The Sparta Expositor

Small town bi-weekly newspaper site done with UD. Includes back end area for staff to upload news story text & photos.

The Sparta Expositor is a hometown newspaper serving Sparta, Tennessee & the White county area for 125 years. The Expositor’s previous web site was a standard text & graphics site which the newspaper hired a local host to maintain on a weekly basis.

Understanding the need to change, add, edit & update news on their site as needed, the staff at The Expositor chose to bring maintenance “in house” to better serve web site visitors.
