Discourse
An open-source forum software that we shape into a key part of our clients’ engagement ecosystems.
The leading open-source community solution for membership organisations in the UK, Discourse allows us to deliver and exceed on client expectations in browser, app, and email without imposing hefty fees.
Its exceptional user experience and seamless integration with our app product, MemConnect, ensure a robust community ecosystem. It’s a cost-effective solution that doesn't compromise on baseline quality while offering our developers and designers exceptional flexibility.
We’re always happy to provide a demo so you can understand the transformational power of online community and understand how we leverage and extend its features for organisations and charities.
We couldn’t have asked for a better partner on this project than Cantarus. Their expertise in online community, along with their specific knowledge in adapting and developing Discourse solutions over time, was the ultimate decider in Agorapulse choosing them; they have helped us to deliver a truly meaningful, engaging platform that will provide our users with value and facilitate better conversations.
Whether you're looking to get more from your existing Discourse community or build a forum from the ground up, you can rest assured that you'll be in safe hands with our team of expert consultants, developers and designers.
From staffing and branding to community structure and CRM integration, our multidisciplinary team has extensive experience in creating effective online communities for a wide range of associations around the world. Work alongside our team to build and execute your unique community roadmap.
We can integrate your online community with your CRM, so member updates automatically reflect in community access and permissions. Beyond functionality, we’ll also take care of branding and design, ensuring your community blends into your wider digital ecosystem – familiar, intuitive, and on-brand.
Every community has different needs, so we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you need moderation, reporting, hands-on support, or training for your internal team, we’ll tailor a personalised plan that helps your community to not only thrive, but stand out from the rest.
For organisations using Higher Logic, we offer a robust mobile-first community experience through our MemConnect mobile app platform. With the Online Community module, members can connect, share insights, and support each other wherever they are – crafting connections anytime, anywhere.

We'd love to talk to you about all things Discourse. Get in touch today to arrange a demo with our Chief Product Officer, Mark Eichler, and explore how an online community can add exponential value to your member value proposition.
