What is netAdventist?
netAdventist is a content management software suite first designed by Three Angels Global Networking, Inc (TAGnet), formerl based in Fallbrook, California. The software suite was given to the Seventh-day Adventist Church and now falls under the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist Office of Global Software Development.
Top-notch programmers have created this revolutionary software suite to provide the global Adventist church with a common communication platform that empowers its churches, schools, conferences and ministries at the local level while connecting them to the best evangelism resources and tools the church has to offer.
Due to a licensing agreement with the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, every Adventist organization can now have a netAdventist Web site. This means even small churches and schools can have a professional website that supports their efforts to share Christ in their local area.

What makes netAdventist unique?
What makes netAdventist so unique is its ability to provide an online presence at the local level that reinforces the distinctive message of the global Seventh-day Adventist Church. With netAdventist, visitors to your website will immediately recognize that you belong to a global church movement.
Sites using the Adventist Corporate themes will visually identify with Adventist.org and many other denominational sites, while maintaining their own unique elements. Key features include large locally supplied photos, the option to include the Adventist Beliefs widget that ties to adventist.org, responsive code that helps your site look great on everything from smartphones to big computer screens, and configurable links to social media sites.
With netAdventist, your website will also have full translation capabilities. This enables you to share news about your ministry with a church, say, in China, and members there can access it through their translation module and post it to their website in Chinese. Both the content and the website software framework is fully translatable.

In addition, your netAdventist site is able to generate online forms, as well as load and display documents (i.e. school handbooks or church directories), create photo albums and event calendars, and submit prayer requests.
