The offices of MKWeb

OneMK.co.uk (formerly MKWeb) was the website counterpart to OneMK, the newspaper. Articles that appeared in the paper also appeared online at onemk.co.uk, along with extra daily news reports that may not have featured in the weekly newspapers.

MKWeb was the portal operated by Iliffe News and Media partially on behalf of Milton Keynes Council and accordingly described itself as the official website for Milton Keynes and North Bucks. The site was run under varying management from 2002. In June 2006, MKWeb was awarded the contract to deliver MK Council's web services for the following 5 years with an option for the Council to extend this for a further 3 years. The agreement was that MKWeb would develop and support two websites, www.milton-keynes.gov.uk and www.mkweb.co.uk, and present them as a single city portal.^{[citation needed]} In 2007, MKWeb’s parent company, Apollo Digital Developments Ltd, was bought by the Iliffe News and Media group.
