Embedding a forum into your Morweb website

Morweb is a website builder designed specifically for nonprofits and associations. It combines a drag-and-drop site editor with built-in modules for donations, events, membership, directories, and online forms. While Morweb makes it easy to manage your organization's website, it does not include a built-in community forum or discussion feature.

That's where Website Toolbox comes in. You can embed a fully featured discussion forum directly into your Morweb site, or simply link to your forum from your site's navigation. Either way, you get user accounts, moderation tools, and real-time conversations.

This works really well for:

  • Nonprofit member communities
  • Association discussion boards
  • Volunteer coordination
  • Support and prayer groups
  • Event follow-up discussions
  • Committee and board conversations
  • Donor and supporter engagement

This step-by-step guide walks you through the process:

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Morweb have a built-in forum feature?

No, Morweb does not currently have a native forum feature. However, you can easily add a forum to your site using Website Toolbox, either by embedding it directly into a page or by linking to it from your navigation.

Should I embed the forum or link to it?

Both work well. Embedding keeps users on your Morweb site and integrates the forum seamlessly into your page layout. Linking is simpler to set up and opens the forum in its own page, which can be a better experience on mobile devices. Choose whichever fits your workflow.

Can I customize the look of my embedded forum?

Yes. Website Toolbox provides a theme editor with a variety of themes you can choose from to match your Morweb site's design. You can customize colors, fonts, layout settings, and more to create a seamless look.

Can I make the forum private or members-only?

Absolutely. You can restrict forum access to logged-in users, create invite-only communities, or charge for access with subscription plans. Morweb already manages member accounts for your organization, and Website Toolbox offers custom SSO integration to connect them so your members can use a single login for both your website and your forum.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Morweb's Live Editor uses drag-and-drop widgets, and the Embed widget accepts pasted code with no programming required. You just copy the embed code from Website Toolbox and paste it into the widget.

Will the forum work on mobile devices?

Yes. Website Toolbox forums are fully responsive and work great on phones, tablets, and desktops. If you embed the forum, the iframe adapts to the container size automatically. Website Toolbox also offers a mobile app so your members can participate from their phones.
