if their only reason for wanting a web site is to host permanent documents that don't scroll away and a calendar, FB can already do that.

Once you create a group (which I'm guessing Leilani's yoga friends have already done) it automatically includes the following sub-groups:

ABOUT (where you post the purpose of the group and any special info you want to be known about it, such as addresses, phone numbers etc)

DISCUSSION (where members post messages)

MEMBERS ( a searchable list of everyone who has joined)

EVENTS (not a full-fledged calendar, but scheduled events appear here where they can be found without having to sort through hundreds of messages)

VIDEOS (in the case of a yoga group, they could post instructional video here )

PHOTOS (for whatever purpose they might need)

FILES (using tools that are built into FB, they can create and edit text files for such purposes as group rules, sets of instructions, contact information etc etc etc. The FILES area can also be used for uploads/downloads of files the members may want to share.

GROUP INSIGHTS (not sure what this is for)


Advantages of staying with FB are as follows:

1) the members are already using it so there's no learning curve (except to use the features that are already there, but which they may not have been using)

2) it's free

3) whereas a website needs to be promoted and advertised in order to drive traffic to it, FB groups are instantly connected to an audience of millions if you make it an open group. If you want to keep it a small close knit group of friends, then make it a closed group.

4) the ability to moderate the site can be shared by one, many or all members, so no problem if Leilani (or anyone else) leaves the group.
