Assisted web-development
Low cost or free web development and shared hosting to get local small businesses and groups online and connecting with the world. We help islanders get past technical and cost barriers.
IT and tech support workshops
We’re helping locals build confidence with IT and technology so they can reap the benefits of staying connected and getting things done cheaply and quickly.
Supporting household level solar power
Our community has one of the highest electricity prices in the country and it’s fossil fuel based. We will be working alongside Rewiring Aotearoa to share information and support on going green with solar power. Cheaper and better for our environment, what’s not to get excited about?
