But, you can design your community or social networking site which may gain some influence with time generating millions of viewers each month.

I tried to find fault in it but couldn’t the attention to detail is just phenomenal.

Milwaukee School of Engineering’s Bridge

Milwaukee School BuddyPress example

What I like most of all about this website is the design that is modern and sleek. Most impressive is how they incorporated BuddyPress examples to have the look and feel in keeping with the rest of the website. When I first arrived at Milwaukee School of Engineering, I doubted whether this site was WordPress powered. The was mainly to the custom approach they took with the permalink moving away from the default.  This site defiantly gets the thumbs up from us.

Dogs Universe

BuddyPress Examples

On arriving on dogs universe, I was at first overwhelm by the amount of information set in front of me. The positive of this site is how the integrated all the different section of the site to get a seamless browsing experience. Now on the negatives the entire site is a bit busy with a bit of rearranging they could be onto a winner. I would personally use the homepage to tell a story of what the site is about as you scroll down the page and look changing a few of the menu item to a drop-down menu.

Esse community

European community showcase

The European community as done a magnificent job of promoting its user-generated content on the homepage. This as several benefits it shows that the community is active and alive and can help with the search engines because your content stands a greater chance of being index. Another positive is the minimalism going on everything seems well layout and easy to access.
The only negative I can say is they could have done more with their members page.

Help Site

HELP showcase

This Help subdomain is pretty basic, but it’s straight to the point. It could do with a lick of paint to make it more modern, but I think it looks great let me know your thoughts below.  Also, the screenshot taken does not do the site justice, so I urge you to go check it out.

 

Sheep World

If you are looking for a design a bit out the box, then SheepWorld might give you food for thought. You have to check it out to see what I mean the background image as cute inserts moving around the screen. The positive Sheep World is the design because you would defiantly leave a lasting impression giving readers something to talk about. I was looking for negatives to comment on, and the only thing I could find is that the colours can be overwhelming. What is also interesting and worth mention is that when you try to click on a post from BuddyPress examples it redirects you to a well put together login page asking you to login.

    MSOE’s community site uses Jive for the primary social experience. They may have WordPress in there somewhere, but are you sure they’re using BuddyPress?
