Facebook and MySpace are 2 examples of community websites.  There are literally thousands of community websites on the web. 

What are Community Websites? 

Community Websites are sites that allow people to become members for free or for a fee.  They are either assigned a login ID and password or create one themselves.  Once a member they usually have privileges that only members have, Facebook allows you to view members profiles if you are signed in and send them an email requesting to 'become friends'. 

Other examples of community sites are:

• Business Professionals with similar business backgrounds
• People with the same Hobby
• Medical Professionals sharing medical news
• Motorcycle Club
• Networking Groups
• Sports groups
• Political groups

One community website that was built by Wanna Web Design is Women Into Networking (WIN).  Their members pay an annual fee to join, and receive discounts to different services provided by Women Into Networking.  There are events members are invited to attend, members can list their events on a calendar that non-members can view.  Each member also has a profile that can include links to their websites and email addresses as well as give personal information such as address and phone number if the member wishes to list it.

A site similar to WIN can be designed for you by Wanna Web Design.
