Do you want a good value business intranet?

A website with private content management tools?

Or maybe just a low-cost website you can edit yourself?

If you've looked around, you'll realise that proprietary business management software costs an arm and a leg for the software alone. Now you can have your own open-source Mediawiki, the secure and stable powerhouse of Wikipedia, for no more than costs and labour.

Your Own Mediawiki

A Mediawiki gives you or your security-approved users the power to change the contents of the site, selecting the pages you want readers and customers to see, while offering collaboration and online business and productivity tools for your staff or private users.

Unique among its type, Mediawiki comes with complete history, so all activity is automatically preserved for auditing. Any Mediawiki can be hosted and updated by any skilled Mediawiki professional, you will never be stuck with any one provider.

For as little as $NZ500 ($US300) you can have a your own Mediawiki installed and ready, and hosted for as little as $NZ150 ($US100) a year. We charge for costs and labour only, Mediawiki software itself is free and open-source.

We are also happy to provide support for your installed Mediawiki.

Wiki Organisation

A simple Mediawiki works fine straight out of the box for smaller users (like this site), and offers skilled users and programmers free use of all its great potential.

However, most businesses and groups benefit from a content management system which has an organisational system up and running.

If that is you, Wiki Organisation is a customized information exchange, content management and staff collaboration system for your business, deployed in consultation with you. (P.O.A.)

We can make your new site or intranet look great, and in particular, make it look yours. We translate the look of your existing website or corporate theme into any PHP-based content management system (Mediawiki, Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress). From $NZ500 +GST ($US300).
