Age Concern Web-Site
This web-site is one year old this week. It has been developed in house and we do everything possible to try to keep it up to date.
In the last year we have had 652 new, unique visitors.(That's counting a visitor's first visit only and not repeat visits) We think this is a reasonable record but want to improve on it in our next year.
Perhaps YOU as a visitor might take a moment to tell us what you think of the site,
Is it what you wanted to see ?
Is it clear and understandable ?
Do you need more information ?
Any comment which would help us to help others will be listened to.
