LATEST NEWS from Susie Berry SE Region Trustee.
Site-builder, which has been around for years and been used by many u3as to set up websites without the need for technical expertise will be discontinued and u3as using it will be migrated to WordPress (another system which will allow websites to be built and maintained by non-technical people) by the end of 2022. The migration will be “automatic” and will not need expert support. Guidance and online course will be available. WordPress will link with Beacon, if the u3a wants that link.
Beacon the company which held the Beacon contract was taken over by another firm. Beacon is now being run by “a large team” who will continue to upgrade and change the system as needed.
