New Economy…New Website
Manchester’s Commission for the New Economy re- launched its website www.neweconomymanchester.com today (9 March 2010).
The website has been designed to provide a one stop window on the Greater Manchester economic position, providing visitors to the site with economic information, and an understanding of the impact of national decisions on Greater Manchester.
One of the key features of the site is the introduction of the Manchester Monitor which is a dashboard of Greater Manchester specific data and indicators designed to provide a monthly analytical snapshot of the economic wellbeing of the city region.
The site also features information and advice on funding issues, particularly in providing support to access European funding through a variety of separate funding streams.
The site was developed by Manchester web developers StardotStar who have created an easy to use system so the site can be managed in-house
Liz Reuben Head of Communications at New Economy says:
“Over the past ten months New Economy has changed and developed rapidly and we required a site that reflects the work in which we are now involved and is useful for our audiences.
The website is an on-going project that will continue to develop with New Economy. I hope that our website will become a well-used communications tool and a ‘favourite’ for business and public sector leaders alike.”
