Start here
Welcome, rules, groups, events, links — then join.

The problem
New members should not have to reconstruct the community from chat history
Welcome posts get buried. The next fifty messages bury the one that explained how things work.
People join the wrong subgroup because nobody showed them the map.
Rules, dates and “start here” notes live in three different places.
Every new member asks an admin for a personal tour of information that should be written down.
The solution
One Start Here page, reused indefinitely
Put the welcome, the rules, the right group to join, upcoming events and useful links on one public page. Share that URL in every welcome message. The community stays on Facebook, WhatsApp, Discord or Telegram.
A simple onboarding flow
- Welcome — What this community is
- Read the rules — What is expected of members
- Choose the right group — General, buy & sell, events…
- See upcoming events — Fixtures, meetups, sessions
- Find useful links — Forms, kit, club site
- Join the community — A clear Join button
Why it helps
Built for the job, not a blank page
Lower repetitive admin questions
Most “where do I start?” messages disappear when there is a page that answers them.
Consistent onboarding
Every new member gets the same introduction, not whichever admin happened to be online.
Fewer people in the wrong subgroup
Show each group with a short description and a join button so people pick the right chat.
Less overwhelm for new members
A short sequence — welcome, rules, groups, events, links, join — beats a wall of old messages.
One link you can reuse forever
Update the page when something changes. The URL in your welcome message stays the same.

Common objections
Will this replace the welcome post?
Does this replace my group?
No. Members still talk on Facebook, WhatsApp, Discord or Telegram. The page is the written introduction.
Can multiple admins manage it?
Yes. Invite a co-admin so more than one person can keep the page current.
Is the page free?
Yes. A free forever plan is available, no credit card required.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Does this replace my Facebook Group or WhatsApp Community?

Can I include multiple group join links?
Yes. List each group with a description and its own join button so new members pick the right one.
Can I use this if the community is private?
Yes. Keep the community private. The public page only includes the introduction you choose to publish.

Is it free?
Yes. A free forever plan is available, no credit card required.
