In 2021 we had the opportunity to acquire a great product, EasyNetSites. With roots going back to 2008 or so, EasyNetSites is a membership website system, suitable for genealogical, historical, familial, and lineage societies, as well as alumni associations and home-owner-type associations. It can be used for any kind of organization that has members, or like this Blue Crab Software website, even for organizations without members as well.

The original, classic product is ENS-C, and while it works well, it's now a little dated looking. The new product is responsive, and we call it ENS-R. It does everything that ENS-C does, and more, it has a new, modern look, and the pages change shape to maximize readability on wide screen monitors, regular computer monitors, tablets, and even phones. It's a new product built by Blue Crab Software with all the features of the old product, plus many enhancements.

So, if you're looking for genealogical society software, historical society software, lineage society software, familial society software, high school alumni software, HOA/UOA/POA software, or any kind of membership software, we have an EasyNetSites package for you!
