Our 4th community website goes live

We are delighted to announce the launch of knutsford.com, our 4th local community website, which we hope will appeal to anyone that lives, works, or socialises in Knutsford.

It is over 2 years since we launched our first site alderleyedge.com, which is now firmly established and reaches a very significant local audience.

In May we had 10,825 unique users on alderleyedge.com, to put that in perspective the population of Alderley Edge is approximately 5,000 and circulation of the Wilmslow Express in SK9 7 is 1668 copies, the vast majority of which are delivered free.

We very much hope we can emulate the success of alderleyedge.com, prestbury.com and wilmslow.co.uk with this new Knutsford website. There will be some overlap between knutsford.com and our other websites in regard to local events and the local business directory because these are shared across the network. However, we very much see these as separate websites, with each one having a great deal of unique content that will respect and serve each distinct community.

By expanding the area we cover this means that both the business directory and events calendar will be more comprehensive and useful to readers of alderleyedge.com as well as those who use our alderleyedge.com iPhone app which can be downloaded for free from the iTunes app store.

I'm not quite sure how I am going to find enough hours in the day to research, write, edit, attend events and meetings, take photographs and answer all the emails but I'm sure I'll find a way! If you have any friends or colleagues that would be interested in knutsford.com then please do help spread the word, it would be much appreciated.

We would like to thank all our readers for taking the time to visit alderleyedge.com, we know many of you do so on a daily basis. We want alderleyedge.com to serve the community as best it can so we welcome your views.
