The company provides direct training for up to 3 people, so your society won't get stuck when the one person who knows how to maintain the website is no longer available to handle it.
With several "prefab" database modules, shopping cart (with PayPal integration), discussion forums, and built-in members only section, your website can be up and running in no time.
