Don't compromise, do it your way.

Communifire is the web-developer's dream platform. Developed by individuals intimately involved in the evolution of the ASP.NET platform, Communfiire uses leading edge technologies and methodologies to create a platform that is highly customizable and flexible -- so that you can get the most out of the platform..

Of course you can make simple cosmetic changes

Change header logo and color

There's a simple web form to upload your logo, favicon, and change the header color to match your look and feel -- no web coding required for branding.

Configure & localize language resources

Need to call something in the application something different for your purposes? "Connections" instead of "Friends" perhaps? Search for the terms, edit the settings and the application updates instantly. This also works for language localization as well.

Add custom profile fields

Your community or organization likely has unique characterstics that it would like to or needs to know about your members. Simply add these fields to the profile and then each member will have a single place to define themselves.

Simplify login for members

To complete the social media experience, allow your users to log in to your community with their credentials from popular social websites. Simply enter your Facebook Connect or Twitter API keys with secret passcodes or use Open ID to enable social login from other sites including gmail.

Migrate pages to keep search engine rankings

Use the URL mapping tool within Communifire to point your old pages to your new replacement pages with 301 redirects. You retain all your search engine investment and links to your old site will continue to bring in traffic.

Enable single sign on (SSO)

Integrate your own single sign on across your business applications to make life easier for your users. About 85% of our customers do it. With a few simple configuration line changes you can also use Windows Active Directory for Communifire.

But things get real interesting when you apply your own technical know-how to:

Customize elements with CSS

Use basic web tools to discover the name of any element (we make this easy by using easily accessed div tags; tables are used only when they absolutely make sense). Then input a CSS override for that element and anywhere it appears in Communifire will receive your custom treatment.

Manage custom HTML or Javascript

Enter any HTML, javascript or other custom code into the application once and then reference it anywhere you want to add dynamic content and custom system options. That way you only have to maintain one instance of the code.

Use our social apps for your own projects

Use the Communifire API to add social and community content to your own web projects. The way the application has been developed makes it easy to separate individual components and use them as "widgets" to enchance your own solutions.

Leverage Communfire user management

Don't reinvent user management for your own apps. Building around Communifire means you can tie into all its user management and control features. You can even upload existing member lists directly into the system.

In Communifire web developers will find:

Familiar technology

Communifire is developed using the ASP.NET Framework, C#, MS AJAX, jQuery and Microsoft SQL Server with generous notations. It's built with an n-tier application architecture making it possible to change or update one layer without recompiling or modifying other layers.

Visual Studio accessibility

Communifire self-hosted licenses come with the solution and project files, allowing you to open and customize it in Visual Studio. Communifire's custom controls can also be added to your VS Toolbox for easy drag-and-drop into your own custom pages.

Open API

Communifire's open and flexible architecture and API makes it easy to establish connections and links with other business applications. We can certainly help but most developers will find enough resources to manage most of this task on their own.

Event-driven model

Makes it easy to "hook" onto certain events and plug in your own custom code to run before and after events. You can also override the default Provider classes that come with Communifire with your own custom versions without needing to modify any core source code.

Webfarm ready

With distributed file systems tools to syncrhonize files aross servers you can choose between single instance file servers and multiple servers. If hosted on a load-balanced web farm there is nothing to prevent Communifire from accommodating millions of your users.

Caching flexibility

Communifire uses the .NET Cache object to cache frequently accessed data. The platform also comes with a Memcached plugin and a caching provider framework so you can plug in your own caching system without modifying the source.

Why Communifire?

You have a few choices in this space. Naturally, we think you should choose ours. Here's why.

Comprehensive & familiar

You get all the collaboration, community, and administrative features you will need -- fully integrated into one system. You can start using Communifire instantly -- or it can be tailored to fit your existing infrastructure. Host it on your own servers or run it in the cloud.

You're always in control

Administrative features let you manage users and moderate, approve, and publish any kind of content. Create as many types of users as you like. You control who sees what and what they can do.

Communifire is secure

We protect your data by backing it up daily, and storing it in multiple locations. Our servers and hardware operate at full redundancy and are protected by biometric locks and round-the-clock interior and exterior surveillance monitoring.

Guaranteed adoption

Communifire is simple and intuitive to use. From the moment you begin your trial, our customer support team is at your disposal. We also provide several options for professional education, from on-site training to online webinars.

You won't be sold until you try it and we discuss price

There's a lot to take in here. For most people the best way forward is to talk with us directly, tell us what you're trying to do and we'll tell (and show in a demo version of the platform) you how Communifire can do it. Then we can also talk about price, which may require some different terms than our basic plans including options for complete access to our source code. Contact us to get started.
