Photo Factory makes websites for
all types of businesses, and in all price ranges.
A simple stand-alone website can be yours from $150.
But if your business or organisation needs promotion
in the Thames area, we have the best deal ever.
The Thamesonline website specialises in promoting everything that makes up our community.
We can promote your business or organisation within the Thamesonline website,
where everyone goes to find details of events, special deals and a lot more.
You can use your Thamesonline web page externally (as a normal website)
while we concentrate on sending visitors to you through the community website.
A stand alone website
is a lot like putting
your advertising in a paddock,
and hoping that someone drives by.
It involves hosting fees, and can cost
a lot of money to make any changes.
Advertising in the Thamesonline paddock means that we can promote you with
news items, promotional deals, and monthly
emails to all Thamesonline members.
$5 per week includes hosting.
Below, you can see a web page
built on the Thamesonline platform.
A page like this contains the business logo,
photos as required,
full details of the goods or services offered,
email contact form and references.
The cost of setting up a web page like Matthew's
is typically just $200,
with a weekly cost of $5.00
which includes hosting.
As the owner of this business, Matthew uses
business cards with a web address of .tol.nz
to direct people from all over the area he services to his web page, while we promote his service with
monthly emails to Thamesonline members
and with links from multiple pages on the website.,

resulting in the highest quality clean for you.
Our services include
Residential carpet cleans
Commercial carpet cleans
Stain treatment

Contrast Carpet Cleaning uses
brilliant products
and years of experience
to deliver a fantastic result
every clean.
"I recently enlisted the help of Matthew White of Contrast Carpet Cleaning and am delighted with the result.
The carpets had been laid about 20 years ago, and subjected to traffic by pets and grandkids but came up like new.
In addition I asked him to clean a well-upholstered lounge suite and it is now back in the same 'show room' condition as when purchased 25 years ago.
I can confidently recommend his efficient and thorough work."
- Len Abercrombie, Te Puru
"Matthew recently cleaned the upholstery on my lounge suite that hadn't been cleaned since it was purchased many years ago.
He did a wonderful job and exceeded my expectations.
The cleaning was done during Level 3 and Matthew wore a mask and gloves and maintained social distancing.
He was very professional, efficient and knowledgeable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services".
- Caral Othman
"Matthew arrived promptly and got straight to work.
He was very knowledgeable and managed to completely remove a difficult stain that we'd tried to shift several ways already.
The price was more than fair, our carpets look like new, we can't recommend this service highly enough"
- Jacqui Barrow
The advantages of Thamesonline over other advertising media
Everyone gets the choice of free or very low-cost advertising
Listings are free for individuals, businesses, sports clubs, social groups and services.
This means that everyone gets to tell the community about what they do and what they can offer – it’s not restricted to those with an advertising budget
Low cost advertising is available in the form of complete web pages for $5 per week including hosting.
Whichever advertising you choose, we will do our best to promote you to the Thames community.
it’s 24/7.
Unlike other forms of advertising (radio 30 seconds, newspaper a few days), Thamesonline is available to its audience 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
Information stays where we put it on the site so it can always be located – not like putting a notice on a community social media site, where it will quickly be replaced by pictures of cats and dogs. We use those sites too, but Thamesonline has one specific mission – to do the best possible job of representing everything in our community, and informing each and every member of this community about everything they need to know to get the best out of what we have here.
This means that someone looking for a special Thames bargain, a coffee, a sports club or help with their health can search for it at 4pm or 2am – it’s there for them at all times.
