What is UKnight Interactive?

Business

UKnight Interactive is a company that hosts our website and implements the software which runs our site.

Software

UKnight Interactive is a Content Management System (CMS).

  • It is essentially a computer program that generates a website on the fly.
  • When we want new features added to the site we have to ask them to implement the features.
  • We have control over the content of the site only!

Council Websites

Council websites...the building block of the state system.

Announcements & Articles

  • These are the basic content blocks for our websites.
  • You do not have to be a programmer to update information!
  • If you know how to use MS Word you can easily update and manage a site
