Your neighbourhood. Nobody else's.

WelcomeMat is a private app for a single neighbourhood. Every member is verified at their home address, so there are no strangers, no scams, and no spam. A local director actually runs it. Not a group. Not a forum. A place that belongs to your community.

Bring it to your community See how it works

Private and invitation-free: your address is the key. No outsiders, no bots, no sales spam.

How it works

Three things happen, and then it runs itself.

We assign a director

A licensed local director takes on your community. One person, accountable, reachable by every resident. Not a moderation queue and not a support address.

Residents join at their address

Households are already mapped. A resident claims their own address and is in — no invite codes, no approval backlog, and nobody from outside the neighbourhood can get in behind them.

The community starts using it

Posts, replies, clubs, and a resident directory people can opt out of. The director keeps it healthy day to day.

For communities

What makes it different from what you're using now.

Most neighbourhoods are held together by a Facebook group nobody wants to run and a management portal nobody opens.

Private, so no scams and no spam

Nobody outside the neighbourhood can join, read, or post. Scammers, bots and drive-by advertisers never get past the front door, and a real director removes anything that does not belong.

A real person runs it

Your director is a named local business owner with their email published to the community. When something goes wrong, there is someone to contact who can actually fix it.

Verified by address

Membership follows the household. People who move in are welcomed; people who don't live there cannot see in.

Privacy that holds

Residents can keep themselves out of the directory, and that choice is enforced by the app rather than promised by it.

For prospective directors

Run WelcomeMat in a community near you.

We license one director per community. You own the relationships and the day-to-day. We provide the app, the community, and the agreement behind it.

Autonomy. Inside your community the decisions are yours.

A business of your own. Under licence, in a community you know.

Support, not oversight. A sales leadership team you can call.

Room to grow. Bring on your own staff as the community grows.

Request a first look

We keep the detail for a conversation. If it sounds like a fit, ask and we'll walk you through the numbers.
