Custom Domain Don’t want a group with the .grou.ps extension, but need an online home with a professional look that is completely under your control, or need to ensure an increased sense of ownership for your membership? Go with a custom domain and get your .com, .net, or .org address associated with your group site. Remember, you can purchase a new domain name from GROU.PS for only $10/year and let us handle the backend work, or use a domain you’ve bought from a 3rd party registrar and follow a few easy steps to use your new group at the URL of your choice. |
|

|
|
|
Custom Templates Our set of 70 templates is more than enough for most, but if you need further fine-tuning and a full white label look, opt for a custom template. We allow you to change not just colors, fonts, and backgrounds, but also give you access to the full HTML layout and CSS for your group. |

Moderation Is your group getting crowded with people you don’t even know, or do you just need enhanced controls over what your members are posting? Easy -- we have fine-grained moderation options that allow you to restrict some or all of your modules from posting without prior approval from you (or those you’ve assigned to the task). The rest is simple: When someone posts content, you and your admins are notified via email, and you have the option to review the content and approve or reject it. This option is great for large groups that need to maintain a standard of quality. |

Language Editor Edit any text on your network, including error messages and emails. |

Custom Views You need even more customization. You don’t like the way our Calendar app works: you don’t want to list the events in its homepage, but you’d rather have member avatars come first. With GROU.PS, you’re free to arrange all the segments of your site as you please. |
|
|
|
||
Roles As your group membership soars, you’ll need people helping you out in the administration of some areas of your site. You might hire a designer and want to arrange it so that s/he can update your template, but can’t fiddle with content moderation; or you might have a bunch of friends who could help you with blog post moderation, or wiki moderation. Roles functionality allows you to do all this, fine-tuned to your specific needs. |

API access Have even more needs? Are you an agency that conducts professional work for your clients? Get API access to extend our capabilities with things we couldn’t even imagine. API access is like “database access” - where you can reach all your group’s information in a well-formatted manner so that you can programatically manipulate it and create your own widgets, cronjobs or apps. |
|
|
|||
Mobile App Enable your members to stay connected on-the-go, too! Available for Blackberry, iPhone and Android devices, the mobile app feature lets you create your very own mobile application. The apps that are created do not belong to GROU.PS* -- they’re yours, they’re white label, and feature your logo on the phone. *Due to technical limitations imposed by Apple, iPhone apps aren’t white label. Your group is still accessible and fully functional - but features the GROU.PS logo. We’re in communication with Apple to work out a resolution for this issue. |
