Welcome Registered Users and Visitors to Value Websites.

Easter is nearly upon us and with it the end of daylight saving and the cooling of temperatures as we reach mid autumn and brace ourselves for the winter to come.

All this co-incides with, for our family, the arrival of a new baby due mid-April. Our daughter and son-in-law are between assignments and staying with us for the arrival of our first grandchild - a rare privilege for prospective grandparents in our scattered world! Watch this space for news of the baby's arrival in our next mailing to you.

Over 80 Products & Services Available

Over 80 products and services are now accessible through the 'Products' link on Value Websites.

Using our Woogloo shopping cart and product inventory software we have during March, added the complete range of software, hosting, design, content and specials website products and services available from Value Websites.

This amazing range represents great value for customers and offers something for everyone who is contemplating establishing or enhancing their web presence. All prices are realistically and competitively pitched.

New Special Package Deal for NPO, Community and Church Groups Launched.

Many NPO groups are currently upgrading their initial (generation one) websites and taking advantage of new IT advances as they become more accessible. The Woogloo website development platform that we resell provides many options for website clients. As part of creating our product inventory, we have given some deep thought to what it is that a NPO, Community or Church membership group might benefit from including as part of their website.

While our powerful content management system is standard and includes valuable features like: top/side menu options, bread crumbs trail to home page, site search, image gallery, user registration/secure login, online help systems, etc. we have added some features that our experience tells us are very helpful. In particular this package includes: an online diary, customer relationship management system, tracked email marketing, news and events managers. Of course as standard we provide unlimited email boxes as part of the package too. All the committee and more can have their own dedicated email box on your group's domain name.

Our many years of working in the not-for-profit sector in NZ inform us that these communications and marketing tools are becoming a must in our internet-savy society. Being able to automatically email news and other items automatically to your membership base via email, as well as representing a significant cost saving, ensures everyone stays in the loop. And its so easy to automatically create a link to forthcoming events on your home page or wherever else you want it to appear.

The danger here is to underplay the incredible functionality of this package which can be used by trained and dedicated group personnel through our very user-friendly interfaces. We urge you to ask for a demonstration of this value-packed special deal. You can view it HERE.

How much?

We are providing $3,000+ worth of software, design and content for $1,495 + GST. With hosting, support and auto-upgrades at $49.95 + GST per month, we still make a small profit while giving your membership group what we believe is the best website deal around.

Visit us at the Wellington Bizzone Small Business Expo in Wellington at the end of July.

While it's four months away, Value Websites and Woogloo will join forces at this three day event from 22-24 July at the TSB Arena on Customhouse Quay, Wellington to display our wares. Closer to the event we will be offering some special deals that we urge you to watch out for. Amongst these will be some free Website Marketing Seminars in Wellington and the Lower North Island. Watch this space in May for our free tickets offer to registered members. This is a $20 value per ticket.

Finally, we're on a Membership Drive and we are asking you to help us to Promote Value Websites' Registration.
