How to Build a Useful Home for Your Online Community

By StonkBuilders EditorialPublished 21 Sep 2026Updated 22 Sep 20261 min read

A community homepage is a welcome sign and a map. It should help a first-time visitor understand the group, find the current update, read the rules, and decide whether to join.

Start with one sentence about who the community is for. Put the current update, join path, rules, and event calendar near the top. Keep private member information behind the appropriate account flow. A public link page can introduce those destinations; it should not expose private balances, submissions, or moderation tools.

Link by StonkBuilder’s community path is designed to connect a simple public page with a deeper community home as the product supports it.

Use a clear navigation hierarchy instead of a long list of destinations. Keep announcements dated, archive finished events, and make contact or moderation routes easy to find. Test the homepage with a new member who has no internal context; their first questions reveal whether the information architecture is doing its job.

Compare the page patterns in link-in-bio examples.
