Community Solution: Modular, Best-Practice-Driven Design for Diverse Community Needs
Right now, our UX team is focused on creating high-impact landing page and dashboard variations for the platformOS Community Solution.
The goal: deliver a strong, best-practice foundation that can cover a broad spectrum of community types, while remaining fully customizable through a flexible, reusable component library.
Our strategic approach prioritizes audience-specific solutions over generic flows.
We’ve identified four key community archetypes - Learning & Education, Practice Sharing & Knowledge Base, Advocacy & Change, and Showcase & Collaboration - each with tailored user journeys, engagement mechanics, and content strategies. By designing for these types, we’re ensuring the solution is relevant to real-world use cases while keeping all elements interchangeable for rapid adaptation.
Landing Pages are being developed from low- to high-fidelity, focusing on section layouts, compelling “hooks,” and content positioning that drive marketing outcomes and sign-ups for community solution owners.
Dashboards are designed to serve both new and returning active users, blending engagement triggers, FOMO elements, and retention-focused design patterns, while remaining adaptable to the unique goals of different community types.
This modular design strategy will allow partners and clients to quickly assemble tailored experiences without starting from scratch, reducing time-to-launch while benefiting from proven UX patterns.
Next Steps: We’re now moving towards preparing designs for a demo experience that will showcase the full potential of the Community Solution, highlighting its best-practice-backed architecture, the range of business focussed solutions it can offer, and how easily it can be tailored to different audiences and community goals. This demo will be a tangible example of how partners and clients can turn our flexible foundation into a community of practice that’s uniquely theirs.
We focused on several visual and interactive improvements for the platformOS site, along with new components and variants for our Community Solution:
Created a new ‘featured label’ variant
Created a menu item with a dropdown for the ‘top menu’
Created a public header for the ‘top menu’
Defined image overlay (brand color with 70% opacity)
Fixed sidebar lesson item component (active version)
Created normal/opened big accordion component variants
Created an ‘attendance bar’ for events - desktop/mobile, active/disabled versions
Update closed left sidebar: changes the color of support banner icon, and added the external link icon
Created a compact version for Admin member rows
Created 'organizer' and 'admin' marker for avatars
