Do you want to create another social network? Do you have an excellent and original idea and plan to launch a new application.

Professional design and development of an application for social networks is an extraordinary task. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as quick and easy, especially in this category, since creating an application with interactive functions is a significant set of problems.

First of all, if you are serious about success, you need to prepare an excellent idea and marketing strategy that will help promote the application after creation. Applications on mobile phones have transformed mobile technologies. Our daily lives depend on mobile phones and applications. The truth is that mobile applications have become an integral part of our society and human life. So when you want to develop a social media application, a unique idea is the main issue.

Social networks are powerful online communication channels. They are platforms for interaction with people, collaboration, and content sharing. From a business point of view, the niche of social networks is one of the most promising markets. The dominant players hold a stranglehold on this segment. Nevertheless, new technological advances give young tigers the chance to overtake giant dinosaurs more often.

The Internet is full of offers from web studios offering the creation of social networks, and you can get a little confused in choosing the right developer. First, you need to look at the platform and technologies used. Conventional web studios provide a wide range of services, so they use mass solutions to launch the project quickly. Such web studios often use popular CMS WordPress and Joomla, originally designed to create regular websites. They are perfectly documented, have broad support for the open-source community, and have accumulated a vast library of extensions over the past decades. The problem is that they were not initially for specific use as a social network platform. Therefore, they imitate the interface very beautifully but cannot serve the needs of the social network.

Another creation service provides the ability to build a social network on the SaaS platform. There is little work for the web studio, as the interface of such Drag & Drop services has too few opportunities to customize the project, and there is no functional diversity at all. Therefore, offers to "create a real social network in three days" are more common among novices on freelance service marketplaces. However, you shouldn't seriously rely on such methods. It is unlikely that you will lose a lot of money, but you will not achieve your goals.

It is not easy to find a worthwhile offer among such a palette of services. Custom development is the rarest service because it usually needs to achieve goals within an existing business. Another scenario is proactive custom development when an entrepreneur independently creates a project based on his own experience and knowledge. Of course, custom development is not a secret knowledge but the result of many years of experience. Owners of such experience are in no hurry to create competitors and do not offer social networking tools on the market. But there are exceptions in everything.

Our team uses the most modern tools to build social networks apps, dating apps, marketplaces, and social communities with intuitive features. The QSNE platform has all these tools:

Excellent technologies will allow you to create a perfect social network, but why do you need it if there are many world-famous platforms? We note right away that a social network is a business, and there are always risks in managing it. But the risks also create opportunities for creating a high-yield business. Here are just some of the advantages of owning your social network built on the QSNE platform:

- competitive advantage in the selected specialized business niche, the ability to accurately take into account the needs of the audience and offer the best product;

- control over the application, management of updates and functionality, quick implementation of unique functions as technology improves;

- flexible management of the hardware platform, performance, infrastructure scale;

- management of user rights policies;

- control over content - establishment of acceptable types, flexible moderation of content;

- availability of application usage statistics - reporting and analytics, trend research;

- complete control over advertising policy and establishment of monetization rules;

- the possibility of attracting venture and investment capital with the successful implementation of the idea;

There is a misconception that social networks are only needed to access entertainment content. Technically, a social network is a website with any content to provide horizontal users interaction. Сonversely, the vertical model for interacting with centrally created content is overwhelmingly untenable, as it cannot quickly adapt to the needs of large groups of users. This inability is the reason for the growing interest in creating niche social networks, which do not claim to be the winner of Facebook but are needed to solve practical tasks.

Despite the wide variety of people's activities, you can conditionally allocate several types of social networks by type of content processed, audience, and investment attractiveness:

- Universal networks are at the top, and unfortunately, due to the privacy of the stored personal data, they are out of reach. Cast aside your illusions, today there are no investors ready to challenge Facebook. And it's not about technology or a unique user interface. The company's primary asset is a vast user audience and advertisers' trust. The current giants, Meta and Alphabet, will vigorously protect the data of billions of users accumulated in the walled gardens. After all, their main business is selling targeted advertising that works only on their big data;

- Entertainment websites bring users together around specific hobbies such as video games and pets. People like these communities because it's a great way to find like-minded people with similar interests. In addition, such social networks are excellent for monetization since you do not need to collect a lot of information about them to display relevant ads;

- Educational networks have become especially popular during the COVID-19 pandemic, as they allow people to continue improving their skills or getting a new profession. The Udemy Portal is an excellent example of online collaboration and access to educational content;

- Enterprise resources, unlike other types, can operate in a closed Intranet environment or a semi-closed Extranet environment, depending on the purpose. For example, a corporate social networking site can simultaneously provide online sales and connect employees;

- Professional platforms such as LinkedIn target professionals and companies across industries and offer to communicate about careers, interviews, and seek or offer jobs;

- Academic networks help scientists to exchange the results of scientific works. Traditionally, it is customary to make science openly; otherwise, the process of cognition slows down. Therefore, monetizing such resources is weak, and ResearchGate confirms it;

- Dating websites aim to help people find a partner. Loneliness is not a new problem in modern society, and dating sites successfully solve it. Such popular premium subscription services for a small fee allow owners of such networks to look to the future with great optimism;

- Information portals like Quora or Reddit help people find the best answers to their questions on various topics. Therefore, it is a great way to search for more relevant information on these social networks without using the Google search engine;

- Media sharing platforms provide users with the ability to share multimedia content such as videos or images. Recognized leaders - Instagram, Flickr, YouTube, TikTok - are well prepared for a breakthrough in high-speed data transfer technologies. Now they can offer excellent services even on mobile devices in 4G and 5G communication networks;

- Remote online video consultation platforms allow you to provide telemedicine services for areas where medical care is poor or completely absent. However, the modern requirements of regulators to respect the rights of users in the digital world are becoming increasingly stringent. For this reason, public social media platforms cannot provide telemedicine services;

When X Networks takes a project, it guarantees the client to achieve business goals. However, it also means that the company comprehensively evaluates the customer's idea even before the conclusion of the contract. Firstly, the company avoids reputational and legal losses, so regardless of the cost of work abandons projects that go beyond legislative and moral norms. Secondly, the customer is often interested in the joint development of the project, which also requires a risk assessment.

How does the process of developing a social network application take place? Many companies split the development process into phases and calculate each stage's cost based on an hourly payment. Such detail can make a good impression but carries some risks. In reality, no one knows precisely how many hours the company spends on development in advance. Therefore, the customer can pay for unused hours or accept the requirement to pay for additional hours for some improvements. As a bona fide developer, X Networks also emphasizes the stages of creating a social network application project but considers it the best approach to agree on the final development cost before signing the contract. It allows the customer to make a financial plan more accurately while preventing overspent of the project budget.

It is necessary to highlight that the X Networks company does take a flexible approach when working on large projects. The problem is that the customer himself often cannot describe all the social interaction mechanisms of the final project; moreover, the customer's perception changes in the process of working on the project. Based on practical experience, the company takes this into account and can make adjustments until the latest stages. We appreciate long-term cooperation so let us offer you the best solution to create your social network on the market.
