Every resource.

Sound familiar

Your network has outgrown spreadsheets and inboxes.

Eight things nonprofits and community networks tell us on the first call, and what each one looks like after launch.

TodayAfter launch

Member directory in a spreadsheet

A searchable directory that changes when members update their profiles

Profiles updated only by admins

Members keep their own profiles current, and your team reviews

No self-service for members

Members sign in to edit details, find each other and answer requests

Resources scattered across drives

Guides, jobs and events in one tagged, searchable hub

Tiny team doing everything by hand

One review queue, with welcome emails sent on their own

Visit and event requests by email

Requests go straight to the member, who replies in the portal

Public can't search what you offer

A public directory anyone can search and share, no account needed

Software that doesn't fit your workflow

Built around how your network actually runs

What we build

Four front doors. One system.

Members, partner organizations, the public and a small admin team each get the view they need, and every profile lives in the same database.

portal.yourbrand.com/member-portalMember portal
For: Invited members and partner organizations

Invited members create and update their own profiles, find each other and request visits or collaborations without going through the admin team.

Why it matters

Members keep their own profile current, find each other and answer visit or collaboration requests themselves, so nothing waits on the admin team or sits in a shared inbox.

portal.yourbrand.com/public-directoryPublic directory
For: Schools, partners and the public

A searchable, filterable directory of organizations, people and resources that the public can browse without an account and share with a single link.

Why it matters

Anyone can search members and organizations by topic and location without an account, share a search as one link and send a request that goes straight to the right member.

portal.yourbrand.com/resource-hubResource hub
For: Members, staff and the public

Guides, jobs, events and resources in one place, tagged and searchable, instead of scattered across shared drives and old newsletters.

Why it matters

Guides, jobs and events are tagged once and found in one search instead of in shared drives and old newsletters, and members save what they need to their own list.

portal.yourbrand.com/admin-moderationAdmin moderation
For: Small admin teams and boards

A small admin team approves new members, reviews submissions and keeps every listing accurate from one queue, without needing technical help.

Why it matters

New members, submissions and sign-ups wait in one queue. Nothing is listed before review, sign-ups without an invitation are declined, and welcome emails go out on their own.

White-labeled

Your logo, your colors, your domain.

Your team and clients never see our name or a vendor’s. The same system, dressed as your business.

  • Runs on your own domain, with your email sender
  • Your fonts and colors on every screen and notification
  • Separate branding per office or team if you need it

“Vaibhav saved me. I tried everything to fix my Softr/Airtable portal and he got it sorted straight away, at a very reasonable rate. He finished exactly when he said he would and was great to deal with. I plan to hire him again for future automations.”

Nada El HannaAustralia · Upwork review
“Vaibhav delivered outstanding work on a complex automation and dashboard project. He's solution-oriented, communicates clearly, and consistently delivers high-quality results. The integration across Softr, Airtable, Make.com and Stripe was handled professionally and efficiently. Highly recommend.”

Milos LukacsUnited Kingdom · Upwork review
“Vaibhav delivered on a very tight timeline and got our Softr app polished and launch-ready. He handled multiple pages and made sure the product felt consistent and mobile-first. Communication was clear, and he had a strong eye for UI/UX. Would hire again.”

Questions nonprofits and community networks ask

Before you book the call.

No. A spreadsheet is usually imported as part of the build. Where your CRM or membership system offers an export or an API, members can come in on a schedule instead. We agree before kickoff which system is the source of truth, so nobody keeps two lists.

You choose: invitation only, open sign-up with review, or both. Invited members accept by email and fill in their own profile, nothing appears in the directory until someone on your team approves it, and a welcome email goes out on its own.

Question not on the list?Ask Vaibhav directly on WhatsApp, or bring it to the call.

Your call is with Vaibhav Garg, founder. He scopes every build and sets the fixed quote himself.
