Civicspace is Reborn
By Noel Hidalgo, 01/30/2007 - 12:12pm

This weekend, Civicspace on Demand (CSoD) launched. For $50 bucks a month you get a "complete, integrated solution for your community website, online donations, blast email, and supporter database needs." If you thought Drupal and CiviCRM were too complicated, think again. CSoD has spent the past two years, rethinking the layout and workflow. Instead of harvesting the open-source community, they have spent a considerable about of time providing feedback and improvements to the community.

For the next 30-days, you get a complete community solution featuring the following bells and whistles! Grab the PDF.
