Understanding the basics of social media technology.

All social media is built from open source software which anyone can use for free.

The name of the platform we use is called Drupal, it is open and free software. It starts with what is called "Drupal Core", which comes with users, roles, and permissions out of the box.  We have 4 roles for our users, each with more permissions than the other.

The introductory role gives basic permissions to create items for sale, forms, blogs, and more. Many excellent tools for commerce and customer service needed today to sell products or services you may offer.
