- JomSocial definitely makes creating an online community easy.
If you know PHP or have some development skills you can easily customize the default templates to create your own look and feel or copy another sites.
We customized JomSocial's default template quite a bit at MyInkedSpace.com. Profile pages show the most noticeable changes that we've made.
