The initial function is to produce town or village portals-with a difference! So often, this type of site falls into one of two categories: Garish, blatantly advertising oriented link farms with little or no local knowledge / interest OR enthusiastic but amateur  local hobby sites.
 

What's So Different about Scene Online?:
Scene Online aims to combine and perfect the two concepts to provide the ULTIMATE local community portal. To achieve this we believe that local knowledge and involvement is crucial, and that the design should reflect the character of the community. Furthermore, just as no one would want to sit and read through a printed publication which contains only adverts, we feel that the site should be worthwhile, interesting and entertaining, with a magazine style format.

Our Mission Statement:

• That the design should be classic, attractive and user friendly.
• That any advertising should be tasteful and relevant.
• That it should provide a helpful service to the Community, with free sections for local societies to feature their news and events.
• That it should have a comprehensive Local Directory, featuring businesses and all essential local amenities from Doctors to Taxis.
• That it should provide an easy economical platform for small local businesses to achieve a web presence.
• That over and above this it should feature INTERESTING content - local news, magazine articles, local history, a virtual neighbourhood watch,  genealogy, Old Friends Search, Family Notices....plus some innovative features we're not prepared to reveal yet!!
• That it should  enable  community  involvement through provision of blogs, galleries  and forums.
• That it should be an ongoing process, constantly updated and developed.

Scene Online is the concept of a dedicated web / magazine publisher and freelance journalist of 20 years standing.

Our flagship site is currently in the final stages of development and is due online in June 2008. Ultimately the format will be franchised out to  other areas. Selected applicants must  have the experience and knowledge - both local and in basic website editing - to run the site to the required standards.
