Our website - Behind the scenes

Our heritage website is run on the platform WordPress. It was designed based on the concept of Content Management System (CMS). A CMS is where the webmasters and editors can manage the website through a user-friendly editing system (Martin, 2019). The most rewarding facility we have on our website is that contributors can submit old photographs, stories, documents and anything that is related to the heritage of our village. They can do this by filling a form with a title and text. They can also add image, video or pdf (Milltown Heritage Group, 2020).


This is a platform of open source archiving and could only be existence by WordPress (2020). Click on our website image to see what ICT did for our small community in Milltown:
