This site has been built, designed and managed by residents of Kingswells, who volunteer their time, so those working living, or simply interested in Kingswells can find out what's happening in this attractive village.
The website was the brain child of Claire Burt, a resident of Kingswells. It started life, in April 2001, as a simple HTML site. It became so popular, and grew so quickly with contributions from all over the community, that in 2005 another resident of Kingswells, Graeme Coutts, volunteered to build a site using a content management system.
The move to a content management system has been a tremendous success. It allows local groups, clubs etc., to contibute to the website and update their own webpages. It provides great flexibility for all types of community groups.
If you would like to find out more, please contact us at support@kingswells.com
