Website Toolbox
The easiest way to add a forum to your website.
Website Toolbox is a hosted forum platform for adding a discussion community to an existing website or running one as a standalone site with its own domain. It handles hosting, security, backups, and moderation so creators and businesses can run a forum without coding.
Features include customizable themes and branding, embedding into a site or plugins for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and Craft, single sign-on, social login, an API and webhooks, and integrations with 5,000+ apps. Discussion tools cover instant messaging, chat rooms, polls, calendars, notifications, email replies, mentions, and push notifications. Moderation includes AI-based content detection, spam filtering, post and signup approval, and role-based permissions. Monetization options include subscriptions, ads, donations, and sponsorships. Branded iOS and Android apps are available on higher tiers.
It suits creators, businesses, and community managers. A 14-day trial requires no credit card. Plans are Starter, Growth, Pro, and Enterprise, billed monthly or annually with a discount for annual billing, and are limited by page views, storage, and admin seats, with transaction fees applied to paid memberships or donations.
