How the centre gets it
Five stages. West Acton went from stage 1 on 1 August 2025 to launch on 4 August 2025. Most centres should plan for one to three weeks, depending on how quickly content and sign-off come back.
| Stage | Centre provides | Chartena delivers |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Meeting | One hour: rooms, classes, prices, photos | Content plan and page list |
| 2. Draft | Nothing further | Working site on a preview link |
| 3. Review | Changes and committee sign-off | Revisions until approved |
| 4. Launch | Access to the domain account | Site moved to the centre's domain |
| 5. Handover | Names of staff who will edit | Admin logins and a training session |
