  7. So What Happened? • Wordpress is excellent, professional & easy to use. • 1000 hits in first month & only 3 days since launch with no visits at all. • Now have up to 10 individual visitors per day. Browsing an average of 5 pages each. • Small number of residents have now made at least 1 post each. • 2 serious debates generated re dog fouling and traffic issues. Community Website Review Evening 29 May 2013

  8. So What Happened? • Parish Council takes feedback and posts all meeting minutes within hours. • Home page promotes village events and used to cascade news. • Borough Councillor has Editor status – can Post on matters impacting Wilby. • Wilby Whispers at a critical stage. • Useful Links provides quick one click reference point. Community Website Review Evening 29 May 2013

  9. What Could Be Better? • • Very hard to get more people directly involved. • • Need more posters – reluctance/lack of confidence? • • Lack of follow through by key individual supporter at launch. • • Need for more input and involvement to increase and broaden appeal. • • Site activity now plateaued and no youngsters involved.
