Do You Need a Website?Yes, your unit DOES need a website! Competition for "recruits" can be intense and having a unit website will give you an edge by making your group appear more serious, devoted and authentic -- professional too. Furthermore, a website for a living history group is a very effective way to deliver information to their members and also, at the same time, educate the public about your group and who you are portraying. It's cheaper than a newsletter and more effective! One of the truly great things about a website for a reenacting unit is the ability to put your unit's assets "out front." It's also a good place to let the new recruit know what the unit is "about..." For example, if you're a "hardcore" group, you can let the potential member know this. Conversely, if you're a family-oriented or Christian group, you can also use the website to put out that message too.
