What is SocialEngine?
SocialEngine is a PHP-based social network platform that lets you create a
social network on your website. Right out of the box, your social network will offer
nearly all of the features found on today's wildly popular social networks.
Instead of hosting your social network on our servers, we give you complete control
over your project by allowing you to download the source code and install it on your
own server.
Why a platform?
We don't want you to create "turnkey" cookie-cutter social networks. We want your
new social network to offer something unique. We call SocialEngine a "platform"
because it instantly gives you a simple, unbranded network. This lets you get right to
deploying your unique theme, social structure, or concept using our source code as a
foundation.
What makes SocialEngine different?
SocialEngine is the only self-hosted social network platform that can truly give
you the opportunity for explosive, viral growth. Other social network apps create
social networks that look and work the same. SocialEngine's simple design
lets you highlight your unique theme. We've gone to great lengths to make customizations
easier, with detailed comments placed throughout the completely unencrypted source code.
SocialEngine also includes advanced social features not found in other apps, like subnetworks,
multiple possible friendship structures, and very comprehensive privacy settings.
Only buy the features you want.
Other social network apps overwhelm your users with superfluous features.
History shows that the simpler, user-friendlier social networks are more
likely to succeed. SocialEngine allows you to buy features "à la carte."
This means that if your unique idea includes specific features like blogs
or photo albums, you can build them yourself or buy them from us for a small
fee.

"SocialEngine has enabled us to bring our business to life. Having traveled the web
to find a technology provider for our new online club we found that SocialEngine was
the simple, most effective and most adaptable application to create the social network
part of our club. We highly recommend SocialEngine to anyone who wants to start their
own online community."

"This is simply the best social networking software money can
buy - hands down. It worked great right 'out of the box', providing
me and my client everything we needed to get up and running fast. The Smarty template
system combined with well organized CSS allows for easy customization, and the assortment
of add-on features is excellent. Installation was very user friendly, and I found your customer support
to be very helpful, providing help even over the
weekend! I would certainly recommend your social networking software to anyone seriously
interested in starting an online social networking site. Thanks again for a great product!"
- Timothy Vandenberg
"Just a note of thanks for such a wonderful platform. It has been a pleasure to work with your
product. I wish all software developers approached their products like you do. And on top of
that your support has been exceptional."
