snCommunity Features?

The Sinus Node Private Limited specializes in interactive communities and takes great pride in assuring that snCommunity websites are equipped with the latest features.

Depending on your needs, you may be interested in anything from a basic setup to a full-complete solution with everything! This is our speciality and we can even provide custom-built modules for anything that you need.

snCommunity structure is as follows:

  • Basic Setup

Regardless of whether you choose to go with multiple photo uploading or the birthday centre (for example), this is the flat-rate charge to get the site up and running with a theme, colour scheme, and layout of your choice.


Your basic community will come equipped with:

  • Registration form
  • Who's online box (basic)
  • Message Board / Forum
  • Download Centre (files)
  • Basic chat room
  • Articles Centre / Database
  • 'My Account' features for members
  • Posting / Advertisement Board
  • Member Reviews


*Below, you'll find additions to the flat-rate set up.

  • Member Profile Creation

This feature allows members to create their own profiles with one photo included. They will be able to fill out questions (Determined by you), post a photo, and share their thoughts with other members. An example is provided at:

http://zone.hearandplay.com/pages/younus

Bonus features (included for free):

  • Profile Searching
  • Member Browsing by categories (that you determine)
  • Advanced member searching by certain criteria
  • Member Listed by Popularity (top X members, for example)
  • Multiple Photo Uploading and Display

This feature is an enhancement to the "Member Profile Creation." Instead of allowing just one photo per member, your users will be able to upload as many as 10 photos with descriptions. An example of how the 10 photos work is located at:

http://zone.hearandplay.com/pages/younus

The members will be given the opportunity to choose a "primary" photo which is shown in various areas of the site. If you'd like to see how the "photo management" screen looks for members, visit http://zone.hearandplay.com and log in as guest / password: guest. Simply go to "My photos," once logged in.

  • Advanced "Buddy List / Best Friend" Management

This feature allows members to add other members to their buddy list. In fact, members can designate top 10 buddies as best friend and choose the amount of buddies that appear on their profile pages. This is great for socialization and getting members acquainted with one another. With the "multiple photo uploading" option, this feature is very powerful as it brings the community to life!

  • Private Messaging

This feature allows each member to have their own inbox, outbox, and sentbox which manages their incoming messages, outgoing messages, and messages that have been successfully read by other members. It also notifies them of which messages have been "read," "replied to," and "unread."

With "multiple photo uploading," this module is very powerful and will increase the return rate of your visitors by tenfold. It encourages members to come back to your site as they communicate with each other.

Bonus: E-mail Alerts ($150 value): We will also throw in the "E-mail Alert Management" module which allows your members to choose whether or not to be notified when a new message, buddy request, or comment arrives.

  • Comments Module

This is one of the most powerful modules we offer (as evidenced by  http://zone.hearandplay.com/pages/younus). This module allows your members to leave comments on other members' profile pages as well as key areas of the site (in the games centre, articles, and other areas). With "multiple photo uploading," their photo is displayed next to their comment. Also, with "advanced buddy list management," there are [+] signs so that members can seamlessly add other members to their buddy list
based on the comments they leave.

Bonus: Multi-comment Sender ($300 value): We will also throw in an enhancement that will allow members to send MASS comments to all their buddies at once. For example, if one member has over 30 buddies, they can leave a "how are you" comment on all pages at once with this feature. It wasn't easy to build but we'll include it for free!

  • Game Centre

This is one of the funniest modules! Your members will be able to play classics like PacMan, Tetris, Ping Pong, and others! The best part about this feature is that members can compete against each other. With the "multiple photo" option, their photo will be listed in the rankings. An example is provided at: http://www.hearandplay.com/games.

(Notice how active members are). This game centre is a real big hit with our clients.

  • Birthday Centre

This is another fun module! Your members will be listed in a birthday box on the home page whenever their birthday is today, yesterday, tomorrow, or next week. This results in high socialization as members tend to wish other members "Happy Birthday!"

  • Who's Online / Online Status Control

This module is an enhancement to the basic "Who's online" right column on the home page. This is a box that is on the bottom of every page detailing who's online (and whether each member has a photo available). It also includes a link titled [Change online status] which allows members to control whether they appear online or offline. This is helpful for members who want to use your website without being private messaged or disturbed at the moment.

  • Buddy Mail Centre

This feature is awesome as it allows buddies to communicate with each other via "bulletin board style." For example, if one member has over 30 buddies, they can send a message to all 30 buddies in the "buddy mail centre" and each buddy will be notified and able to read the message. This is good for sharing concepts, quotes, poems, or just simple greetings. This is a major plus for socialization!

  • Point Tracking

This module will allow you to distribute points to your members based on activities they participate in on your site. For example, if they post a message in the forum, they can get X amount of points. These points are tabulated and members are ranked according to their points (first place, second place, third place, etc).

  • Quiz Module

This feature allows you to EASILY administer quizzes that your online members can take. The system will tell them whether their answers are correct / incorrect and score them based on their answers. What's cool is that the members are ranked in the "hall of fame" according to their scores. This is great for educational material! Bonus: With the "point tracking" system, your members can receive points for every right answer in the quiz. How cool!

  • Welcome Box

Comments, Private Messaging, and Buddy List Management is required in order to use the "Welcome Box."  Basically, this box welcomes your members by listing the date, the last time they logged in, and any new private messages, comments, buddy mail, or buddy requests they've received (very convenient). An example is given at http://zone.hearandplay.com/(log-in as guest / password: guest).

Note: messaging, comments, and buddy list management required.

  • Complete Blog/Journal System

This feature allows your members to host their very own journal/blog on your website. They can add, delete, and manage daily entries (or as often as they want to write it in). All blogs are listed in the member "blog directory" where they can be seen by other members (unless the writer chooses to make a blog note private, for example). This is a wonderful addition to the snCommunity as it promotes regular returns. Bonus: With the "Comments system," we'll integrate it for free so that members can leave comments regarding other members' blog notes.

  • My Groups

This feature allows members to host their own groups. A group can have group mail (shared with all group visitors), and group's forums. Group members can invite their buddies and can also share photos. This is a wonderful addition to the snCommunity as it promotes users own groups and they can start their own community inside the main community.

You can see groups live in action here

  • Icon creation (these are little 3d graphics for all your links):
  • Graphical Layout: Please call us to discuss.
