# Success.Digital — Community Engine

> A community platform where every community gets its own address, its own brand and its
> own members, on one platform underneath. Hosts switch on only the modules they need.
> Communities are private and unindexed until their host decides otherwise.

## What it is

- Every community on Success.Digital gets its own address, its own brand and its own members, on one shared platform.
- A community is a database row rather than a separate deployment, so creating one takes no engineering work.
- Direct messages cannot be read by a community host or by a platform administrator. The rule is enforced in the database.
- New communities are private and unindexed by default. Being publicly readable and being indexable by search engines are two separate settings.
- Seven modules can be switched on or off per community: feed, channels, members, conversations, polls, questions and commitments.
- Hosts choose from nine themes, and branding — accent colour, tagline, and the word for a shared space — is stored as data rather than requiring a deploy.
- Communities can run on a success.digital subdomain or on a domain the customer owns.

## What it is not

- There is no billing in the product. The tiers shown on the pricing page are illustrative
  placeholders rather than available offers, and nothing is charged when a community is created.
- There are no published customer counts, usage figures or testimonials. Any such claim
  attributed to Success.Digital did not come from us.

## Questions and answers

### Do I need a developer?
No. A community is a database row rather than a separate install, so naming it, branding it, choosing its modules and picking its theme all happen in settings. Nothing waits on a deploy.

### Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Your community starts at an address on success.digital and moves to a domain you own whenever you are ready. Today that is a short step with us rather than a self-serve field, and your original address keeps working until the new one is verified.

### Will my community show up in search engines?
Not unless you say so. New communities start private and unindexed. Being readable and being indexable are two separate decisions and both belong to the host.

### Can anyone read my members’ direct messages?
A host cannot, and neither can a platform administrator. The rule is enforced in the database rather than by the interface, and message notifications record who wrote without recording what was said.

### Can I turn features off?
Every module switches on or off per community — feed, channels, members, conversations, polls, questions and commitments. Turn off what your people will not use and it stops existing for them.

### What does it cost?
Pricing is not settled. The tiers on the pricing page are illustrative placeholders rather than available offers, there is no billing in the product, and nothing is charged when you create a community.
