ONE Scarborough charity could be the lucky owner of a new website following a special digital event.
Organisers of the Charity Code-a-Thon – which challenges participants to make a new website from scratch in eight hours – are offering their services to a Scarbor- ough-based charity free of charge.

Everyone is welcome to take part in the challenge and skills in the following areas would be appreciated on the day – HTML & CSS design, logo/graphic design, creative/copy writers, CMS/Backend development (eg joomla) and photography. Wi-Fi and refreshments will be provided to participants.

Following the Code-a-Thon there will be a free audio/digital festival at Vivaz nightclub from 10pm, where the results of the day's activities will be shown on a big screen.

Spectators who want to learn a bit more about the web development process are also welcome to the event.

The Code-a-Thon is taking place at Sigma bar, at The Cask in Cambridge Terrace, on Saturday March 15 from 9am-6pm.

It will also be streamed on the web live at http://www.digitalscarborough.org
