This site is an independent sub domain of the main Obesity Portal site. Its sole purpose is to provide information on the various MEND locations throughout the UK. The site utilises Google maps extensively via the API to produce a map page for each location and can be navigated via the front page map.

Further to this the site is a Content Managed Site (CMS) and has the ability to provide businesses with the ability to subscribe to their own page. This subscription will allow them to log onto their page and change/ update the content associated with their own business. This is designed to make it attractive to small businesses and organisations to have a web presence associated with the MEND program. The billing of the subscription is set to be annual and is handled within the site, payable via PayPal.

This format is also being developed on a number of other sites designed by PowerShock to build community websites that will give small businesses the benefits of a strong sophisticated website at a fraction of the cost.

Each subscribed user is given a user ID and password which allows them to edit their own page via a simple Word Processor type interface without the need for any special tools or high levels of skill.

This approach also allows the building of a much stronger site that can normally be obtained by the businesses within an area working together.
