Website & email

An address people can find, and a voice they recognise.

The app is for the people already inside your community. The website is how everyone else finds you, and email is how you reach the ones who have not opened the app this week. Both come with every community, both carry your brand rather than ours, and neither one is an add-on.

Three emails that send themselves

Write once, switch on, leave it alone

Welcome email

When someone joins

Their first hello, sent the moment they are in.

Event reminder

Hours before it starts

Goes to everyone who RSVPd. One each, whatever else happens.

We miss you

After a quiet stretch

A gentle nudge to the members who have drifted.

The website

One page that does the whole job.

Not a website you have to build, fill and then keep alive. One page, five bands long, that already knows what is coming up because it reads the same events your members do.

  1. 1

    The hero

    Your logo on your own colour, your name, and one line about who you are. Logos that would vanish on a dark brand colour get a deliberate plate behind them rather than a shrug.

  2. 2

    About

    A couple of paragraphs in your words. Not a template with your name dropped into it.

  3. 3

    What is on

    Your upcoming events, each with its date, venue and a sentence or two. It comes straight from the app, so the page is current without anyone remembering to update it.

  4. 4

    Come find your people

    The join step. It hands a prospective member to your community sign-in, which knows how to greet someone who is not a member yet.

  5. 5

    Policies and terms

    The member-facing documents: what someone agrees to by joining and by buying a ticket. Each one labelled with who wrote it, so a platform document never reads as yours.

Your address, not a profile on ours

It lives at mypeople.community/c/your-community, in your colours and your typeface. The only thing of ours on it is a quiet line in the footer.

It keeps itself current

The page refreshes every five minutes from the same events your members see in the app. There is no second copy of anything to keep in sync.

Links look finished when shared

Paste it into WhatsApp or a group chat and the preview card comes up in your brand colour with your name on it, instead of a bare grey link.

Nothing about your members, ever

No names, no photos, no counts, no attendee lists. The page is built from a public subset that simply does not contain them, so there is nothing to accidentally leave switched on.

On when you want it, off when you do not

The page is a setting. A community that would rather stay private just leaves it off, and nothing about the app changes.

Somewhere to point a payment provider

Merchant risk reviews ask to see who you are, what you sell and what your terms are. This is the page that answers them.

The email

For the people who have not opened the app.

A club secretary with an announcement is not a marketer with a design eye. The composer is built for the first one: enough formatting to write a proper note, not enough to make a mess.

01

Pick who it goes to

Everyone, one group, or the people coming to a particular event. You are told how many people that is. You are never shown a list of who they are.

02

Write it

Bold, italic, lists, links and images. The formatting on offer is deliberately small, because every extra control is another way to send something that arrives looking broken.

03

Send yourself a test

Read it in your own inbox first. Keep it as a draft if it is not right yet, or save it as a template if you will write it again next month.

04

Confirm, then it goes

The send button does not send. It asks you to confirm the subject and the exact number of people it reaches, because this is the one action in the product that cannot be taken back.

It comes from you

Your sender name and your address, on your own domain. A member reading their inbox sees your community, not a platform they have never heard of.

Login codes included

The code a member needs to get into the app arrives from the same address as everything else you send, which is exactly why it does not look like a phishing attempt.

Segments you save once

Build the audience you keep coming back to, name it, and reuse it. You get a count before you send, never a list of people.

Templates by name

Save the monthly newsletter as a template and it updates rather than piling up duplicates you then have to tell apart in a dropdown.

Members can step back

Anyone can turn off updates from the footer of any email, and turn them back on from their profile. Login codes are never affected: opting out of those would lock someone out of their own community.

Cleaned before it leaves

Whatever you paste in gets re-read against an allow-list on our side before a single message is sent, so a copy-paste out of a word processor cannot break the email.

What we need from you

A domain we can send from

Email that says it comes from your address has to be allowed to come from your address, or inboxes will quietly bin it. So there is one setup step: your sending domain gets verified with our email provider before anything goes out. It is a couple of DNS records and we walk you through it during onboarding. If you would rather not, we can send from ours instead and nothing else changes.

The rest is just answers: what your community is called, which colours are yours, who members should reach for help, and the name you want on the bottom of an email. You give us those once, and both surfaces are built from them.
