The accessible content management system behind this site has been developed with people with learning disabilities in the Rix Living Lab to make it easy for them to be active content developers and editors of these uniquely easy to use websites. Training is available for users of all ability levels to participate in the population and moderation of these specialist websites.

Satellite & portal combinations have been developed to enable organisations to develop multiple websites to include their clients with learning disabilities as contributors to the web communications of their organisations. This is another tried and tested package developed by the Rix Centre in the Living Lab to enable people with learning disabilities to be included online. Satellite sites can be offered to small local groups or even individuals to use as their own sites or ‘Blogs’ with use of the portal to moderate, sieve, sort and present the resulting content that is developed according whatever themes or other criteria the organisation wishes to present. The Rix Centre has a complete Training Package to support this unque form of accessible and inclusive Website production.
