New Site Aims To Engage Community

The Henley Standard has launched a new website and stated its aims to offer more “community driven features”.

Among the new components of the revamped site are video content, an updates service for mobile users and a Your Community section.

The video news feature kicked off with an interview with soon-to-be departing Henley MP Boris Johnson, who discussed his new position as London Mayor.

In addition to its video news content, the Standard is planning to install live web-cam feeds overlooking the course for next month’s Henley Royal Regatta.

The Your Community feature enables local schools and colleges to create their own web pages on the Standard’s site and is likely to be extended to include clubs and other associations in the future.

Spokesperson Jacqueline Alexander said: “The launch of the new site is not the end of this project, but the beginning.

“We have put together a foundation on which to build and plans are afoot to integrate more community driven features that our visitors can get involved with.”
