UNA

UNA is a community management system for people who want to create a social networking site. Its makers have built tools for webmasters since 2000 and designed UNA to avoid the technical hurdles and limits of earlier options.

What UNA offers

• Social networking — the core features for running a community and sharing content.
• App-based design — each component is an app that can be installed, removed, activated or paused.
• Automatic updates — apps update themselves and new features arrive regularly.
• Mobile engagement — support for members who use the site from phones.
• Customisation — the owner controls the site, the data and the software.

Who it works with

Idea-driven founders and webmasters, from a small group site up to a very large network.
