Local UK History are committed to designing websites that are purpose built, attractive, reliable, user-friendly and affordable.
The bespoke Content Managed System (CMS) websites live on our server and provide a Login system enabling the page content to be controlled through the browser - No additional software is required. A number of users can be set up with permission to edit the content on assigned pages, spreading the load of keeping the website up-to-date and relevant. Edited pages remain offline until accepted by the overall Site Editor. Think of it like a newspaper with an editor and sub-editors.
The easy-to-use management tools remove the need for design or technical knowledge by providing the power to insert or edit a range of elements within a page through a few mouse clicks. Page elements can be added, edited, moved and deleted. Training is provided on how to undertake the upkeep of the website content. Familiarity with Word will help in learning how to use the online tools.
The style and layout of the website is controlled through a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) making for a consistent look and feel to each web page. The Cascading Style Sheet is set up during the design process and is checked for compatibly with the popular browsers. The use of the Style Sheet helps in making the website accessible, for example visually impaired visitors using specialised software can override it with their own Style Sheet so making the content of the site easier to read.
Each website has the facility of checking on the viewer statistics for each web page and a ‘paper’ trail on who has edited what pages.
