NPE Platform Features
Floating in the Cloud
NPEngine websites run on the infinitely scalable Google App Engine Cloud. This means your web presence automatically grows along with your organization, never slows down and never breaks. Oh, it also saves you a ton of money.
Socially Integrated
Each site comes standard with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Picasa integration. We make it easy for your organization to share it's content, build a community around your non-profit mission and go viral.
Fully Automated
Easily automate tasks such as sending "thank you" emails to donors and volunteers, accept and log donations, synch with spreadsheets and much more. Just set it and forget it, no Admin or "tech person" required.
Viral by Nature
The NPEngine Platform makes it easy to spread your content through RSS feeds, social integration, volunteer & donor profiles and more. Going "viral" can help you spread awareness and raise funds for your cause.
Shoestring Budgets
We think non-profits should use their resources to advance their mission, not on enriching third-party corporations. So we offer industry beating setup fees, and leverage free/cheap services (like App Engine) whenever possible.
Jacks of all Trades
Our engineers are capable of building in any extra features you might dream up. Need a Facebook App or custom integration with your in-house database? We can build it for you. Or use our API to build it yourself.
Easy to Update
Conveniently update your site's content using the services you already know and love. Post a project report via email, add documents, images & charts through Google Docs, videos through YouTube, pictures through Picasa and more.
Works as hard as You
The NPE Platform continues to evolve and keep pace with the constantly changing internet. Your website will be automatically refurbished with new technologies & optimizations as often as they are implemented.
Search Engine Love
Every platform app is Search Engine Optimized (SEO) through human readable URLs, dynamically generated MetaData and more. This makes it easy for new users to discover and share your cause across the web.
Reliable Support
We offer free support through our client community and reasonably priced premium support via phone & email. Our US Based NPEngineers can answer questions & make relevant suggestions when needed.
