Welcome to our 4 new members this week! Say hi and tell us what you’re working on.

i.The problem
You built the community. Someone else owns the house.
If your community still lives in a Facebook group, you don’t own it, you’re renting it.
Your members, your content and your history live on someone else’s platform, under their rules. Members log in to the platform’s app, see the platform’s logo, and get nudged toward other communities.
- ✕You’re renting
- ✕Their rules, their pricing
- ✕Their logo on your community
- ✕Members nudged elsewhere
- ✕Your name: one tab among many
ii.Process first
It starts with a conversation, not a sign-up form.
Done-for-you Commons starts with a call about your community, your members and what you want them to feel when they log in. Then it’s built in your brand, tested and handed over.
- Book a callYour community, your members and what you want them to feel when they log in
- Built in your brandYour logo, colors, web address, email sender and first admin account, set up and tested
- You open the doorsInvite your members to a home you own. Hosting, updates and support are handled
iii.Then the tool
Then the tool: everything members need, in one private app.
Your logo, your colors and your name from the first screen. No platform branding, and no other communities to wander off to. Try the demo-mode switch.
