Forum: Discourse
Self-hosted Discourse forum themed to your brand and structured around how your community works. Run as a demo for member discussion, support, or internal knowledge.
When a forum makes sense
Discourse works well when members, customers, or staff need a coordination space that's more structured than chat and more searchable than email. Good fits include trade associations and professional networks, customer support communities, internal knowledge bases, and long-running discussions that need to stay findable months later.
What we customize
Branding and theme
Colors, typography, and layout matched to your identity, so the forum looks like part of your site rather than a third-party add-on bolted on the side.
Access and permissions
Private, semi-private, or fully public. Role-based categories, single sign-on when needed, and granular controls over who can read, post, and moderate.
Categories and structure
Category layout built around how your community actually works, not a generic template. Tags, sub-categories, and pinned topics configured for the way your members navigate.
Hosting and maintenance
Self-hosted on our infrastructure with backups, upgrades, and monitoring handled for you. No per-seat licensing, no surprise bill when membership grows.
Add video calls when chat isn't enough
We can wire in Jitsi for video calls inside Discourse. Start a call from a topic, the meeting link posts back to the thread, and access follows the forum's permissions. It runs alongside the forum on our infrastructure, with no third-party accounts.
