Municiportal is based in Chicago and specializes in creating dynamic online communities for political organizations, towns and small businesses.
Municiportal uses open source software like the Drupal content management system to create cost effective social networking sites. Content management systems have built in modules to handle security, user management and search so website users can focus on content creation. Users can easily join the website and can be given as much or as little control over the site to update events, news, blogs and video content all online using the editing tools provided by the content management system.
Events, photos, news, blogs, video and more can easily be added using a point and click user interface. Text can be edited using a full featured editor which includes image addition, link insertion, bold, italics and other formating tools. This makes updating your website as easy as surfing the web or editing in your favorite word processing program.
With the help of Municiportal's web based tools organizations of all sizes can harness the full power of the internet to spread the word, plan events and organize volunteers.
