Syndication FAQ|
- What is the Do-it syndication service?
Do-it syndication means that the Do-it opportunity search is fed through to your website and kept automatically up-to-date. This enables people to search the Do-it database without leaving your site. It's straightforward to set up and easy to maintain.
- Can I tailor the search?
Yes, some organisations only present the opportunities that they have already uploaded onto Do-it. Other organisations choose to show opportunities from selected categories only.
- Can I do what I like with the data?
No, the data is still ours. The only data you can change is what you upload to Do-it.
- Can I make the search fit in with the design of my site?
Yes, as long as you comply with the Content Licence Agreement you can present the search in the look and feel of your own website.
- How do I upload my opportunities?
There are three different ways to upload your opportunities onto Do-it; via your local Volunteer Centre, via V-Base or via V-Base Recruiter. Deciding which option to choose depends on the needs of your organisation. Please contact us to find out more.
- How much does it cost?
The annual fee for syndication depends on the income of your organisation and the service you choose. Please see the price list for full details.
- Why do I have to pay at all?
YouthNet, the organisation behind Do-it, is a charity, but we still have to pay our way. We believe that the pricing structure is fair and represents good value for money.
- What technical requirements are there to set up syndication?
If your organisation has a website then you can probably syndicate our opportunity search. You will need a programmer to write the pages and code for the search on your site, but it's usually quite straightforward. A full technical document is provided to all partners.
- What happens if I have problems once I've started?
We provide technical support to all organisations who sign up for the syndication service.
- Which other organisations syndicate the Do-it search?
A wide range of different organisations syndicate Do-it's volunteering opportunity search.
- How do I apply?
