Association Website Software

Wild Apricot is marketing itself for a specific space, namely associations and non-profits - the organizations that are “understaffed and overworked”. What allows them to do so is that their product focuses on things like Events and Members, the two quintessential features needed by those in this space. In addition to managing members, organizations will eventually be able to do membership e-mailing through Wild Apricot.According to Wild Apricot’s summise, NP’s can use Google Earth Free, but it is not to It’s software enables anyone to create their own social network based around any idea of vocabulary as part of its mission in its FAQ section of its website

One feature I did see missing was the ability to accept payments for Events. That’ll be necessary if they want this tool to be taken seriously. That feature appears set to launch in September.You shouldn't be wasting your time copying and pasting information from Excel to your website or registration database. Nor should your workload include sending email reminders manually. Wild Apricot brings all these components in one place. It can do all of this for you - and more - like a trusted butler. Your website, registration system and your membership database become one and the same. Finally, you can eliminate data entry madness and be home at a decent hour.Did you know that most visitors leave a website within 10 seconds of landing on the home page? And they may never return to the same site.Computer software should not encourage premature balding - overstressing you with its unfriendly interface. Here's the dirty secret of the IT industry: too many engineers assume that everyone should be a computer expert. Well, there are fields you specialize in where an IT specialist would be out of his depth - a car mechanic, for example, would not recommend a web developer to fix his own brakes Association Website Software What's worse is going though all the trouble of creating a professional association web site that nobody comes to visit.Wild Apricot's Association Website Software focuses on making it easier to manage your association with its web-based software that replaces up to 7 pieces of software in one.

Re accepting payments for events - we do have this and have had for a while (since late 2006), I suspect you might have looked at an old webpage somewhere. I would appreciate if you could add a note to the post.
