Summer 2002 Newsletter - Page 6 |
www.bridgwater.netLet me start by saying a big thank you to all visitors and contributors to the site over the past couple of months. Since the last newsletter the site has seen plenty of changes and new content from Chilton Trinity School, Centurions Carnival Club, new content on the Docks project ‘Breaking the Surface’, and a whole new section on the Bridgwater Castle Trail. The site statistics show a total of 81, 289 hits to the site between May 1st and July 1st. The recent Somerfest proved to be a big hit locally with a record number of local visits to the website during the past month. A comments form is now available in the Somerfest section for people to submit their comments on the festival. These comments will go direct to the Town Centre Manager. A selection of photographs from this and last years festivals are available on the website, just follow the links from the Somerfest section. A translation facility has been added to allow foreign visitors to convert the website into their own language with 25% of visitors coming from non-english speaking countries this could be a valuable tool. We have had visitors from Ecuador (105 visits in the last month!), Columbia, Guam, Turkey, Estonia and many more. The business section is being well used with many customers renewing their advertising this year, thank you. New advertisers on the website have been DNA Computers and Ian Beech Images with recurring adverts from Newmarket Hotel, Flowers International, Level 7 Computers, PHS, Thomas Wigmakers and many more with the most visited business areas being the business search page and the accommodation section. On the website is a guestbook where visitors to the site can leave comments. Whether these comments are praise or criticism, or personal messages they are normally left there for all to read. Any constructive comments are taken on board and the site improved or corrected whenever necessary. Here are a couple of examples of comments from the guestbook. From Kate Power in Canada ‘While vacationing in Dominican Republic, I met a lovely couple, Anne & Keef. They reside in Bridgwater. I was intrigued about where they are from so I looked up this site. It’s great! So nice it makes me want to visit. Hello Anne & Keef! So long everyone’. From Tom B. in Germany ‘Hi, I am a student from your twin town Homberg in Germany. This page is very good and interesting, better than our page www.homberg-efze.de Good luck’. From Ian Lorey in England ‘Hi. I just want to say how interesting I found the carnival segment on the website’. Thanks again for all the support and content additions from the contributors and visitors. Keep visiting the site.
