Full-Scale Custom Community Platform Implementation

When Wix announced the discontinuation of their native Forum product, I engineered a proprietary community ecosystem from the ground up. This end-to-end solution replaced the stock application with a high-performance, fully custom platform, granting the client total creative and functional independence.

Core Engineering Highlights-
Architecture & Logic: Built a scalable infrastructure using Wix Velo (JavaScript), replacing standard features with bespoke logic for threads, nested comments, and real-time interactions.

Relational Database Design: Engineered a complex CMS structure to handle cross-referenced data for users, notifications, permissions, and engagement metrics.

Advanced User Permissions: Developed a multi-tier authentication system to manage distinct roles for Guests, Members, Moderators, and Admins.

Real-Time Engagement: Integrated a custom notification engine for instant alerts on likes, mentions, and replies using Wix Events.

Performance Optimization: Leveraged conditional rendering and optimized query filtering to ensure a seamless, low-latency user experience.

Custom Admin Suite: Delivered a centralized backend dashboard for comprehensive content moderation, user management, and data analytics.

The Result-
A 1:1 replacement for Wix Forum that exceeded the original’s capabilities—offering the client full platform sovereignty, unlimited design flexibility, and a future-proof community asset.
