Launched in March 2010, the new site draws on lessons learned over the years. All the sections are clearly defined and all share a common look which, we hope, better shows off the strengths and attractions of the village. We’ve tried to create a modern, more colourful site, with plenty of pictures to help guide you around as well as a offer a great showcase for our gifted local and visiting photographers.
In addition, we’ve created a News section where we hope soon to be able to offer local groups like the Lavender Hill Mob and the Lions the ability to post their own news items as they happen! We also hope soon to allow Bed & Breakfasts and Hotels to post details of late accommodation vacancies directly on the site.
Inevitably, the changes mean that many page addresses have changed, so regular visitors’ favourite links may appear to be broken, but we hope you’ll agree that it’s worth the effort of changing them to point to the new website.
Looking slightly further ahead, plans are well advanced to refresh Hunstanton-On-Line in a similar way, and to create further sites for other local villages, with many links between them, further strengthening the value of the sites to the local community and businesses. Although you may type in the familiar www.heacham-on-line.co.uk address, the top of your web browser shows the pages as www.norfolk-on-line.co.uk/heacham on a daily basis. If you should find any errors (links that go nowhere, pages that don’t appear correctly) we’d be grateful if you could email us with the details, so that we can put them right. Promoting our local area is very much an on-going work and we are striving to learn and improve all the time so your feedback would be helpful.
