I Can Teach You To Build Website Pages

Formed in 1956 Aireborough Historical Society asked me in 2012 if I could build them a website. At the time I thought it might get to 20 pages. Today there are more than 2000 pages of which the vast majority have been added by their own team members. The site has received millions of page views and someone from most countries of the world with the exception of Outer Mongolia have viewed at least one page.

What to me is remarkable, Aireborough is a district of Leeds. It was one of the first places to join the industrial revolution more than 200-years ago. Few places have such a well documented history, not just pictures but thoughtful text to go with the pictures.

I created a base structure, and they replicated and swapped out unwanted pictures and text and replaced that with the relevant text. Virtually all training has been done remotely and no-one under 50 has worked on the project.

20 pages will probably do for most people’s website so probably it is not worth going through the pain of learning to do this yourself, but if you are aiming for thousands of pages then that is another matter.
