1 September 2026 v1.6.0
- New
You style the member block, from your brand
Member blocks can now be rendered with full styling hooks and no built-in look at all, and the toolkit builds every new block that way. It styles the whole thing from your brand's own palette and typography, so the member grid belongs to your site rather than arriving with a fixed appearance to fight. Pages already built the old way keep working exactly as they are.
- New
Check a place has members before the page is built
A new inventory check measures how many members a place actually has before a page about it is written: whether the brand has members there at all, whether the platform honoured the location filter, and how deep the local pool is. It also makes searching several places at once safe, separating entries so that the 33 region names containing a comma in the name no longer break a list. The check reports counts and place names only; it never records any member's details.
- New
The member block's wording and links are yours to set
Every visible string on a member block can now be set from the page: the link on each card and where it goes, the join tile's wording, the ID-verified badge, and the message shown when there are no results. The card link and the join tile can each be switched off entirely. This matters most on brands that are not in English, where the grid used to arrive with English labels through it; existing pages keep the old defaults.
- Improved
Member blocks only ever show your own members
Member blocks are now strict by default: they show members from your own brand, and a brand that is not yet linked to a member pool shows the block's empty state rather than borrowing members from elsewhere. The toolkit checks for the brand identifier before it builds a block, so a page is never shipped that would render empty for that reason.
27 August 2026 v1.5.0
- New
Show live members on any page
Pages can now carry a members widget: a block that the CMS fills with real members from your brand when the page is built. There is no list to maintain and nothing to keep in sync, and because it needs no JavaScript the page still imports cleanly when you upload a zip. You choose the place, the member types, the age range and how many to show.
- New
Location landing pages
A ready-made page type for the pages that say "meet people in Essex", or wherever your members are, built on the members widget. The toolkit helps you judge whether a place has enough members to deserve its own page, and writes the headings so they stay true if the result comes back thin.
- New
The toolkit knows every valid place name
Country, region and city names now come from the platform's own location list rather than being guessed. This matters because an unrecognised place name is ignored rather than rejected, so a small spelling mistake used to fill a page with members from somewhere else entirely, with nothing on the page looking wrong.
- Improved
Site audit checks your member blocks
Running a site audit now inspects any member block on the page: the place names, the member types, the photo size, and whether your own styling will actually apply to it. It reports what it finds and leaves the changes to you.
10 July 2026 v1.4.0
- Improved
Builds steer CSS-first, avoiding custom JavaScript
The toolkit now defaults to static, CSS-first pages and steers away from custom JavaScript, because a page carrying hand-written JavaScript is rejected when it is imported into the portal (structured-data scripts are the one exception). Wherever an effect can be done in CSS it will be, and if JavaScript is genuinely needed it points you to your account manager. It is guidance, not a lock, and you can tell it you understand to stop the reminders.

- New
Site audit flags pages that will not import
Running a site audit now checks each page for custom scripts and gives you a neutral heads-up if it finds any that are not structured data, warning that those pages would silently fail to import into the portal. It never strips or changes your code; it is purely a heads-up you can act on.
5 July 2026 v1.3.0
- New
Upgrade an existing brand to the current toolkit
Copy your old site and build-assets folders into a fresh toolkit, choosing Replace when prompted about duplicates. It then opens as an ordinary existing project.
- Improved
Real page metadata instead of placeholders
Pages now render a real title, description, and keywords in the HTML rather than placeholder tags. The portal saves these to the page on upload.
- Improved
Structured data and social handled first-party
The portal now injects the site-wide structured data (Organization, canonical) and backfills Open Graph and social cards from your brand. Pages emit only real, page-specific schema and social text, no placeholders.
- Improved
Logo sizing
Logos render at a bold, consistent size by default and keep their aspect ratio, so any shape displays without distortion. Because the portal hydrates the logo at render time, sizing is ratio-agnostic (bounded by max-height and max-width) rather than fixed. Adds a logo alt-text option.
9 June 2026 v1.2.0
- New
Migrate an existing site into your brand
A new migration toolset helps you bring an existing website across. It reads the current site, plans the page structure, and rebuilds the pages in your brand for you to review before anything goes live.
- New
Member profile pages
A ready-made member profile page, with a worked example to follow, so you can add member and team profiles to your brand without building the layout from scratch.
