Forum Demo: Included Pages & How to Customize It

Forum demo

Canvas includes a dedicated Forum and Community demo for anyone who wants to launch a discussion driven website without rebuilding components from scratch. It comes with a complete set of pages for browsing topics, reading individual discussions, signing in and out, editing a profile, viewing another member, and searching across the board, so a working community site can go live in very little time.

The look leans warm and welcoming, built around a soft amber theme color set in Inter typography and laid out in a stretched format with a full header and a search overlay that opens from the nav. It feels less like a corporate help desk and more like a friendly member forum, with room for avatars, signatures, badges, and long thread views.
