An investor based in Los Angeles, CA contracted the Branning Group to build a social network geared towards the artistic community from the ground up. The web site had to look sharp, function smoothly and handle a sudden boom in visitors. Bluecanvas.com launched September 18, 2008 and is already in talks with advertisers who want to tap into the community and invest in the potential. Bluecanvas.com was launched on the Branning Group Social Networking Platform.
The Branning Group social networking platform comes with the following feature set out of the box: user management (with full statistics and reports); peer relationships through the network (users can become “friends” with each other); complete content management system; image upload with folder system; activity feed; blog system for members; classifieds system; events broadcasting; internal messaging; powerful search engine that can retrieve content from all areas on the site; and a message wall that allows users to leave notes on their friends’ profile pages. Development is underway for more features to bolster the community aspects and encourage more user-generated content.
