Setting up your community

The community page serves as your community’s hub on Frankly. Engage new members and show what your community is about by setting your community’s name, logo, and more. Your upcoming events will be displayed here, along with administrative announcements and community member posts. You can create an event from your landing page anytime.

Customizing your community page

Click on the pencil icon in the top left corner (just below the navigation menu) to open the editing panel. From there you can specify your community’s Name, Unique URL display name, Tagline, About text, Logo, Background image, and Color Scheme.

Your Unique URL display name is what will appear at the end of the URL for your community. Your unique URL will follow this format: app.frankly.org/space/your-display-name
