Time has been invested in researching the best platform for this website. It has the ability to deploy new information to our live site at the click of the button whilst still allowing us to continually develop new features. This is known as continuous integration and allows us to deploy new static builds of the website whenever we create additional content so whilst the site may look pretty basic, this is down to the functionality and so we can spend less time on site maintenance and more time on content. It also provides a fast page load speed so you do not have to use your buffer face. The site is optimised for mobile phones which should make it useful for when people are visiting and need quick snippets of information. The whole aim is to publicise Sowerby Bridge as a wonderful place to visit in order keep those businesses within Sowerby Bridge flourishing.
Thank you for following our website and Facebook feeds this year. We hope that some of the information has been of use to you. All posts, listings and promotion is done so on a voluntary basis if or when when we have free available time, so apologies that we cannot supply you with more content and information. Hopefully in the new year we will be adding more businesses that we have not got round to listing this year as well as making some general improvements. **Our roadmap for the website in the year ahead is as follows:** Add photos Add more business listings Add more useful community information List appropriate Events that we find beneficial to the community Promote Sowerby Bridge as a good Place to Live, Work, Visit and do Business Try to include articles from local people into the site to generate more content for people to read. Make the site cover its own costs through ad revenue All that is left to say is ### We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

These include Squid Shock Tattoo, Larder Delicatessen, Albion Barbers, Moonbeam Cafe, Identity Hair Salon, Phillip Fearnley Photography to name but a few.
