About Growing Your Website

What basic information should I put in?

• Contact information for key persons in your community; eg, councillors, church, doctors etc.
  
  
• Organisation details to encourage them to flourish, keep in touch with existing members and attract new members.
  
  
• News and Events; These two items are essential to mainatining user interest and keep them coming back to the website

How do I encourage local groups to set up their own pages?

• Promote the existance of your parish website through your local magazine, shop window and word of mouth
  
  
• Contact all known organisations and encourage their input. TLC is always happy to get people started.

How do I get people to view our website?

• Again, promotion through other sources (local magazine, shop window, notice boards etc) will get the initial interest.
  
  
• If you maintain the News and Events listings in particular, eventually people will come to rely on the website as a reliable source of up-to-date information. That in itself will generate additional entries to the website which in turn will generate more interest.
