Could you help me?
Could you tell me how the following sentence sounds?
If it sounds unnatural, could you tell me why?
(You need not correct it because I already got a better sentence, corrected by another voluntary teacher.)
Since I couldn't find out any gramatical error in the following sentence for myself, I would like to know how it sounds.
Thank you.

Thank you for your help, Clive.
By the way, the following sentence is the corrected version of my original sentence. (Another voluntary teacher corrected it.)
Our goal is to build a business platform where events and meetings can easily be located online instead of relying on offline methods as other companies do.
As you see, "where" and "be located onlin

Hi,
I feel that 'a platform' supports a system or application or site, and that it is the system or application or site that should be referred to via 'where'.
What does it actually mean if I 'locate a meeting online'? What kind of information would I find?

Thank you for your comments, CalifJim.
By the way, the above sentences are not the one that I'd like to say, but an answer to Clive's question in his above comment.
Actually, I'd like to learn how to make my sentences more natural and fine, trailing differences between the native's wording and mine.

lucas21cBy the way, the above sentences are not the one that I'd like to say, but an answer to Clive's question in his above comments.Oh, OK. I guess I should have figured that out.
On the other hand, it seemed to me that you explained it better to Clive than you did in the original sentence.
