There is a free lunch (well, a FREE website anyway!)

| OurWaitakere.co.nz - free
local webhosting
|
Welcome to
OurWaitakere - where you could qualify for
FREE web hosting and FREE website building tools!
Waitakere aims to be the most online city in New Zealand
and the Waitakere Online community project is designed
to help as many local businesses and community
organisations as possible to develop a web presence.
Free webhosting
To help you do this, OurWaitakere, as host, not only
provides you with 50 megabytes of disk space for your
web pages, documents and images.
Free tools training
OurWaitakere also provides the templates and modules
necessary to aid you in building your own website, along
with three hours of tuition from Waitakere Learning
Centres - all costing you nothing - nix, nada, zip, a
big fat zero.
This is a DIY project and your job is to maintain your
website and keep it up to date - and we provide the
tools you'll need to do that.
Choose from one of the professionally designed website
templates and use modules to load your content into your
chosen design.
All our pages are also ADVERTISEMENT FREE - which means
that your presence isn't shoe-horned in around somebody
else's ad.
Of course, conditions apply - but as along as you're
straight up, legal and serving the Waitakere community,
chances are you'll qualify.
So
apply now to have your site hosted on
www.OurWaitakere.co.nz
So, how does it work?
When your application for a site is approved, we create
a blank site template. You will be issued with
information giving you a logon, URL, username and
password. FAQs and tutorials on how to manage your site
are also available.
As sites hosted by OurWaitakere are self-service, you
will need to spend a few hours getting to know your way
around the system.
The system is very flexible, allowing
you to expand your site over time as you learn to use it
and to add extra functionality such as surveys, forums,
events calendars, picture galleries, wikis, blogs and
RSS feeds, many of which would cost big bucks to
purchase commercially.
We're able to supply this service as part of Waitakere
City Council's commitment to supporting businesses and
the community. We'd love to hear your comments.
Simply
email us at
waitakere.online@waitakere.govt.nz to tell us what
you think!
