YOU VISITED THE NEW AND IMPROVED WHITBY ADVERTISER WEBSITE?

Earlier this year, the Whitby Advertiser launched its new website - have you visited it yet? The website can be found at www. whitbyadvertiser.co.uk and has many new features. It is easy to navigate and find what you want, whether you are out and about using your mobile phone or tablet, or at home on your computer. Here is a quick guide to what you will find.

Business Directory

A comprehensive business directory that works for both businesses and customers. Trying to find the telephone number of a business but don’t have a copy of the Advertiser to hand? Or need quotes from local plumbers for your bathroom refit and want ideas who to contact? Our online business directory is the place to go. It’s fully searchable so you can quickly find what you are looking for. If you are a business advertising with us, an entry in our online business directory to promote your company and its products and services is free, and is the best way to get your business known not only in town but much further afield, for example, a holiday let owner living elsewhere in the UK or even abroad can find local tradesmen all in one place by checking the business directory. Very useful and time saving indeed!

Community

Whitby is a thriving community much loved by both residents and visitors. There is always something happening, and plenty to write about – news, views, events, festivals, book reviews ... the list is endless!

On our Community pages, you will find our ever-popular What’s On listings, where local community organisations, charities, groups and societies publicise their meetings and events. Our regular contributors include Whitby Photographic Society, Whitby Antiques and Fine Arts Society, Whitby Civic Society, various branches of the Women’s Institute and Yorkshire Countrywomen’s Association as well as badminton clubs, walking groups and art groups. Events include bingo, domino drives, flower shows, cinema screenings, craft fairs and much more! If you are the organiser of a local community group, the What’s On listings in both our magazine and on the website is the ideal place to publicise your event. Just email us at info@whitbyadvertiser.co.uk if you would like your event including.

The Community pages also contains many articles which we hope will be of interest to you. Recent articles added include how a local man has raised vital funds for the work of St Catherine’s Hospice, and local communities giving the NHS a ‘Health Check’ for its 75th Anniversary. If you are a local community organisation and would like to submit an article and update everyone with news on what you are doing, please email us at info@whitbyadvertiser. co.uk. Articles such as entertainment, sports, the work of local charities as well as those of general interest are always welcome.

Quickly need to find the telephone number of the hospital, doctors or vets, or the local bus or rail company? A list of useful numbers can also be found in our Community section.

Previous Issues

Digital copies of all our previous issues can be found on our website. Powered by ISSUU, the world’s largest content publishing and marketing platform, you can easily find a previous issue of the Whitby Advertiser and quickly flick through its pages to find what you are looking for, without any annoying adverts popping up as you do so!

And finally...

We hope you will find our new website both useful and engaging. If you are a local events group, visitor attraction or community organisation with your own website, please get in touch with us at design@whitbyadvertiser. co.uk to discuss reciprocal links as this will help us create an online network of local resources.
