For those who’ve been visiting GoldWings North West’s new website and have been frustrated to keep finding it in “Maintenance Mode”, our sincere apologies.
Here is a sneak preview. Click on the image to see an enlarged version.
Construction work by Nigel Mackintosh has already finished and Bob Summers had his first driving lesson on it this morning, so it should be up and running with interesting content very soon – hopefully by this weekend if not before.
This website is the prototype for an “off the shelf” Club website which will be available to GoldWing Clubs (or Regions) which affiliate with the Federation of UK GoldWing Clubs – this is just one of the novel benefits we are working on.
It will be very easy to adapt the stock website to your own Club’s needs, yet it will look truly professional – as if it had been specially built for you.
Apply an individual Club logo and Club title, change the colour scheme to suit the Club’s own style, enter some content (welcoming text, events, photos etc) and it will be ready to go live. It has been designed for use by non-experts, so your club’s own officers should be able to operate and adapt it without special skills. The Federation will even provide webshosting and technical support services, so you won’t need a webmaster yourselves.
There will be wide user-freedom to personalise the presentation and content of the stock website too. There are built in facilities for an automatic Events Calendar and an option to have a Chairman’s Blog, like the one you can see running already on the GoldWings North Wales website.
