Custom platforms and communities
If your network of members, clients or sellers talks through WhatsApp groups and email chains, or ready-made tools don't do what you need, we build the right space, with your name on it.
The situation
Important discussions end up in a WhatsApp group of three hundred people, materials in attachments nobody can find, and membership fees are chased with an Excel sheet. Ready-made platforms are anonymous, full of adverts or don't connect to your website, and when the idea is more ambitious (multiple shops, multiple sellers, live video) there is no tool that can hold it.
How we do it
We build platforms under your brand, connected to your website and your archives. From communities with profiles, groups, messages, materials and sign-ups with online payment, to more complex platforms: multiple shops and sellers on the same platform, live video, roles and permissions, payments, mobile apps. People already registered on the website log in with the same credentials.
What you get
When your network only talks on WhatsApp and email
-
01
One login
Website and platform share the same account: no second registration.
-
02
Roles and moderation
Who can see, write or sell what is decided by role; sensitive content (clinical cases, for example) goes through moderation before it becomes visible.
-
03
Online payments
Sign-ups, renewals and sales are paid online, and members in good standing see restricted content.
For the Società Italiana di Chirurgia Maxillo-Facciale, the Italian society of maxillofacial surgery, we built the new sicmf.org portal and, alongside it, a private social network for members that we created and run: groups by surgical area, moderated clinical cases, two-factor authentication, a single login shared with the portal.
It is an example, not a limit. Communities are one part of what we can build: we also work on more complex platforms, with multiple shops and sellers on the same platform, live video, roles and permissions, subscriptions and payments, connections to management software and mobile apps. If the tool you need doesn't already exist, we write it from scratch; if it does, we connect it to everything else.
A platform stays alive if people find something there they can't find elsewhere: a case to discuss, a confidential document, a colleague to contact, a product to watch live. That is why we start from who will use it, what they are looking for and how often they will log in, before choosing the features.
Who it's for
Scientific societies, associations, professional bodies and networks, training organisations and companies that want to bring together clients, resellers or partners; and anyone with a platform of their own in mind (multiple shops, multiple sellers, live video, subscriptions) who can't find a suitable ready-made tool.

Frequently asked questions
Before you ask.
Do you also build platforms that aren't communities?
Yes. Besides private communities we build more complex platforms: multiple shops and sellers on the same platform, live video, roles and permissions, subscriptions and payments, connections to management software and mobile apps. We start from how it needs to work and choose accordingly what to write from scratch and what to use ready-made.
What is the difference between a private community and a social media group?
A private community is a space with your rules: access, content and members stay under your control and don't depend on a social network's algorithm. It also connects to your website, memberships and restricted materials, which a Facebook or WhatsApp group can't do.
Do members have to register twice?
No: with single sign-on, anyone registered on the website enters the community with the same credentials. Profiles and membership status stay in step between the two.
Who runs the community after launch?
You can run it with your own staff and leave the technical side to us: updates, security and new features. For SICMF, for example, we created the platform and we run it.
