WELCOME BOARDS
Greet guests, visitors, and new hires by name with a split-flap welcome board in your lobby or reception. Type a name and watch it flip into place, or connect a visitor list so each arrival sees a personal message on any TV you already own.
A full-screen ambient scene that sweeps a rainbow wave diagonally across a 12x44 grid of split flaps, rendered at 60 FPS in the browser. It gives lobbies, parties, and studios a kinetic visual break between information boards, or a standalone mood display. Direction, density, speed, and loop behavior are all adjustable after forking.
A split-flap open house board that flips the property address, a bedroom count, the next showing time from today's schedule, and selling points like "new roof" and "offers due monday." Agents set it on a TV or large monitor inside the entry, where it reads as memorable signage instead of a paper flyer. Sized 10x40 for landscape screens.
A public library events board that flips the next program time from today's schedule, pulls upcoming public holidays from a live API feed, and cycles hours and visitor reminders in a ticker. Sized at 11x42 for a lobby TV near the front desk, it covers programs, closures, and holds pickup in one glance.
A school dismissal board that counts down to the next pickup wave — 2:45, 2:55, 3:05, and 3:15 — while a blue ticker tracks bus A loading, bus C waiting, and the car line, above a "keep pickup cards visible" reminder. Front offices aim it out a lobby window or at the parent loop so families know exactly when their wave is called.
A hotel lobby display that welcomes guests with the property name, live local weather, and the current time in a classic split-flap style. Beneath "the grand hotel" headline, a weather widget shows Miami conditions and a clock keeps lobby time, with check-in hours and the concierge extension in muted footer lines. It reads like the arrivals board of a grand rail terminal.
A cafe daily specials board with today's date, a rotating coffee lineup, and a pastry ticker for the screen behind the counter. Out of the box it flips through pour overs, oat lattes, and cold brew on one line and almond croissants, banana bread, and lemon tart on another, with your guest Wi-Fi in the footer. The date widget updates itself every morning.
An office lobby welcome board that greets visitors with your company name, today's date, live local weather, and the current time on a reception TV. Muted lines beneath the split-flap headline hold the guest Wi-Fi network and check-in instructions, so front-desk questions answer themselves. Built at 11 rows by 40 columns for the wide screens common behind reception desks.
A calm ambient scene that drifts weather-styled particles across a 12x44 split-flap grid in a cool palette at gentle intensity. It suits hotel lobbies, spa relaxation rooms, and waiting areas that want quiet motion rather than messaging. Style, palette, density, speed, and intensity are adjustable, and it pairs well between informational scenes.
A church service board that flips the next service time from the day's schedule, cycles group meetups like youth and choir, and scrolls announcements welcoming guests. It fits a narthex or fellowship hall TV where members pause on the way in. Fork it and enter your own service times, groups, and welcome messages.
A prayer times board that flips the next upcoming prayer from the day's five scheduled times, plus separate jumu'ah times for Friday. Built for mosque lobbies, community rooms, and homes, it includes a quiet reminder line to silence phones. Fork it and enter your community's own timetable in the two schedule widgets.
A wedding countdown board that flips the time remaining until the ceremony above a green planning progress bar and a ticker of open tasks like vows, flowers, and the playlist. Couples run it at home while planning, then venues reuse it for rehearsal dinners and engagement parties. Every date, label, and task line is editable after forking.
A campus events board that counts down to the next event, cycles today's lineup — career fair, film club, guest lecture, open lab — and flips announcements like late library hours and finals-week coffee. Student centers, libraries, and department lobbies run it as always-on signage that student workers can update in a browser without a designer or a print run.
A rideshare pickup board that rotates zone status — zone A open, zone B overflow, taxis lane 3 — beside a green six-minute wait counter and a fixed "meet drivers at the blue awning" instruction line. Hotels, arenas, and campuses hang it at the curb or exit doors so guests find their ride without a staffer repeating directions all night.
A bus arrivals board that cycles routes 12 downtown, 19 crosstown, and 42 express, counts down to the next bus, and shows live Seattle weather above an orange service-alerts ticker. Built for transit lobbies, campus shuttle stops, and apartment buildings near a stop. Alerts like "use rear doors" and "detour on pine" flip through on their own dedicated row.
A yoga studio board that shows the next flow, the room temperature, and soft rotating studio notes on an entryway screen. A next-class widget counts down through the 7am, 9:30, 12:15, and 6pm sessions, an 82°F room-temp counter warns hot-flow arrivals, and a ticker flips through mat rentals and post-class tea, above a shoes-off reminder.
A museum visitor information board showing the next guided tour, the next gallery talk, and rotating notices on a split-flap lobby screen. Tour times cycle through 10:00 to 16:00 while talks count down on their own line, and a ticker flips through notes like "east wing open" and the shop's closing time, with last admission in the footer. Visitors plan their route the moment they walk in.
A coworking space welcome board with today's date, local weather, the member Wi-Fi network, and a rotating community announcements ticker. Defaults greet members over Austin weather and flip through notes like the founder lunch at noon and Friday's demo night. Put it at the entrance so members catch events they would otherwise miss in a buried Slack channel.
A spa availability board that shows the next open appointment slot, local weather, and a rotating list of today's treatments on a lobby screen. A next-opening widget cycles through slots like 10:15 and 14:30, Palm Springs weather sits alongside, and a quiet ticker flips through deep tissue, facials, and sauna hours. Walk-ins see exactly when they can be seen.
A hotel event schedule board that lists today's functions by room with a live next-event countdown for lobby and conference-floor TVs. The layout names the grand ballroom, sky terrace, and garden room, cycles bookings like the breakfast buffet, sales summit, and wedding reception, and counts down to the next start time. Guests find their event without stopping at the desk.
A reception board that greets every visitor by name
Size the board around names, which run longer than you expect. Four to six rows with a wide name column handles a normal visitor day — one row per guest with the host or meeting room in a second column — while a single-guest VIP greeting works better as one oversized row that owns the screen. Fork a welcome template and test with your longest realistic name and company; a greeting that truncates reads worse than no greeting, so give the columns room before polishing anything else.
Decide who types the names. A front-desk person can add arrivals from the dashboard in seconds — the flaps flip the new name into place in real time, which is the moment visitors tend to photograph. For a steadier flow, point a live data widget at your visitor-management system's JSON feed and the board cycles through the day's expected guests on its own; live sources are part of the Business plan. New-hire boards work the same way from an HR list, flipping each Monday's cohort into view.
Let the board do other lobby work between arrivals with scenes. A greeting scene for 30 seconds, today's meetings for 15, and a clock-and-weather scene for 15 keep the screen alive through quiet stretches — each duration set per scene, rotating unattended. Events scale the same board up: a check-in scene cycling attendee names, then a session-schedule scene. Colors and copy stay editable on the fork, so one account can run a warm lobby board and a sharper conference version.

Can it greet multiple visitors automatically?
Yes. Connect a visitor or guest list as live data and the board cycles through names, flipping each greeting into view in turn.
How quickly can I add a name on the spot?
Edit the text and the cells flip instantly — perfect for last-minute arrivals, with no hardware or code involved.
What screens suit a reception area?
Any TV with a browser works, so a Chromecast, Fire TV, or smart TV in the lobby becomes a personalized welcome display.
What does a lobby welcome board cost?
Free to build, so you can design the greeting and match your branding before paying. Running it live on the reception TV is $8/mo on Starter for a single display, with no signage player or extra hardware to buy — the TV's browser does the work.
Can the board match our company branding?
Yes. Fork a template and set flap colors, board size, and copy to fit reception — the editor exposes all of it without code, so the greeting reads like part of the interior rather than a stock widget, and the same fork carries the look to every screen.
