Gateway 10, a telecommunications business network, wanted to build a website to keep all its members informed and recruit new ones. However, it wanted to do more than just create a static website which would be time consmuming and expensive to keep up to date. It wanted to build a website around an online community that allowed non-members to discover Gateway 10 and existing members to communicate with each other and share information.
SocialGO was the perfect solution for Gateway 10 as it allowed them to quickly create an online community with all the regular social networking functions as the core of the website. Around this core they easily added custom pages for “about us”, “membership details”, “sponsoship opportunities” and “contact us”.
Ben, the owner of Gateway 10 has said “SocialGO gave us the best of both worlds, a fully functioning social network to keep all our members in touch and a normal website around it with all the information we need to provide prospective members. We also use the member billing system to charge members to join the network. The other great thing is that the members are constantly creating user generated content so the site is always up to date with the latest information and I don’t need to do anything.”
SocialGO is perfect for anyone that wants to create a website, but wants to do more by building a thriving community around it.
