Customizing KickApps

KickApps makes it quick and easy for you to get your online community looking the way you want it and integrated with your site. Once you sign up you'll be taken to the KickApps Affiliate Center where you'll create, deploy and manage your KickApps powered community.

Multiple Ways of Deploying KickApps

Multiple Levels of Customization

Use our web-based WYSI WYG console to build your site, create themes that are implemented throughout the site, tweak your site's features, fonts and colors, directly edit your header and footer HTML, or upload custom CSS and JavaScript to take full control of page appearance and layouts.

Your Community, Your Domain Name

Activate DNS Masking to make your KickApps-powered pages appear at your own URL (e.g. community.yoursite.com). Afterall, it's your brand, your site, your community. To learn more about how to do this, visit KickDeveloper .

Seamless CMS Integration

If you're using WordPress, Joomla, Drupal or another CMS, the KickApps platform makes it easy for you to build an online community around your website, including social networking, widgets and more.

Multiple Language Support

Using our pre-loaded, editable language packs you can customize all the text on your KickApps-powered pages and in e-mails to be Spanish, French, German, Italian, or Brazilian Portuguese. For a deeper customization, replace any word or phrase on your pages with your own UTF-8 text or even HTML.

The KickApps APIs

While the KickApps hosted solution will meet the needs for the majority of publishers and developers, the KickApps APIs are available for highly customized implementations that require the deepest levels of flexibility and integration with our Platform. The KickApps APIs enable you to access your community data and display it in applications, feeds, or any other programmable format. With the APIs, you can also implement single sign on and add data into your community to recreate and customize features such as media comments, ratings, and more.

If you have in-house development resources or are working with an agency, you can contact us with your requirements to discuss the KickApps APIs and the API Developer Kit. KickApps can work with you to assess the scope of the deployment and customization, and help to determine the most effective manner for delivering against the site requirements.
