doorstep
Welcome mat's platform
A doorstep is the step or platform at a building's entrance, just outside the door.
By extension, something on your doorstep is very close or immediately accessible: The beach is right on our doorstep.
As a verb, chiefly British, to doorstep is to approach someone at their home uninvited, typically for journalism or canvassing: Reporters doorstepped her for days after the scandal broke.
