We will provide space for any MTA local or chapter to host a Web site on our server. We can also assist you with the initial development of your site, including graphics and web design. Workshops in communications strategy and site development are held in the MTA regional offices and at the Summer Conference at Williams.

There is no cost to MTA locals for any of these services and no monthly hosting fees.

A good way to get a feel for what you could do with a site is to visit some of the existing local sites:

http://www.massteacher.org/inside/affiliates/affiliates_web_affiliates.cfm

You will notice many sites named along the lines of newbedford.massteacher.org or dracut.massteacher.org. These are sites on the MTA server. We will set up a "subdomain" address for you. There is no need to register and pay for your own web domain.

Some of the features that are available:

A public area
A members-only area (log in required)
President's Blog
Forms
Polls
Files for download
Web tools (contact your legislator, etc.)
Multimedia (audio/video)
Surveys
