In 2020 our website passed the landmark of one million views since it was first launched. It has served us well, but is built around a dated free template and before mobile browsing became the norm. It is now showing its age so it is time to move forward. We were lucky to be awarded £9,000 from the Hospital Saturday Fund towards the cost of site redesign.
We are hoping to launch our new website by February 2022. We are currently going through final testing and tweaking of the site so it is almost finished. With Christmas looming, and the ongoing needs of volunteers' health, we are going to give ourselves plenty of time to iron out any technical glitches and hopefully provide a seamless transition to the new site. The charity website still has over 20,000 hits each month so it is important to make sure that quality experience and content continues into the new site.
Upon completion of this latest IT project the charity will be looking for more volunteers or trustees who have an interest or knowledge of IT generally.We have always been quite advanced in our use of technology. From the outset we worked remotely using the latest cloud technology which enabled us to weather the impact of Covid-19. With wider issues such as cyber security, data protection and the ever changing world of apps and technology, the charity needs a motivated team of volunteers who can keep up ahead of the game. If you have an interest or knowledge of IT and would be interested to know more, please email cerian.baldwin@csfleak.info.
