OK – so this isn’t a software discussion. It’s time my website got an overhaul – long… long… overdue! Some of you will be reading this from redirecting from SeeWorcester, some of you will be reading this straight from my blog pages (the former probably represents 99.9% of the traffic – so most of you know what Seeworcester is all about – for those of you who don’t, well it was a labour of love, originally developed back in 2003, I decided I needed to know more about my home town, so I started a website… it spiraled from there really now. My little old fashioned local interest is a top five hitter when people are looking for Worcester of the web and I get a pretty decent volume of traffic… so in the interests of trying to get some people coming pack and giving it a bit of a 2011 makeover – I’m gonna revisit Seeworcester for some serious refub!
I’m probably going to ditch some of the less popular content, but most sections which already exist will be getting an update. The main bits of work I’m intending on carrying out are:
- Completely new look and feel – I’ll keep the simple nav though.
- New blog section – probably powered by WordPress, that way I can update the site more frequently
- Flickr integration – my gallery will go and other peoples photo’s of the faithful city can take centre stage!
- The forum will be making a return – hopefully with the increased traffic, we can get some discussions going. I’m hoping to get the recommendations etc. put in here so they can rated by you and not by me!
- New news feeds and up to date info. that will hopefully make this the place to come for all things Worcester.
Well that’s about it – there’s only me, so this may take a while! I’d love to hear from you all on any ideas, features etc. you might have – please comment here, or drop me an email at suggestions@seeworcester.co.uk – Thanks!
