hyndburn life website - Page 8

Anything is a waste of money done wrong. It could be good done right. Hyndburn or accy and district will need a portal.

If it was a good site which was regularly updated with accurate information and you could rely on it to be accurate then that would be great but apparently there was no IT bod on the council to keep it updated.

I wonder if "Clicks & Links" will yet again be involved? For those that do not know, this is the company that "designed" Hyndburn Life! They made major errors in their HTML coding and despite being informed by some accyweb members these early mistakes were not rectified

If this same company is used yet again, perhaps a close look into who is paying who - and with what funds might make interesting reading:rolleyes:

Well I don't know, but accyweb is here, it is already established without a great deal of expense couldn't local information be updated without too much expense on this site? Stanley, (for example), seem happy here, can the council not use the resources already available? Rather than spend money needed elsewhere?

All they need to do I'm sure is ask.

HyndburnLife wasn't supposed to be just a forum. It was supposed to be an informative website. I'm sure there are AccyWebbers who could maintain an informative website a darned site cheaper and have it linked onto here as the forum.

Maybe the prospect of all that criticising that we do of HBC was too much for them, but then again even if it's a council run forum they are still liable to get people on there voicing a critical opinion now and again.

This is far too interactive for a council website.

I understand the need for an official website - and also why they (the council) would shy away from amalgamating with a public forum no matter how successful.

Maybe someone will see the benefit of approaching an individual (yeah, I mean you amonst others Kipax, Ouch, that hurt) and get a far superior website for a cost that is value for money, with an ongoing update over a number of years.

Yes I quite agree, and they would tie it up with so much red tape, Stanley and the ordinary posts would disappear under the bumph, (but it would be a nice Idea)!

They could give me a part time job on minimum wage.. I am officially classed as disabled now so they would be doing there bit for the minorities

The pittance they pay me would be a drop in the ocean and they would get a website by someone who knows hyndburn and whats needed.. as well as 15 yrs experience... But back in the real world.. if they do advertise it they will ask for a graduate with all manner of degrees who doesn't know his bottom from his elbow..

Jobs for the boys winds me up sometimes..If anyone from the council is reading....Gizza job!

Maybe those banners about corrupt Dobson were not wrong afterall?

WillowTheWhisp · 03-07-2007, 19:51

I don't think that had anything to do with Hyndburnlife.

Tobi · 03-07-2007, 20:02

What were about then?

I think you will find that it wasn't clicks and links fault.........it was the people behind the website that had bidded for the money and then not used it properly.

I know when I had any problems with another website and got onto clicks and links direct they were more than helpful and rectified the problems straight away.

Thats just my opinion anyway.
