Please tell us about the project(s) you’re entering into the North East Digital Awards: Best B2C website is what category we have entered as this is a brand new website that has slowly been developed over the last year, with the backing of Gordon Brown and my local MP and the DSA we are trying to get the minister of transport to assist in making S2D the OFSTED of driving schools but this seems to be a long process. We provide topical information to help new and old drivers alike and for potential drivers we have information aimed at them plus free mock tests supplied by the DSA.
Complete the sentence: I’m going to win a North East Digital Award because we are the first site to have developed this concept and until now had no experience of online business prior. Who else would get an invite to 10 downing street for a garden party because of the website!!! LOL
Complete the sentence: The North East digital scene is varied, exciting and also confusing if new to the scene like me! but there are good friendly helpful people to assist and advise you in the north with some outstanding companies and developers to carry work out.
Are you a Mac or a PC? PC
