Wirksworth – another fine small town web site, forum, magazine

22nd February 2009 by William Perrin

Wirksworth is a Derbyshire town with a good community based magazine style website with a simple discussion forum attached.  Wirksworth.net is nicely executed by a local group of volunteers in a not for profit company.  The site integrates video from youtube, photos from flickr and a feed from the forum.  The forum is a simple vbulletin, but the site itself deserves recognition for a hand drafted content management system, rather than doing it the easy way in hosted typepad, wordpress or blogger.
