Skip the inbox shuffle and let your community update itself. With Community Box, you set the structure once, and members handle the rest. Start by picking a layout, matching your colors and typography, and defining profile fields (name, role, bio, links, images, location). Use drag-and-drop to arrange sections, turn fields on or off, and add tags or categories for filtering. Preview on phone and desktop as you build. If you’re on Squarespace, drop the directory or submission form into any page via a block or code snippet and inherit your site styles automatically. Set basic SEO for index pages, add a clear submit button, and publish.

Collect entries through a public submission page or an embedded form. Share a link or QR code at events to capture sign-ups on the spot. Contributors can paste social links, add a headshot, and select tags; bios can be edited inline with a simple editor; locations are captured by address and pinned on a map. You choose the workflow: auto-approve for speed, or route new items to a moderation queue. When reviewing, fix typos, crop images, and standardize tags in one place. Need to migrate an old spreadsheet? Import CSV, map your columns to fields, and publish in bulk. Enable search, category filters, and a map view so visitors can quickly find people near them or in specific specialties. Updates roll out instantly and look consistent on any device. more
