Volunteer database management
Once I dove in, I could not believe how easy it was to use. Social media integration was flawless. Custom page templates were as easy as WordPress theming, easier even than Drupal theming. Adding members-only custom content is a breeze. … After using NationBuilder for a week, I could not understand why anyone would still use Convio. After another two projects, I can’t believe people are not abandoning Convio like a burning warehouse and sprinting to NationBuilder.
