Ready to move your community off a hosted platform?

We can rebuild the core functionality and member experience your community relies on, including spaces, discussions, profiles, courses, events, payments, workflows, notifications, gamification, search, analytics and administration. We do not copy any vendor’s proprietary code, and we do not promise that non-exportable historical data transfers automatically. During the audit, we create a feature-parity map and a data-migration plan before the build begins.

It depends on what your current platform lets you export and what you are authorized to move. Member records, profile fields, priority posts, resources and files are typical candidates when usable exports exist. We confirm what is available for your community during the audit.

Usually, yes. Passwords are not something we can transfer between platforms, so members typically set up access on the new platform through an invitation or sign-in link. We plan that communication with you so it feels like a welcome, not a chore.

Generally, yes. The new platform is built in a private staging environment while your current community keeps running. The exact cutover timing is set in the final migration plan.

Paid memberships and subscriptions need their own payment migration plan. Depending on your payment provider and setup, members may need to take action, such as re-entering payment details. We never assume subscriptions transfer automatically.

Yes. The custom platform can become your central, owned hub while Slack or Discord remain connected through approved integrations such as apps, OAuth, bots, webhooks and notifications. A Facebook Group can remain a companion channel. If the community owner can lawfully provide a usable member or content export, we can assess, map and import eligible data. What transfers depends on the fields Facebook provides, member consent, privacy requirements and Meta’s current terms and permissions. Passwords and private messages do not transfer. We confirm the available connections and migration scope during the audit.

Yes. We are happy to work with communities above 1,000 members. Larger communities typically need more detailed architecture, data migration, performance planning, permissions, integrations and launch support, so we scope the platform and investment around the community’s actual requirements.

It depends on the size of your community, the content you want to move and the features in your first launch. We give you a timeline estimate after the audit, rather than a universal schedule.

After payment, you control your brand, content, member data and the project-specific deliverables we create for you. Third-party services the platform relies on, such as hosting, email or payments, remain subject to their own terms, and FormulatedBy keeps its reusable methods and know-how.
