On the 1st of February of this year I was hosting 41 Home-Start sites from around the UK with two of these in development. Since then one of them has been published.
It occurred to me that it might be a good idea to let you know where they all are. No two sites are exactly the same, and while I follow the branding guidelines issued by Home-Start, each site has the personal stamp of the local organisation.
If you have a few minutes to spare, it might be a good idea to have a look around and see how other people do things. There is no single magic answer, but some of these sites are showing the same things and have been handled in different ways. As such they may offer different ways of engaging your audience. You may see some features you do not have on your site and wish to explore those further.
Currently the list is located on this temporary website: http://wingrove-media.uk on the home page. It is not really a website, just a play area for me to explore ideas.
Sharing Info
It also occurred to me that each of these sites has a Google Analytics Token assigned to it (once they are launched). There are statistics for each site. Would there be any benefit in collecting data from each site and showing it distributed anonymously. For each participant, I could tell you the reference number for your organisation and see how you are doing compared to your colleagues? This might open a path for continuous improvement.
Let me know if you are interested in exploring this further: mark@wingrove-media.com
