Looks like someone is in the process of clearing out old data, but there's still lots up on the other pages.

At least it means someone is being paid or is volunteering to do something with the site. As Omniweb is an agency I guess they aren't doing out of the goodness of their hearts so it might be a good sign.

Nothing new on WhoIs, though:

Gordon Bennett .....  my ticker can't take much more of this!  It's probably 'no news' anyway  (but I hope I'm wrong).

Looks like it is being built in Bootstrap, judging by the structure. I am not sure that the old site was.

If they wanted cheap, should have used WordPress (which is what I do support for).

Didn’t Pudsey say something about socials going live soon? When I hit the link in this thread it takes me to a page headed “donate”.……….which has some irony to it  :)

I don't know anything about omniweb, but the site was being hosted by a friend of mine's company. The administrators ensured they were paid in full to make sure the site didn't go down.

I guess that's hopeful?

Running code inspector on the site, and comparing it with historical version. It is still basically same code (no sign of Bootstrap, just JQuery).

Therefore whoever has amended the site must have done so with the help of the administrator to be able to access the structure and site-specific modules.

It's built in Umbraco, which makes me suspect my mate did more than the hosting as that's what his agency specialises in.
