The Club That Started It All – How TGNZ Connect Was Built Around Tripe n Onions
The North Harbour Tripe n Onions Club played a pivotal role in the development of TGNZ Connect, becoming the first community group to be hosted on the platform. Their need for a reliable, fully managed web presence helped shape the service into what it is today.
The Challenge
As an established club with a strong community presence, the North Harbour Tripe n Onions Club required an online platform to:
- Promote the club to potential new members
- Provide a central hub for event photos and updates
- Support ongoing marketing efforts
- Keep current members engaged
Without an in-house IT team or the budget for commercial hosting, they needed a fully managed, hassle-free solution that would allow them to maintain a professional presence online without technical overhead.
The TGNZ Connect Solution
As the first website hosted on TGNZ Connect, tripeclub.nz set the foundation for a scalable, community-focused hosting service. The website was designed to:
- Simplify communication with existing and prospective members
- Provide an accessible and organized space for event photos and club updates
- Seamlessly integrate with other marketing initiatives to enhance visibility
The Results
Since launching tripeclub.nz, the club has:
- Attracted new members through an improved online presence
- Strengthened engagement with both existing and potential members
- Created a central platform for event documentation and club updates
- Served as a model for other organizations considering community-focused hosting solutions
