Member Database Software Functionality Available for Existing Websites Using Wild Apricot Web Widgets

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) September 4, 2007 -- Wild Apricot, a fully integrated, turn-key member database software (http://www.wildapricot.com/membership-management.aspx?utm_medium=PRWEB&utm_term=member_database_software) provider announced the launch of Wild Apricot Widgets, a web plug-in that gives clients the ability to easily and seamlessly integrate Wild Apricot's member database functions within an existing website.

Designed to help associations, clubs, churches and non-profit organizations easily and affordably manage their membership database needs over the web, Wild Apricot provides a full content management solution that includes such integrated features as membership management (http://www.wildapricot.com/membership-management.aspx?utm_medium=PRWEB&utm_term=membership_management) and event registration tools, online donation forms, email blasts and more.

Developed by BonaSource Inc. as an integrated set of web tools, Wild Apricot gives time-starved association, non-profit managers and volunteers a one-stop resource to easily build a hosted website that can be used to handle many of their membership management needs, and even offer online event registration (http://www.wildapricot.com/event-registration.aspx?utm_medium=PRWEB&utm_term=online_event_registration), charitable donation and payment services.

Offered as either an all-in-one solution or as a secondary, specific-purpose website for member database functionality, Wild Apricot can now be seamlessly integrated with clients' existing websites through the use of web Widgets.

In simple terms, a web widget is a portable chunk of content or interactive functionality that can be installed and run within any HTML-based web page, without having to install any software on the client's web server.

Wild Apricot's self serve membership management allows members to join your organization, pay dues, donate, update contact details and register for events online at any time -- they will even receive automatic renewal notices to free up your scarce time.

The secure member directory can also be displayed on your website (password protection available) -- its sophisticated search feature allows people to quickly locate members they are interested in.

"In such a setup," explained Dmitry Buterin, Chief Apricot and co-founder of BonaSource, "Wild Apricot becomes an invisible provider of interactive member database functionality for the client's website, without the website's visitors ever having to leave for another website."

Clients can tweak their embedded Wild Apricot widget to use colors and styles to match their existing website. Other member database features that can be executed with the widgets include searchable membership directories, secure member profiles, interactive event lists, event registration and online donation forms.

Learn how you can achieve membership database functionality (http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Widgets+-+integrating+Wild+Apricot+into+another+website?utm_medium=PRWEB&utm_term=membership_database_funcionality) on your website by seamlessly integrating Wild Apricot Widgets on their website.
