“We are really pleased with the results that Epsilon Concepts has provided. The quality of work that they have created has been second to none. They have done a great job of taking what we have asked them to do and creating a solid custom social networking platform with a concrete foundation that we will be able to build upon in the future. Rob did a great job in forming a team that would suit our needs and specialize in the areas that we needed them to. We were also pleased with the use of Basecamp to aid in communicating with the programming team. Epsilon Concepts proved to be devoted to the project since day one and successfully helped us get our social networking project off the ground.“ -GolfingMyWay.com Management Team

Custom vs. Turnkey
Turnkey is best for prototype social networks, auxiliary social networks, and social networks “on a budget” while custom is best for enterprise social networks, revenue-generating social networks, social networks with long-term plans, and social networks blending social functionality with other functionalities such as e-commerce, directories, etc...
Our custom social networking solutions are built with a marketing-infused approach and demographic-based design and development to give you a scalable, extensible solution that you have complete control over from the get-go.
In a nutshell, a custom social network may offer these advantages:
- Strategic Design
Design with a purpose, not around pre-determined layouts/functionality. - Better Usability
With screens and functions designed specifically for your target audience and your desired value propositions, your website can be far more usable. - Differentiation
It’s not nearly as effective to simply apply the social network feature set to a vertical market or niche in the same way everyone else has and expect results. Our approach will naturally create differentiation, so you’re network is not simply “more of the same” in the realm of web 2.0. - Ownership
You own it, you can host it where you want, and you can maintain/improve/sell the code as you see fit. AKA, your money isn’t spent, it’s invested.
