Broadly based on a rapidly growing international trend, sandton-at-home is the first in a portfolio of free-access community websites planned for introduction in a selection of localities around South Africa by Communities-at-home cc.
The site is intended, in a variety of ways, to bring together all parts of the Sandton community, enabling communication between all those who are active and/or resident in Sandton.
Through sandton-at-home, residents will have access to instant information on any aspect of Sandton life (e.g. security, government, retail, commercial, religious, lifestyle activities, education, charities etc) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This free service will also be boosted by the issue of a regular e-mail newsletter to all community members and businesses within the Sandton area. This will optimise popularity of the website and strengthen opportunities for communication at all levels.
The initial sandton-at-home website has over 75 sections and literally hundreds of sub-sections covering virtually every sphere of interest. Frequent enhancement of content from various sources, including in particular the individual subscriber base, will ensure ongoing interest and support. Links to thousands of other websites will mean that members are supplied with a user friendly and informative portal to whatever information or service they require. It is envisaged that sandton-at-home will become the preferred home page for Sandton residents and businesses.
