MTQ Launches Brand New Website

Just as Midland Trailquests passed a major milestone in signing up its 1500th member recently, another major step forward has taken place with the launch of a brand new website.

The new website is designed to reflect the position of MTQ as one of the largest membership organisations in any form of cycle sport, and to further encourage more people to come and try the exciting and challenging sport of Trailquesting.

The website retains all the features of the previous version but now uses an integrated forum - avoiding the need for double sign-ins - and the event entry process has been streamlined for improved efficiency.

A re-design of the website's structure now allows MTQ to carry advertising from carefully selected partners, whose products are highly relevant to MTQ members. This is an important step for MTQ as it does not receive any funding other than a small levy on entry fees, and this additional revenue will help MTQ run bigger and better events, market itself to a wider audience and improve the website further.

The website completely automates the process of joining, entering events and processing event results, which has meant that MTQ does not need a membership secretary. This frees the organisers behind MTQ to focus on promoting great events and growing membership numbers.

The website was developed by Web Application Development specialists Perceptis, whose Director Richard Case is a regular competitor in MTQ events.
