Over the last few months we've been working hard to offer community features to our clients.
Creating a community
Creating quality content is the foundation for being successful on the web, but what truly makes a website successful is your ability to create a community.
Creating a community starts with marketing: creating and engaging in conversations. When you move into a new house, you can integrate into your new community by visiting your neighbors, starting conversations with people walking their dog, complimenting people on their gardens, creating play dates for your kids.
Getting your brand known on the Internet follows pretty much the same principles. You must go out there and meet people where they hang out: in the major hubs on the Internet, whether it is Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, industry forums, etc.
Making your website 'sticky'
All this activity will bring your brand on the radar of your target audience and drive them back to your website. But this is where your website needs to take some of the work off your shoulders. Your website needs to give your visitors the ability to become part of YOUR community and facilitate conversations amongst your niche target group.
That is why we have integrated a community solution into our website offering. Know you can make your website even more sticky by offering visitors a community that revolves around their interests and your main brand offerings.
Features
Your brand, your community
Your community will live on your website, styled in your logo and house themes.
It will offer typical community features that allow your members to showcase their personalities and interests and connect to other members of your website.
Allow visitors to build automated activity streams
All activity by your visitors can be neatly presented on their profile page. Your community members will not only be able to create their own profiles, but their activity on your website or on social networks like Twitter will be neatly displayed on your profile. Your community members will have the option to choose to keep what information and what activities private or not.
Connect with friends
Chatting amongst friends is central in your community. Members will be able to add friends and send private messages or interact in forums.
Because the activity stream allow each user a peak into their communications across the community, plenty of reasons and opportunities for communication are created daily.
Allow members to create groups and manage them
Users will be able to create special interest groups and manage them with ease. They can choose to share their group with the world or keep it private.
Groups add an added interest in the community and can concentrate conversations for those users who want to deal with the clutter large communities can create.

Creating photo albums to share with friends is as easy as 1-2-3! Get your friends to comment on your photos, and as an admin, delete the community photos you deem inappropriate.
