We chose WordPress in the end as it is very widely used and has a great deal of online resource to help when you get stuck. Next job was to choose a hosting service and domain name. The hosting service runs all the behind the scenes computer servers and databases. The domain name service provider gives you your web address. Many companies do both and most offer similar services. For your average small website it probably just comes down to price. If your intention is a for a website with perceived high demand and features (e.g online shopping and

Corona-Regelupdate Juni 2021

🇩🇪 · Stratum 0

Viel hat sich in den letzten Wochen und Monaten bezüglich der Corona-Vorgaben verändert. Auch wir wollen unsere Regeln an die aktuelle Situation anpassen und den Space wieder weiter öffnen. Einige der Erfahrungen der letzten Monate haben wir als sehr gut bewertet und möchten Teile davon auch ersteinmal bei behalten. **2021-06-20: Diese Regelung gilt ab sofort und ersetzt alle vorherigen Regelungen.** Im gesamten Space dürfen sich maximal 10 Personen aufhalten. Es ist ein Abstand von 1,5 Metern zwischen Personen unterschiedlicher Haushalte einzuhalten. Im Space ist eine Mund-Nasen-Bedeckung zu tragen. Ausnahmen hiervon sind die Nahrungs- und Flüssigkeitsaufnahme. Der Space soll primär für Projekte verwendet werden, welche zu Hause nicht umgesetzt werden können. Belegungskoordination: Der Space muss im Spacenutzungsplan-Pad reserviert und die Einträge ggf. aktualisiert werden. Es können wieder einzelne Räume oder der ganze Space reserviert werden. Per Default sind die Buchungen für die
