The Basics of Social Media

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

This is important to you because these are the best tools there are, and you can use them for free in your business, and personal life. Plus we teach for free.  

It starts with a basic installation, which comes with users, roles, and permissions out of the box.  At Civilsocialmedia we  have 4 roles for different users, each with more permissions than the next.

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.

As you use the site, you may require more abilities. We can give you access to more tools, and more control over the website.

Civil social media, is open source like Wikipedia, we are free and user administered.     

A website is not just a showcase for your business, it is the advanced server platform you use for all business activity. Civil Social Media will permit you to learn this technology by using the various tools on our site.

Drupal is constantly evolving and improving. It is the most complicated of all the website options available, but it is also the most secure and powerful.

Drupal is vast, but as with anything else we learn, it is only complicated at first, once you learn it, it becomes commonplace.
