SocialGO.com, the platform that allows anyone to create a social network site in less than 2 minutes, has launched its new ‘Layout Manager’. This powerful new feature combines infinite customization possibilities with drag and drop simplicity. It also eliminates the need for any special programming skills, allowing virtually anyone to build an advanced and unique social network with no prior experience.

SocialGO founder Alex Halliday said, “Social Networking has become a part of most people’s daily lives. This has created an ever-increasing interest in hosted solutions by groups who wish to operate their own dedicated network, rather than being part of one of the larger general networks.

Since every niche wants a unique look and feel, features and rules, our Layout Manager allows for infinite customization, without the need to hire an expensive developer or designer. This is a tremendous advantage over other hosted solutions, most of which simply provide a ‘one look fits all’ template, rather than delivering power and control into the hands of the network creator.”

The Layout Manager (see below) using simple “point & click” allows you to break every page in your site down into nine distinct “Zones” that can be moved, deleted, modified or added to.  Each Zone can be broken down into one column, two column or three column and you can vary the width of each column.

Each Zone can be broken down into one column, two column or three column and you can vary the width of each column.

Within each Zone, you can drag and drop various modules, including HTML, CSS, Javascript, I-Frame, Feature Elements, and 3rd Party Widgets.

Layout Manager allows you to create an unlimited number of additional custom pages within your SocialGO network site, plus unlimited sub-pages. Each of these pages can be set to varying degrees of visibility between the public, logged-in members, paid subscribers, or moderators.  And finally every page and sub-page can be renamed and re-ordered as you wish.

SocialGO networks are available in various levels with FREE, Starter ($4.99 per month), Premium ($24.99 per month), and Concierge ($149.99 per month) plans to choose from. SocialGO offers options of White Labeling, Member Billing, and Extra Bandwidth/Storage Blocks.
