Community Platforms

What we do

Membership organisations, trade unions, advocacy networks and learning providers all face a version of the same problem: they need digital infrastructure that supports and strengthens the community they’re building, not just a website that broadcasts at it.

That means members who can manage their own accounts without calling the office. Learning platforms that actually work on a phone at 11pm. Community spaces that feel worthwhile rather than abandoned. Dashboards that give your team the information they need without digging through spreadsheets.

We’ve built platforms for organisations at various stages of this – from simple membership portals on top of an existing WordPress site to full learning management systems with course delivery, assessments and certifications.

How we work

Community platform projects require more discovery than most. The way people actually use a membership platform is often quite different from what the organisation imagines – and building the wrong thing at this scale is an expensive mistake.

We invest time at the start in understanding your community: how they join, how they engage, what they need most, and where the current setup is letting them down. From there we build a specification that reflects real needs rather than assumed ones.

We work primarily in WordPress for membership and community functionality, and LearnDash for course and learning platform builds. For larger or more complex requirements we assess the right architecture for the specific need rather than applying a standard template.
