- The Sierra Leone Web was launched in February 1996, the first niche news service on the internet. It was also the first website to archive news.
- In 1996, the “World Wide Web” was just beginning to emerge from the era of gray backgrounds, and “Gopher” was still a common way of presenting information online. Popular software included Netscape 1.0 and “Internet in a Box.” Computer stores sold books teaching web design in ten easy lessons and the “Internet Yellow Pages.” Commercial news websites were still years away.
- The website continues to be active, with many resources reflecting life in Sierra Leone today, and in history.
- Wedding planners are individuals or small companies who specialize in tailor made weddings for couples planning to get married abroad.
- Most wedding planners abroad operate in a specific country or a specific region within a country giving them the advantage of knowing a particular area very well.
- A wedding planner will take the time to personally get to know you, understand the type of wedding you would like, make recommendations and organize your wedding according to your wishes. You can have as much or as little involvement as you would like in the planning of your wedding.
- Many wedding planners abroad charge a flat fee which is usually determined by the number of guests you have at your wedding. The advantage of a flat fee structure is you know the wedding planner’s costs upfront and any discounts or savings they secure from suppliers on your behalf you will be passed onto you and not taken as commission by themselves.
