SocialEngine gives you a simple, unbranded network that you can customize in any way. You’ll have the freedom to maintain fine-grained control over all aspects of your site and content.
SocialEngine helps you build a community that's unique to you, with absolutely no "powered by" links or "SocialEngine" branding presented to your members.
Your community's content is yours to own. Unlike most hosted services, SocialEngine never prevents you from moving your community or serving your own advertisements.
You'll have the complete PHP source code to play with, making it possible to add or integrate your custom features.

Use SocialEngine's built-in, visual drag-and-drop CMS to arrange content, customize widgets, create whole new pages, and place advertisements. Import new widgets or develop your own with our guides.
Create multiple levels of membership in your community to give some members access to special content or extra privileges. You can also assign moderators to help you maintain your community and remove unwanted content for you.

You guys have a great product. I tried many other products and SE4 is by far the best. Your group should be very proud of your work; and your customer service surpasses others as well.
~ Tomm (www.flinkey.com)

I just wanted to thank you guys for producing one of the best products I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I have purchased many pre-packaged solutions, but never one as well thought out and supported as SocialEngine.
~ Ron

I'd like to congratulate you on such an awesome product. I've looked around for all options like Dolphin and phpfox and you surpass them all (also backed with your awesome plugins developers).
~ Hussein

Your company is top notch, always there to help and respond to even the simplest of questions from clients and potential clients. I can't thank you guys enough.
~ Anna (www.wingmenandwomen.com)

Thanks for making such a great product. SocialEngine has come to mean a lot more to me than social networking software. SocialEngine is an opportunity.
~ Karlos (http://flagstamp.com/)

Just wanted to say thanks for such an outstanding product. We just re-launched our website (www.mitosis.com) yesterday using socialengine and a custom widget we're internally calling "Likked-it" (as a play on reddit). Looking forward to all the improvements you guys have been showing peeks of.
~ Simon (http://www.mitosis.com)

SocialEngine is the platform that allows anyone with a little or a lot of technical experience to have a social network at a low cost.

Check out what we did with SocialEngine 4. We integrated a "deal" component, among a TON of other cool stuff (custom album/video tweaks, notifications, search functionality, etc.). A killer design brings it all together! It's called Pawsley and we were recently featured in TechCrunch and TIME.com. Overall, SE has been AWESOME. Fantastic job and huge thanks!!!
~ Mike Pacifico (www.pawsley.com)

I appreciate it and look forward to building the worlds first garage sale network with your awesome software. I tried 7 other "social Programs" and chose you, I mean socialgo, dolphin, etc... good work, keep it up.

So far, I have been able to get my site up and running in 12 months with a small budget. If I had started from scratch I don't know how long it would have taken or how much it would have cost.
~ Tim

Thank you for your answer. I am starting to understand more about how the system works. Shortly said; all the positive reviews you have got has a good reason. We are impressed and just purchased 2 more licenses for some other sites.
~ Tore Hoff (http://24latino.com)

SocialEngine has enabled us to bring our business to life. We highly recommend SocialEngine to anyone who wants to start their own online community.
~ Max Ryerson

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.
~ Brent MacKinno

If anyone out there is tired of "the same old thing" in social networking like I was then snap out of it! Go to socialengine.net! It's clean, it's fresh, it's fun, and it's all about YOU! Don't be a social putt-putt be a SOCIAL ENGINE! This platform ROCKS! Thanks SE!
~ Paulie (http://www.pauliewood.com)

Your company is top notch, and Social Engine is the best social networking script available. I can't thank you guys enough for this great script. I tried numerous other scripts and IMO they are decades behind Social Engine. I recommend this to script to anyone who is serious in starting a successful Social Networking site.
