Social & Community Templates

Sites and apps built around people and participation: forums, member networks, feeds, and groups. The Social & Community templates foreground activity and belonging, with profiles, discussion threads, reactions, and the social proof of a living community that invites newcomers to join in. Every template here is structured around a member, someone with an identity, a history, and a reason to return, whether that is a friendly discussion forum like Jellybean Commons, a calm messaging shell like Undertone, a salary-transparent job board, a resident portal, or an event-day console. Built for membership sites, networks, and social products, these pages convert because visitors can see the community working before they ever sign up.

What to look forStart with the kind of participation you need most: open discussion, direct messaging, structured listings, or member self-service, and check that the template's core screens cover it. Look at what data each template expects, since member profiles, threads, and listings bind differently to a real backend. Finally, weigh tone and layout: a calm utility shell and a lively forum serve very different audiences, so pick the one your members will recognize as theirs.

Social & Community templates — common questions

Do these community templates actually work, or are they just static mockups?+

They are complete app UIs with real layouts, copy, and components, not screenshots. When you remix one, web-app UIs like Undertone's chat shell or Jellybean Commons' forum threads bind to real data, so you start from a working product rather than a picture of one.

Can I preview a template before committing to it?+

Yes, every Social & Community template previews free in your browser before you remix anything. You can click through the full multi-page experience, from member profiles to discussion threads, to make sure the structure fits your community before taking the code.

Who owns the code after I remix a template?+

You do. Remixing produces a clean codebase you own outright and can host anywhere, currently rolling out via early access. There is no lock-in to Dual7 for hosting or ongoing access to your project.

Can I change the look of a template to match my community's brand?+

Yes, every template can be restyled by any Dual7 design system, so the same layout works across very different visual identities. Jellybean Commons' friendly forum or Porch Charter's resident portal can take on your brand without rebuilding the underlying structure.

Are these only for public social networks, or do they cover private groups too?+

The category covers both public-facing and private member communities. Charter Careers targets employers running a job board, while Host Desk gives event organizers a live check-in console, so closed, purpose-built groups are as well served as open discussion forums.
