This will depend on how many team members you'd like and also how far out from release we're able to start. Ideally, we'd keep forms open for 2 weeks, have 1 week to vet, and then another week to finalize the team.

We will create graphics for the server, roles for readers, and all the channels. Everything will be customized to you! This generally takes 2 weeks to be fully functional.


We will make graphics specific for the Facebook group including interactive posts that will automatically post weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. This generally takes 1 week to be fully functional.
