Welcome to our shiny new website. Take your shoes off, we'll put the kettle on, make yourself at home, and read on to find out what is new.

Don't worry though, everything is still here... we have just moved the furniture around a bit, knocked out a few walls, and added some brand new wallpaper.

These things take a little bit of getting used to, but we are pretty confident that once you have gotten used to the new look site you will love it just as much as we do. This re-design and re-development has been part of our on going evolution. 2008 has been an amazing year for us, launching New Zealand's first unbundled broadband and phone service, taking out the TUANZ Telecommunications Carrier of the Year Award, and just last week being named NZ's Fastest ISP by the NZ Herald. We have also been undergoing a bit of a makeover, which you might have noticed. The website was one of the few remaining things left to change, and we think it was worth waiting for.

We think the biggest improvements are:

• A site-wide search box in the top right corner that works really well
• You can now log in to 'My Orcon' from anywhere on the site just by rolling over the My Orcon tab up on the top right
• We have launched this brand new Digital Life section. We are going to be bringing you loads of great content straight from the many talented Orcon staff. Look out for great tips, tricks, websites, trends, software, hardware, and gaming advice.
• Our re-developed support section includes a comprehensive knowledge base (which we will be adding to over time), as well as a glossary, and all the other stuff that you need (like the network status page)
• We have introduced plan tables around the site so that it is super simple to compare the different broadband and phone plans to figure out which is best for you
• If you are already an Orcon customer and you are viewing the site from home the site will figure it out and display your broadband usage via the 'Orconite' tab on our-all new homepage
• Our re-developed careers section lets you see all the jobs available here at Orcon, as well as giving you a bit of an insight into what it is like here at Orcon HQ
• You can leave us comments on our articles, both here in Digital Life, and on our tutorials and support articles in the Support section
• It is easier than ever to get in touch with us... You can see our phone number displayed prominently at the top of every page, as well as shortcuts to send us email all over the site

So take a look around and see what you think. There are lots of opportunities for you to leave comments, and we would love to hear from you.
