About us

Community Box was started in 2018 by husband and wife team Roland Hougs and Katy Carlisle. We’re based on beautiful Vancouver Island off the west coast of Canada 🍁

Roland was previously a developer in the games industry who had always wanted to be part of a startup. Katy had worked for non-profits before setting up her own Squarespace web design business and realising the need for a simple directory solution that could be added to existing websites.

Through Community Box we love using our combined experience and skills to help people who are making a positive difference.

  • Proudly customer-funded

    Since we launched we haven’t taken any outside funding; this means that we’re accountable to our customers and not investors.

  • Built on values (and donuts)

    We’re proud to work with organisations that champion inclusivity, diversity, sustainability and animal welfare.

  • Real human support

    We respond to each help request individually. There’s a reason why customers call our support outstanding!

  • Made for everyone

    Community Box can be used without any coding knowledge, and we’re priced to grow with you.
