One of our first ‘community development interactive web sites’. Launched in 1995, Gwydir Online was an early attempt at internet-based community engagement for collaborative community development planning. Launched well before the current craze for ‘Web 2.0’ interactivity, Gwydir Online involved various facilities through which community members could explore planning opportunities, access planning related information, and otherwise have a direct say in the unfolding of regional development. Associated with a large grant project, this web site has catalysed a continuing process of engagement that persists to date. The design called for simplicity and the facilitation of easy community access, even for those unused to the internet and the interactive possibilities on offer. The site was developed under the direction and design leadership of Lifecycling Designs founder, Roderic Gill.
