Platform

Every module a community needs, working as one

One member record drives the website, the directory, events, the feed, billing and the apps. Edit it once and it is right everywhere. Every module on this page is live at the Melville Chamber of Commerce.

News

Publish like a newsroom, without the newsroom

Stories live in the platform, not in a page builder. Write in HQ, pick a category and an image, and it is on the site, in both apps and in the RSS feed within a minute.

  • An archive, a page per category, and a story page with share buttons
  • Feature a story to lead the front page
  • “Contributed by” credit when a member wrote it
  • An RSS feed for anyone who reads that way

Events and tickets

From calendar listing to the check-in table

A three-month calendar with your events and members’ events side by side, and every one of yours able to take registrations, payments and a ticket to the door.

  • A live seat count, and a waitlist that takes over when the room is full
  • Member and guest prices; guests pay by card as they register
  • A ticket page with a QR code, and an Apple Wallet pass
  • Add to calendar, Google Calendar and directions in the confirmation
  • Arrival instructions, and a clear banner if an event is canceled
  • A pay-at-the-door page the guest opens from a QR code

Member directory

A directory that sends members business

Filter by name, category and town instantly, see members on a map, or just describe the job and AI suggests who does it.

  • “Describe what you need”: type “clean my office” and the cleaning companies come up
  • A full page per member: logo, banner, gallery, services, hours with open or closed now, booking button, socials and their feed posts
  • A map pin for every address, with a switch for members who would rather hide the street
  • A QR code for every listing, sized for a counter card
  • Save a business to your contacts, and Promoted listings that are always labeled

Business cards and connections

Every person gets a card, and a contact list

A digital business card at its own short address, and a way to swap details that only works when both people agree.

  • Name, title, company, bio and socials, with a “Verified” mark on a phone number proved by text
  • Download to contacts, a QR code, and an Apple Wallet pass
  • “Ask to connect”: details are exchanged only when the other person accepts
  • Private notes, tags, where you met and a follow-up date on every contact
  • Choose a card color, which business to show, and whether to show phone and email

Member portal

Members manage themselves

People sign in with a code or one-tap link by email. A free account needs no listing; managing a business unlocks the rest.

  • A listing editor with an 8,000-character description, services, service area and booking link
  • “Let us write the first draft”: AI drafts the listing from the business’s own website, and nothing saves until they do
  • Logo and banner with a cropper
  • A team of the owner plus three, each with their own sign-in
  • Every payment to the community, each with a PDF receipt
  • Suggested members to meet, based on what they said they are looking for
  • A default business for people who manage more than one

Member feed

A social feed that stays professional

Members post what is new: hiring, moving, launching, celebrating. Every post is screened on the way in, and every post has its own page to share.

  • Up to 5,000 characters and a photo, three posts per business a day
  • Automatic screening: publish, hold for the office, or refuse with a reason
  • Likes with no account needed
  • Report a post, or block a business so its posts leave your feed
  • Addresses and phone numbers in a post become links

Groups and towns

Pages for the groups and places you serve

The circles inside a community, and the towns it covers, each get a page built from what is already in the platform.

  • A page per group, with its meeting rhythm, usual venue and next meeting read from the calendar
  • A page for every county and town, built from the member list
  • One search box across members, stories, events, posts and pages

Getting found

Written for search engines and AI assistants

A line in a list does nothing for a member business. A real page, marked up the way search engines read, gets them named when someone nearby asks who to call.

  • Structured data for the organization, every business, event, story, town and FAQ
  • A robots file that welcomes AI crawlers, and an llms.txt that describes the site
  • A sitemap that updates itself
  • Permanent redirects from every old page, so rankings carry over at launch

Reach and help

Keep people coming back, and never stuck

The tools to reach people and the help to use it are built in.

  • Newsletter sign-up with a welcome email and one-click unsubscribe
  • Email broadcasts and push notifications from HQ
  • A help guide with fifteen sections, and a help drawer beside the portal
  • Every form saves a flagged message rather than dropping it, so no inquiry is lost to a spam filter
