Steps for creating a Community Website
1. Identify your community of interest and register
Your community can be a neighborhood, city, county, region of a state, or multiple states.
2. Discover important local issues based on the industries in your community
Use our
lifecycle comparison tool to identify local issues.
3. Join or form a new team
Create or join a team for your city or community. You may also form a coding/design team focused on specific
project areas. You can return to your registration page later to add team and project info. Use the link in the email you receive during registration.
4. Create a community page
Check out our existing
community pages and learn how to make your own. The easiest way is to fork the
apps directory, then copy and edit an existing app folder. Also, clone the
localsite repo into the same webroot as the apps folder to provide support files. Read more about
how to create your own local site.
5. Create beautiful content and add new functionality
Create new visuals and content for your community page. Embed new or existing
USEEIO widgets in your page. We encourage page designs that can be reused by multiple communities.
