About this site

This website was designed, set up and built entirely by me. Other than the paid domain, anyone could replicate this all for free with relatively little technical knowledge needed.. The services I use are:

  • The domain middlebridge.co.uk was registered through IONOS. This is the only paid part of the site.

  • I use Zoneedit free DNS to point the domain at the web hosting.

  • Google Sites is the web host on a free Gmail account. This massively simplifies web design and publishing, and was very easy to set up the domain. I didn't do anything for HTTPS, that Just Worked.

  • The contact me form is a Google Forms page added through Google Sites.

  • The Middlebridge Lines roundel logo is adapted by me from this logo at Wikimedia Commons, using Inkscape and the Gill Sans MT font.

  • All of my page header images are from a free account at rawpixel and credited (whether required or not), or when rawpixel obtained it from a further original source I have used and credited the first source (whether required or not).

  • All imagery on this site is used within the copyright license terms detailed at its source, all linked here or on the same page that it is displayed.

I am happy to give some informal advice and help if you are trying to set up a similar site, particularly for fellow railway modellers. If you are looking for a full web design and setup service, I am happy to discuss rates for paid work. In either case, use the contact me page to detail what you are looking for.
