Editorial Control
By using a content management system, we have enabled all departments of the council to maintain their own areas of the website. Once pages have been edited they are submitted to the web team to be checked for accessibility, technical, plain English and other aspects including spelling and grammar, image sizes, page length and meta data.
In addition, the web team also needs to make sure that the content is relevant and displayed in the correct way so that pages within the website are consistent.
If you have had any problems at all using our website for any reason, please contact us and let us know. We will then look into the problem and try to make the necessary changes.
