Once applicants meet the basic eligibility criteria they can start creating their own site using the easy-to-use content creation software accessed securely with a user name and password. Setting up this service is a target in the multi-agency Strategic Plan for Warwickshire. Warwickshire communities contributes to several themes in the strategy: education and lifelong learning, community involvement and information and access to services.
Ian Litton, e-government project manager, said: "I realised there are a lot of organisations out there that don't have a web presence at all. It's difficult for them to get started unless they happen to have a computer expert in the group and the web terminology can be quite off-putting for people who don't understand it.
"We chose a system with simple software that is as easy as possible for web newcomers to navigate but which also allows confident users to build more sophisticated web pages if required."
