Alumni Associations
Currently, populations are more mobile than in prior generations meaning alumni can be spread far and wide. Our intelligent websites for Alumni Associations are designed to help geographically spread individuals retain the sense of belonging to a Club.
Net72 has developed a Member Management module that allows alumni to create a profile and share their contact details with other alumni. They are able to sign up to various sports and other interest groups within the club and receive information about events so they can take part if they wish.
Public Pages
For alumni associations most of the information is not sensitive, the majority of your website can be public. You are able to inform visitor of the nature of the club, how to join, and display other pieces of information such as recent news and upcoming events.
With most associations, there are a number of clubs such as sporting or special interest. Each of these clubs can have its own area acting, in effect, like a micro site with its own news and archive sections, photo galleries and diary.
The public pages act as an online noticeboard, so members can be kept up-to-date with club life. One of the more popular features on our alumni sites is the use of audio, video and picture galleries. These rich media entertain and really bring a website to life!

Members' Area
The Members' area of your website fulfils a different function; its main purpose is to improve communications with the club membership. Our modular system allows you to build-up functionality.
When a member logs in to the secure members’ area, they can edit their profile with up-to-date contact details. They can also view other members contact details. Once logged in, there is also the opportunity to sign to and pay for club or society events.
Online Shop
This is your opportunity to sell club merchandise online, to a global audience. E-commerce has become a very easy way of expanding business. As long as customers have a trouble free experience, it is the most efficient and convenient form of shopping.
Most alumni associations operate from a school shop or outfitters, and so with geographically spread alumni, it is unlikely that an old boy or girl would return to the school shop just to buy some cuff links or a tie. Making these purchases online is far more convenient.
