The Website is important as it is an open site and thus potentially the first point of contact by those seeking information about Letchworth.
The Website can be accessed at lalg.org.uk
Group contacts are responsible for ensuring that the information on the website is accurate. This can be achieved by yourself, or another group member, becoming a content editor and putting the information on yourself. This is especially useful if the group has a lot of information on the website or it needs to be updated regularly. To become a content editor contact website@lalg.org.uk . For groups without a content editor the web editing team carry out the updating using information that will appear in the next Newsletter.
The menu bar gives access to information on the LALG website and to specific information on the over 125 Groups which cover the arts, sports, crafts, food and drink, games and travel. Each Group Page contains a general description of the aims and activities of the Group and any other information which does not change frequently. The Group Logo is usually included and photographs can be added (with the permission of those featured) as plenty of space is available. An aim of this page is to attract new members.
- There is a search capability, and on the right-hand side of the display the name of the Group Contact and a list of future Group Events.
- Future events for many months can be added, typically until the end of the calendar year. This is useful for regular meetings, e.g. Sports Groups for which the details do not change.
- The date of each event is automatically entered in the LALG Calendar (Calendar is opened by Events in the menu bar).
- Information on past meetings, including photographs, can be presented on the Group Page beneath the heading Articles. Many groups use this to keep a record of meetings and significant events.
