A Fraserburgh community website project was relaunched yesterday in the town’s Cafe Connect.
Headed by Ian Brown, the chairman of the website group, VisitFraserburgh aims to create a hub for locals and visitors to the town to use in order to find out more about events and places to see.
Mr Brown said last night: “This site has been completely updated with an exciting front page showing a mosaic of colour leading to the various interests.
“The design makes it easy for young and old to navigate with one or two clicks.”
He is encouraging local businesses and groups to get involved to further improve the website’s experience.
A team at Cafe Connect, the hub for the website on Broad Street, will curate the webpage.
The project was first started in 2010 when the need for employment and personal development opportunities for adults with disabilities was identified.
Martina Hickey-Laing, manager of the local resource centre which further helps adults with disabilities, added: “The launch of the website celebrates much work behind the scenes of the project members and staff who have tirelessly uploaded local data in order that the site can be as up-to-date and relevant as possible.
“The project is to be commended for the continuous effort everyone has put in.”
Mike Chandler, the chairman of Fraserburgh’s tourism group, said the website would highlight what the town has to offer.
“Fraserburgh needs a tourism portal like VisitFraserburgh. It’s what all tourists will look at when coming to Fraserburgh.
“I think it’ll do good and will get lots of people into the town,” he added.
