Ready to explore? Let’s dive in!

What is FluentCommunity?

FluentCommunity is a versatile WordPress plugin that allows you to create and manage communities of any size directly on your WordPress site. 

From personal interest groups to professional networks or business platforms, this tool simplifies the process of building and hosting vibrant communities. It also supports easy course sharing, making it ideal for educators and businesses offering training or educational content. 

The Story of FluentBoards Team: Why and How We Started Using FluentCommunity

At our parent company, WPManageNinja, our users are our top priority. We believe in staying connected with them and actively listening to their feedback.

To facilitate this, we’ve established dedicated private groups on Facebook for each of our products.

But do these groups truly meet our needs?

Well, to be honest, not completely!

• Many of our users aren’t comfortable using Facebook
• We’ve to switch platforms to communicate with our users
• We receive a lot of unnecessary join requests, and verifying them is time-consuming

And most importantly, as you know, social media can be a major time sink!

So, the search for a better alternative didn’t come to us overnight! We had been considering it for a long time. And, when we decided to launch FluentBoards, the need for a more specialized community became clearer!

Before we went live with FluentBoards publicly, we wanted a few beta testers to try it first.

We wanted their reviews, insights, and feature requests, and to design FluentBoards based on their feedback. So, initially, we thought about creating a separate Facebook group.

But here’s where our challenges peaked!

• We aimed to build an exclusive community, where only select members could join. However, maintaining transparency and ensuring only the right people had access to that Facebook group turned out to be a complex task.

• Since we planned to develop FluentBoards based on our beta testers’ feedback, keeping a close eye on their comments was crucial. It needed to be real-time communication. However, tracking everything on Facebook was difficult. Plus, since we run everything on WordPress, constantly switching platforms could waste our valuable time.

• We also wanted to give our users VIP treatment! But how could a Facebook group deliver that?

So, we began searching for a better alternative. And guess what? 

The solution was right in front of us!

We already had a community plugin we’d been developing for years and were using it as an internal communication hub for over 100 employees, engaging and sharing thoughts on different topics.

And, we decided to leverage it to create a personalized, exclusive community for our beta testers. And the result?

How FluentCommunity Made Things Easier for Us?

Well, it worked like magic!

And, we must admit that FluentCommunity deserves a lot of credit for where FluentBoards is today!

When we set up a dedicated group for our beta testers, the first thing we noticed was how much easier everything became!

No more switching between platforms! We could manage everything right from our WordPress site. And guess what?

While we can’t pinpoint the exact numbers, we believe it saved us a ton of time! There were no more social media distractions and our daily productivity increased by at least 10-15%!

Soon it became a group of 1000+ members and everyone was sharing their views, thoughts, and feature requests there. And thanks to FluentCommunity’s dynamic notification features (including email updates), we weren’t missing any bit of it.

We engaged with our beta testers continuously, discussing their requests!

Besides, its intuitive chat features helped us take our communication a step further and provide a more personalized experience for our users.

It felt like we all were sailing smoothly on the same boat, with engagement and accountability at an all-time high! 

And, FluentCommunity truly made us live up to the statement, ‘FluentBoards is designed by our users, developed by us!’

Here’s an interesting fact!

When we invited beta testers to the group, some quickly became curious about the plugin we used to build the platform. And guess what? 

At one point, there was more buzz about FluentCommunity than FluentBoards!

They were saying things like, ‘Yes, we want FluentBoards, but we also want FluentCommunity!’

And you know us—meeting our users’ needs is always a top priority.

So here we are, presenting FluentCommunity: a community plugin demanded by the community and developed by WPManageNinja.
