and new applicants can check it.

Can we show our deposit and loan rates?

Yes, as your committee has approved them, with the date they apply from. Change them in the chat when they change.

Can members check their balance on the website?

No. The website is public and shows only general information. Balances belong in an app with sign-in, or at the office.

Should the website say the society's money is safe?

Avoid claims like that. State facts: registration, the committee, audit status and the rules approved by members.

Can the website show the AGM notice?

Yes. Put the date, time, place and agenda on the notices page, and keep the notice board as well, as your rules require.

Can a housing or dairy cooperative use the same pages?

The same idea works: change the membership and services pages to what your society does, such as flats and maintenance, or milk collection.
