Upgrade immanent

I came into the office this morning and checked my email, only to find that someone has left a comment on our blog.  It was asking about website upgrades, since there is a lot of information that can not be found quickly.

Well, let it be said that we do listen.  And we’ve been acting on it for a while now.  We are making a number of changes to the website, in terms of updating and information distribution and searching.  We’re also making changes to the way our pages work.  How long before these changes are rolled out, I don’t know.  But they will be done.  And we are still working on a fully translated website as well, so stay with us on this.  Please.

For this current menu system, we tried to organise it in some sort of logical order.  For example, if you want to find information about our Adult Education Project, you would select “Projects” from the menu and then select “Adult Education”.  Information about our Benefits Advice service?  ”Services”, then “Benefit Advice”.  But there are some links that you would no doubt like at the forefront of your time … but let us work on this.  We’ll try out the new features before rolling them out.  The only issue is that re-organising all the information may take a while.  But we are working on it.  Slowly, but surely.

Here’s an idea, how about the most important links get made as “Quick Links”?  We have a menu across the side of the page that contains important links, like finding a job, or contacting us, or even our office opening times.  I’m working on slight template changes, so I can put that in very soon.  In the meantime, you can use our search function.  This is updated every week, so it is really useful to find information.

If you want to make suggestions, leave a comment here.  It really couldn’t be simpler.  We can’t promise that every comment will get a reply, but we sure will try.
