Social Networking Development
We have worked long and hard to develop a powerful social networking framework designed to drive the next generation of social web applications. Because we have a robust pre-existing framework in place, we’re able to spend our time tailoring everything to fit your needs, developing the custom modules required to set yourself apart in a highly competitive market. Working from our framework creates shorter development cycles, allowing you to get your product or new features launched as quickly as possible, while not limiting your creative options
Let's move on to some questions we're frequently asked:
-
What can you build?
Specializing in developing custom social networks, we've dedicated years towards building a robust, modular and extensive framework for your social network or socially-driven website. It's a PHP-driven social networking platform built using the mySQL database (open source technologies). This is the language and database used to power sites like Yahoo!, Wikipedia and Facebook and is the most popular web development language and database, widely supported by developers and vendors.
We provide different types of services depending on your needs. We work you from concept to launch as well as consulting on strategy, business planning, monetization, raising capital and marketing. We can handle any size project. -

What is the typical timeline to build a social network?
For a custom social network, the build-out timeline usually ranges from anywhere between four and eight months, depending on the scope of the project. This is based on allocating the appropriate amount of time towards each phase of the project in order to build the best end-result possible and manage your expectations every step of the way. If you are customizing a third party solution, it will probably take less time.

How much will it cost to build?
In your search for the right agency to build your social network, the first two questions you'll need to ask yourself is "custom" or "turnkey"? Turnkey solutions usually require much less money upfront, but are leased, externally hosted and/or require monthly fees. You typically don't own the source code, lose flexibility and are limited in your ability to build a unique website in the marketplace. If you go the custom route, you will be quoted anywhere from a few thousands dollars in India to millions of dollars by some agencies, it really depends on your project scope.
