SOUTHAMPTON and Fareham Chamber of Commerce today launches its new website.

Six months in development, the site promises to make it easier for members to communicate with the chamber.

Developed by Taylor Made Computer Solutions, one of the chamber's Gold Patrons, the site allows members to pay for events, training and other chamber services online.

The website also offers feedback forms, so chamber bosses can evaluate the services they offer, and a bulletin board, which will get members' views on a range of issues.

Ian Lockwood, commercial director of Taylor Made Computer Solutions, said: "We have designed the website so it is very easy for the chamber's staff to edit content and menu options, adding articles and pictures when they become available, without our input - the aim being to give total control to Chamber staff."
