The challenge

The previous webmaster of the village website was retiring and no longer had the time to update the website resulting in a popular village website slowly becoming dated.

The solution

Working closely with the previous webmaster, a focus group from the Long Melford Business Association (LMBA) and the Parish Council a bespoke content managed solution was created enabling businesses, the Parish Council, local organisations and charities and members of the LMBA to update the village website.

Spreading the updating responsibility greatly increased the participation of content to the site resulting in an up-to-date village website.

The functionality

• Login area for LMBA members
• Login area for the Parish Council
• Login area for registered users
• Full navigation control
• Full page content control
• Registration facility for new members
• Online payment facility for new and renewing members
• Facility to add individual pages for businesses and organisations
• Control of registered users information
• Facility to add details of what's on in the village
• Facility for the Parish Council to add minutes of meetings, press releases, planning applications and much more
• Latest news can be updated via the LMBA and Parish Council

The result

The redevelopment of the Long Melford website has resulted in the websites visits increasing year on year with relevant companies, organisations and the Parish Council keeping their own individual sections up-to-date without the need and responsibility for an individual. The website now forms a large part of the LMBA efforts in continually attracting interest to Long Melford.
