The platform
The platform, although limited in look and feel options, offers a very cost effective solution for small music groups on a tight budget. Membership functionality is extremely helpful and the flexible configuration of site functionality and permissions is great, but could benefit from further expansion into more generous look and feel tailoring. I would thoroughly recommend the platform for small amateur groups with limited funds and technical skills.
