01 / Problem

The need

The group needed a clear first impression for guests and a practical place for members to coordinate. Events, introductions, activity reports, and meeting preparation needed to stay connected.

02 / Our approach

What we built

We built the public website, private member area, and leader tools together. An installable web app and iPhone companion bring the same experience to members on the move.

03 / What we built

How it works

Guests can explore the group and register for an event. Signed-in members can request introductions, arrange one-to-one meetings, send messages, and record activity. Leaders manage guests, schedules, presentations, and reports.
