Nice wee sites

Today saw Nice Wee Sites involved in a large event in the high-tech and comfortable surroundings of Nunton Steadings in Benbecula.

Several speakers ran presentations and workshops on aspects of website design and maintenance. Our first presentation gave an overview of the Isle of Berneray Community website, concerning how we went about the design, obtaining content, involving the community, and maintaining the final website.

Our workshop later that day, entitled “So you think you want a website?”, went into more detail about the criteria and decisions involved in commissioning a website. This was a more open session, and an enthusiastic group of potential website owners grilled Nice Wee Sites on many aspects of getting and owning a website. Nunton Steadings has broadband, meeting and conferencing facilities, so we could demonstrate lived editing of a website.
