3tc Greater Merseyside ChangeUp Website Launched

Following receipt of funding from ChangeUp, 3tc launched a new interactive ICT website designed to make ICT more accessible to Greater Merseyside's voluntary and community sector. As with 3tc4u.co.uk, the ICT website is also managed through a backend and allows us to add dynamic content. The site provides a range of articles for users designed to simplify ICT.

Other features include an interactive forum that users can contribute to by becoming members via a simple online registration procedure. The comprehensive directory contains listings of direct relevance to paid and unpaid staff working in the voluntary and community sector. Useful weblinks are also supplied. Users can even subscribe to both article, and forum RSS feeds to ensure they keep up-to-date with the very latest news from the site.

The site is presently undergoing a major revamp. Previously launched using the Mambo Content Management System (version 4.5.2) the decision has been taken to completely update it using a pure Joomla install to ensure enhanced security and stability. Watch this space for news of its forthcoming return.
