Flashkiwi Content Management Setup, Hosting and Theming Services

Mediawikis and Hosting

Do you want a business intranet that doesn't cost you the earth? Or a good value website which also enables you to use private content management tools?

If you've looked around, you probably realise that proprietary CMS software costs an arm and a leg. But help is at hand in the form of open-source Mediawiki, the powerhouse of Wikipedia.

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.

All Mediawikis come with complete history, so all activity is automatically preserved for auditing. Mediawikis can be hosted and updated by any skilled Mediawiki professional, you will never be stuck with any one provider.

For as little as $NZ400 ($US250) you can have a your own Mediawiki installed and ready, and hosted for as little as $NZ25 ($US15) a month. We charge for costs and labour only, Mediawiki software itself is free and open-source.

Wiki Organisation

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

However, most businesses and groups would really benefit from a content management system with a system of organisation up and running as well.

If that is you, we offer Wiki Organisation, a customized information exchange, content management and staff collaboration system for your business, and we work with you to get it right.(P.O.A.)
