All the software we use is open source, free and documented, and we endeavour to package it for you in useful, flexible ways.

Few communities though will be able to rally all the necessary skills to consult, design, build, test, host and maintain such software. Community Forge can:

• Provide you with our free, hosted community site (see the demo)
• Provide you with our free community site, for you to host, administrate and maintain
• Build your customised barter community currency web site

Custom software development and hosting help to cover the costs of all our other activities, but our aim is that every community can afford to have their most common needs met.

Tell us about your community, what kind of web site it wants, what skills and budget it has, and we will outline some options for you.

Then we offer to install your site, customise it, build new tools, and host it; and we will support your community to adapt and maintain it so you can be ever more autonomous.
