Community App and Platform Development
Your own community platform with members, groups, events, chat and payments, on web and mobile.
Communities built on social media or rented platforms are at the mercy of algorithms, fees and rules you do not control. Your own app gives you the member relationship, the data and the brand.
I build community apps and membership platforms for associations, alumni networks, clubs, creators and professional groups: profiles, directories, groups, events, chat, announcements and paid memberships, on the web and in the app stores.

Frequently asked questions
Why build a community app instead of using a WhatsApp or Facebook group?
Groups are free but you do not own them: you cannot see member data, control what people see, run paid memberships or build your own brand. An app puts all of that in your hands.
Will the app be on the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. Community apps are built with React Native, so one codebase ships to both stores, published under your own developer accounts.
Can members pay for memberships or events in the app?
Yes. Payments, renewals and event tickets can be handled in the app with providers like Stripe or Razorpay.
