Ramsgate Town Website celebrates 10 years since its launch

2023 is a big year for the Ramsgate Town website, www.ramsgatetown.org, as it marks ten years since its launch.

There have been many changes and improvements over the years, including a homepage redesign, an added business directory and a full review on accessibility of the website.

In the 10 years that the website has been live, just under 1.5 million visitors have been to the website, visiting around 3 million times, resulting in over 7.1 million pages being viewed. The average visitor spends 1 minute and 10 seconds on a page and roughly views up to 5 pages per visit.

Ramsgate Town Council is extremely grateful for all those that use and access the website. Thanks go out to all the people who like and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube, your continued support and feedback that is received is highly valued. In total, we have a combined social media audience of around 11,600 people.

Ramsgate Town Council is developing a communications strategy to improve its communications with residents. A review of current communications will be undertaken, highlighting areas that can be improved going forward, including collaboration work with Thanet District Council. This will help remove any miscommunication and misunderstanding about the services that are provided by both Councils.

Recently the Council has agreed to employ an Active Ramsgate Project Manager to help lead the Active Ramsgate initiative and take it forward with fresh ideas and content. This project will work in conjunction with the Visit Ramsgate website, with the aim of attracting visitors to the town and to help them get the most out of their stay. The site features blogs, up-to-date trails, interactive maps and a stunning gallery provided by local photographers showcasing the area.

Thank you for your continued support and please keep your eyes peeled for new content on our social media and website!
