Customizing your community ensures it reflects your brand and delivers the right experience for your members. From branding and colors to group setup and controls, Knorish gives you flexibility to design the community space your way. In this guide, we will walk you through the main areas you can customize in your community.
Customize your business branding and colors
Your business identity carries through your site, courses, and community, giving members a consistent branded experience.
Here’s what you can personalize:
- Update your organization's name in Settings > General > Display Name, which reflects across your site, community, and user dashboard.
- Upload your business logo under Website Builder > Site Settings so it’s visible everywhere members interact.
- Apply brand colors and themes via Website Builder > User Theme, choosing between colors for colors for links, buttons, and menus and using a light or a dark theme.
- Extend your branding by creating a website, installing a theme for the website and building landing pages for your community, ensuring design consistency between your site, courses and community's branding.
With these updates, your community aligns seamlessly with your overall brand identity.
Customize group setup and visuals
Groups are the building blocks of your community. Customizing them makes it easier for members to identify and engage with the right spaces.
Here’s how you can tailor your groups:
- Name each group clearly and add a description so members know what to expect.
- Choose a group icon from defaults, emojis, or upload a custom image.
- Adjust the sorting order of groups so your most important ones appear at the top.
Customize group options and controls
Beyond names and visuals, groups can be configured with specific options and controls to enhance usability.
Here’s what you can manage:
- Show or hide user count, post count, and comments count in each group.
- Enable or disable the new post button depending on whether you want open posting.
- Turn Flow AI on or off if available in your plan.
- Share a direct join group link with your audience for easy onboarding.
Important Considerations
- Branding changes like colors, logos, and names apply platform-wide, not just to the community.
- Preview theme changes before publishing to ensure readability and design balance.
- Keep group names and icons clear so members can easily navigate
- Revisit group settings as your community grows and needs evolve.
- By customizing these areas, you can create a community space that feels professional, welcoming, and true to your brand.
