The front door to your community

The invite first

Put the Discord, Slack or Circle invite at the top, highlighted, with a line on what the community is for. Under it, the newsletter with the subscribe box, and the socials row for X, Bluesky, Threads and LinkedIn.

Every click counts in your analytics, so you can see which channel brings new members.

Events that expire

Meetups, AMAs and hackathons are scheduled links to the event page, appearing on announcement day and hiding after the event. A recurring call can have a countdown to the next one. Recordings on YouTube show with the video and podcast blocks.

Members and sponsors

Paid membership? The support button points to Patreon, Ko-fi or your membership page, and built-in memberships are opening to makers in stages. Sponsors get a thank-you button with their site's icon, and their clicks are counted.
