Be Seen On The Ashhurst Dot Org Website
To businesses, organisations clubs, sports clubs and community groups
If you are in the Ashhurst, Hiwinui, Pohangina and Raukawa areas, you have the opportunity to have your own space on our ADO server.
After 7 years of working on this as a hobby project, we are now offering you the opportunity to have an information page or a simple advertising space such as a pop-up, with your business card or groups contact information.
There is also the option of creating an account and managing or editing your own page whenever and however you want to - an advantage for sports groups with timetables, cancellations etc.
These pages would be hyperlinked off the appropriate Business or Groups pages to either a page here on the ADO website, or to your own website and will be setup so search engines can find you.
This is a free service - although any donations to cover "domain and hosting" costs would certainly be appreciated.
As a general guildline, the following criteria apply :
What you can include :
Almost anything! Colour, Text, Images, Graphics, Photographs. Any information about your group, business or organisation. Link it to your own website to generate traffic.
What you can't include:
Pornographic or morally objectionable material, anything that is hearsay, prejudicial, untruthful or culturaly insensitive. At this stage we are not accepting Adobe Flash, audio or video files.
Dimensions :
The area for advertising is 900 pixels wide - the width of this block of text. As a guide, we would prefer that your advertisement not be longer than an A4 sheet - but that's negotiable. The header, menu, and footer areas of any advertising page cannot be used or altered.
Format :
We will discuss this when you contact us, but DOC, PDF, JPG, PNG, RTF, TXT and ODT are all acceptable.
Editing :
An 'account' could be created on the server for your use. Then a 'page' would be available for the 'owner' to alter or change if they wish. Assistance will be given to those needing help with editing. Remember you can be as creative as you want. Alternatively, your could create the document or images and we upload it for you.
Privacy :
As with all internet websites, balance what you customers or audience need to see and know about, with what personal information you are willing to share. Remeber that the internet is a global network. Use a work email address or a work cellphone and/or Fax number, and a business postal or physical address rather than personal information.
The webteam will inspect any page and reserves the right to deny any advertisement content or page information that is submitted. Any page found to be unacceptable will be removed from public viewing until such time as it is corrected.
If you are interested in taking advantage of the option, email the WebTeam and we will get in touch with you and discuss options.
