Villages-News.com would like to thank each and every reader for making our first-year more successful than we could have ever imagined!
Our team at Villages-News.com strives for excellence in every capacity. From reporting news on a continuous, 24-hour basis, to ensuring that no fact goes unchecked and no opinion goes unstated. We never have and never will cut corners to get the real news, right now.
It comes as no surprise that in our first year, we have become the number one website in The Villages, with more unique visitors and visits than any other website. When it comes to reading about local events happening in the community, tens of thousands of Villagers and residents of the surrounding area make their way to our website each and every day.
The beauty of Villages-News.com, however, is that our readers don’t have to be locally based. In fact, our website is read on every continent, every day. In countries where Villagers frequent, like Canada and the United Kingdom, we have a presence stronger than any other website.
Unlike any other traditional news source, our readers are able to read our publication from anywhere in the world to keep tabs on “Florida’s Friendliest Hometown.”
As part of our year anniversary celebration, you will notice some changes to our website in the coming weeks. Before some of those changes take place, we thought it might be useful to list some tips for using our website:
