Make your community look like it belongs to your company

No dark-mode styles — this email renders the same in a dark client.

Brand it, own it.

If you're going to walk your leadership team through your site, or demo it at a standup, it needs to look and feel like your company. The good news is the parts that matter most are also the quickest.

Start with the easy wins. Your logo, favicon, and brand colors are all located in the Appearance section of your admin dashboard. Five minutes there is the difference between "we set up a forum" and "we built a community platform." Get those right first!

From there, a lot more is possible. On Pro and above, you can add custom themes and headers for full design control!

When you present this internally

In a Slack message, a meeting, or a doc, lead with:

-

"It's already branded to match us"

-

"AI handles moderation and search automatically"

-

"Every discussion is indexed by Google, free SEO for our product"

-

"It scales without hiring; the trust system builds our mod team for us"

If you can get your manager or a product lead to post 1 reply before you go wider, that alone strengthens the internal case.
