Website Toolbox
Website Toolbox is a platform for creating hosted online community forums that can be integrated into an existing website. Businesses and organisations can use forums to allow customers or members to discuss topics, ask questions, and share information.
Key features include:
- Hosted community discussion forums
- Topic and category management
- User registration and moderation tools
- Customisable forum appearance
- Embeddable forums for external websites
Website Toolbox integrates with ShopWired by providing embed code that can be added to your theme or website pages so your forum can display directly on your website.
