In 2017, John Aston wrote a book called Refuge of The Roads. This book was about motorsport and was part autobiographical and part reportage. John realised that he could expand his audience if he brought his book online. Having an online presence would allow him to reach readers that he would not have been able to reach with just a physical book alone. Therefore, we decided to build Refuge Of The Roads a blog website. A blog website is the perfect way to allow John to get his work online. A blog website is the perfect way to display a person or group’s opinion online.
John also wanted his readers to be able to leave comments on the posts that he added to the website. We decided to make this possible by building a ‘visitors book’ page. This allowed the comments to be in one place. Having the ability for users to leave comments on a blog is an excellent way to ensure you are provided your readers with topics that they want to read about. It also makes a blog website more interactive with its readers. Thus, making it a more interesting website to visit.
