About the project

Customization Site is the official resource of the Simple Machines Forum community, where tools for customizing and expanding the functionality of the popular forum management system are concentrated. The project is positioned as the main platform for those who want to change the appearance or functionality of their forum without having to write code from scratch.

The site works as a catalog of modifications (Mods) and themes. Ready-made solutions from independent developers and designers are collected here. The project's statistics speak for themselves: the database contains more than 1,300 themes and almost 2,100 mods, on which hundreds of specialists are working - 569 mod developers and 261 theme designers.

Main directions

The portal's activities are clearly divided into two key streams, each of which has its own subcategories and statistics.

• Mods. These are software add-ons that change the logic of the forum. In the Popular Mods section you can find solutions of different versions, compatible with SMF versions 1. 1, 2. 0 and 2. 1. For example, one of the top modules has received more than 120 thousand downloads, another - about 56 thousand. There are also niche tools like Enhancements to recent posts or Users Online Today Mod that add specific interface features.
• Themes. The direction is responsible for the visual part. Users can choose from a variety of options, including color schemes like MineralGem Multi Color or Brown Shades, as well as Starflight styles. Popular themes have high ratings and thousands of installations, which confirms their reliability and demand among community administrators.

Separately worth mentioning is the integration with other projects in the Simple Machines ecosystem. The site has links to TinyPortal and Hub Members Mod, which allows you to expand the functionality of the forum using third-party plugins.

Features of the site

The main feature of the resource is its focus on the community. There are no hidden paid subscriptions or closed databases. All mods and themes are available for free viewing and downloading. The site's interface supports a huge array of languages: from English and German to Chinese, Arabic and even Esperanto, making it accessible to a global audience.

The navigation structure is designed so that the user can quickly find what he needs: there are separate sections for new and recent updates, statistics on developers and tags. This helps track development trends and find fresh solutions.

An important point is compatibility. Each item in the catalog is clearly labeled with the versions it works with. This is critical for forum administrators to avoid installation conflicts. For example, some mods only work with version 2.0, others support several versions of the platform at once.
