| THIS WEBSITE - Monday, October 05, 2009 FakenhamWeb has been running since 1999. During that time, it has been the only site promoting the town (albeit in an unofficial capacity). At the first Kickstart Fakenham meeting, it was proposed that there should be a new 'official' site, to provide a focus for the town's internet presence and links to other area websites. I have provided a domain and free hosting for this project and Kickstart people have been working on it for a while now - it should be launching before too long. This has given me the opportunity to 'retire' FakenhamWeb and re-invent it elsewhere. I have now done that and have launched a new personal site at fakenham.org.uk - you are cordially invited to visit, subscribe and make any contributions you wish. FakenhamWeb still gets lots of hits and has established a good presence on Google, so will remain live for the time being. Promotional content has already been transferred to Fakenham.org.uk for archive purposes. A decision regarding the free pages I've provided for community organisations will be made after the new official site has been finalised. Steve Hall (webmaster) (full story) |
