What a community platform looks like

A chat or social media group works for a start, but content, rules, member status and the link to payments soon get lost. If you are building a club, a learning programme, a partner network or an internal company culture, you need a platform with profiles, a feed and a rewards system. Gamification means game mechanics in a non-game setting: points, ranks, achievements, leaderboards and tasks that keep people interested in taking action.

Gamification in plain words. A person gets points, levels and rewards for useful actions. It works in learning, sales, clubs and teams when rewards are tied to real value.
How gamification increases engagement. Visible progress and a clear next goal encourage people to come back. What matters is that the rules are fair and the rewards are worth the effort.

Community, ranks and gamification — from €40 700

A platform where people chat, earn points and rewards and move up in ranks. Members come back because they see their progress and talk with like-minded people.

Life Wellness Wave: ranks, gamification, 18 languages, an LMS, subscriptions and an SEO blog. A financial planning portal (prototype): a club, academy, calculators and a quiz funnel. GRONO: a cashback platform for private education, where users earn rewards. These projects show how engagement combines with learning, payment and roles. See also: learning platform.

What can be used as a base. Ranks, points crediting, profiles and subscriptions are already written. We will show how to adapt them to your project.

We show the price upfront, with no quote on request. The design is made for your brand, not from a template. The code in your repository, the domain and service accounts are registered to you. Infrastructure costs €0 at launch, and we use ready modules from our own projects: ranks, points, feed and events do not have to be written from scratch. See also: marketplace development.

Gamification as part of the platform, not a separate plugin. Points and ranks are linked to learning, payment and roles, so rewards can be tied to users' real actions.

How we work

How we develop a community and rewards system

The steps switch automatically, or click any of them to read more.

We start by asking why people come and what should happen on the platform. We draw a map of actions, choose mechanics and work out how they affect each other. Then we make the design, the platform core and the points and ranks module, and launch first with a small group. Based on its reaction we refine the rules and rewards. See also: architecture session.

How not to overload members. A couple of clear mechanics are enough at the start. We remove surplus rules so gamification helps rather than annoys.

Questions

FAQ

How much does a community platform with gamification cost?

Community, ranks and gamification start from €40,700. The final price depends on the number of mechanics, roles and integrations. We give an exact quote after an architecture session at €3,500, which is credited toward the project.

What is gamification?

It is the use of game mechanics, such as points, ranks, badges and rewards, in non-game tasks: learning, sales, clubs and teamwork. The goal is to sustain interest and repeat actions.

How do I create an online community and where do I start?

Define who it is for and why people will come, and launch with a small group. We help at the architecture session: we describe scenarios, mechanics and the first version of the platform.

Which gamification should I choose for business?

The kind that rewards actions that matter for results: learning, purchases, referrals, completing tasks. We pick two or three mechanics at the start and expand the set as you grow.

How do I launch a referral programme?

You need to define the reward, give members links and count clicks and purchases. The platform does this automatically, and you change the crediting rules in the admin panel.

How is a referral programme different from an affiliate programme?

A referral programme is usually for customers and members recommending to friends. An affiliate programme is for bloggers and companies with ongoing commission. The platform can support both schemes.

How much does it cost to create your own social network?

A community with profiles, a feed and events starts from €40,700. A large social network with a mass audience and complex moderation is scoped separately after an architecture session.

Who owns the platform and member data?

You do. The code in your repository, the database and the accounts are registered to you, and you can develop the project with any team.
