Overview
Your About Page is the first thing potential members see when they visit your community. It acts as a landing page where you can communicate your community’s purpose, share details about what’s included, and provide options to purchase your community as free or paid.
Customizing this page helps align your community’s visual identity with your brand and makes it easier for visitors to join.
How to Access and Edit the About Page
Log in as an Admin or Owner.
On the left-hand menu, select About Page.
Click on the edit icon at the top to make changes.
This page shows whether your community is public or private, the number of members, allows you to set the community as paid or free, show or hide member count to your non members.
When paid is selected, it will use the default payment option that you’ve set on your Pricing Page in the Settings area.
Customization Options
1. Add Text Content
Add a Title that captures attention.
Update the Description to explain your community’s focus, benefits, and what members can expect.
You can include formatted text, bullet points, or emojis for visual appeal.
2. Set Up Membership or Pricing Options
Choose whether the About Page allows users to join for free or pay a fee to access the community.
Ensure your pricing setup is configured correctly under Settings > Pricing Page.
3. Add External Links or Resources
Include links to your website, terms of service, or help resources to give potential members more context.
4. Set Community to Private or Public
Private Community:
Opting for a private setting ensures that all posts, content, and courses remain hidden from non-logged-in users.
Public Community:
A public community allows your content to be visible to everyone, including non-members. This can be a great way to showcase your offerings, attract potential new members, and encourage engagement from a wider audience.
5. Show or hide members
This feature lets you hide the member count from users who are not logged in.
Invite and Access Options
From the same screen, you can copy the About Page link and share it manually with potential members.
Tip: The About Page serves as your main promotional and onboarding link — perfect for newsletters, social media, or direct invitations.
