CommunitiesOS Community Setup & Build delivers a fully configured, branded community - custom domain, private channels, member roles, welcome content, and admin walkthrough - before you go live. You show up to a finished community.
Done-for-you community platform setup for churches, nonprofits, professional associations, and membership organizations.
Most organizations that sign up for CommunitiesOS have a clear picture of what their community should look like - and very little time to build it. The domain needs configuring. The channels need structuring. The member roles need setting. The welcome content needs loading. The admin needs training. Community Setup & Build handles all of it. From the moment you engage the service to the moment we hand off the keys, your staff is focused on their actual work - not learning a new platform.
CommunitiesOS Community Setup & Build is a done-for-you service that delivers a fully configured, branded, and launch-ready community platform for churches, nonprofits, professional associations, and membership organizations - at a one-time price starting at $497 with no retainers and no ongoing service fees.
Community Setup & Build covers every element of your CommunitiesOS configuration - from the first DNS record to the final admin walkthrough.
Your community lives at your domain - not a CommunitiesOS subdomain. We handle the full DNS configuration, connect your custom domain, and set up your branded login page so members arrive at your community, not ours. No technical knowledge required on your end. We handle the records, test the connection, and confirm everything is live before handoff.
Your logo uploaded, your brand colors applied, your community theme configured to match your organization's visual identity. Every member-facing element - login page, community header, email communications - reflects your brand. CommunitiesOS stays invisible.
Your organizational structure mapped onto the platform. Private channels for committees, ministry teams, chapters, and working groups - each invisible to non-members, each with the right access controls. Announcement channel configured for organization-wide communications. Channel structure reviewed and approved by you before handoff.
Owner, Admin, Channel Manager, and Contributor roles configured for your team. Role-based access applied across every group and channel. Your staff has the access they need. Your members have the access they should. Nothing is open that shouldn't be.
Your announcement channel loaded with a welcome post. Your community introduction content formatted and published. Members who join on day one find an active, professional community - not an empty platform.
A dedicated handoff session where we walk your team through everything we built - how to post to the announcement channel, how to manage members, how to add new channels, how to run reports. You leave the handoff call with full admin access and the confidence to run the community we built for you.
