Custom membership websites

Engage your community online with a membership website tailored to your organisation.

Website design and development done the right way

A membership website gives your community a way to sign up, subscribe, or support your cause online. You can offer exclusive content, discounts, or tiered access depending on the type of membership you’d like to run. If desired, members can also manage their own public profiles—keeping their details up to date without extra admin for your team. Whether you’re a professional association, content creator, or education provider, a membership site makes it simple to engage your community, share resources, and grow sustainably.

Who it’s for:

  • Professional associations
  • Community or sports associations
  • Content creators
  • Online training providers
  • Blogs or news outlets offering gated content

The process

Great websites come from a solid process. We’ll guide you through our proven five-step workflow so your site not only looks amazing but works for your audience.

Most membership website builds are delivered within 8-12 weeks, though timelines can shift depending on features, content, and your deadline.

Discovery and briefing

We’ll step you through a discovery process to understand how your goals, audience, and vision shape the strategy behind your new build. This culminates in a briefing document, to lock in the key details and information architecture.

Design phase

We design a high-resolution mockup of your site’s key pages and templates. Think of it a bit like an architect’s drawings. This is the time to drop in any design related feedback, and make sure we’re all set on the overall look and feel.

Build phase

Once the design is signed off, we start laying the proverbial bricks. We’ll turn the design mockups into a real life WordPress site which you’ll get to preview on our test server. This is usually when the final content will be added.

Testing and launch

After testing, and when you’re ready, we flick the switch and your site is live for the world to see! We normally recommend a 7-day ‘soft launch’ for key stakeholders to review the site before you advertise it.

Handover and support

First, we’ll make sure you’re well briefed on how to use the WordPress back-end. If you choose a website care plan, we’ll be available whenever you need for technical support, as well as general help with keeping your site up to date.

Got Questions?

A full-service website project can be a big undertaking, and understandably you might have questions. Here are some of the most common ones — if you need to know anything else, feel free to book a free 15-minute clarity call and we can chat further:

How much does a membership website cost?

Prices start from $8,500, depending on the scale of the site and the features you want available to your members.

How long does it take?

Typically 8–12 weeks, depending on the size of the site and the complexity of the membership setup.

What membership platform do you use?

We have expertise with a few different platforms, but depending on your needs:

  • Memberful is great for gated content platforms and larger membership bases.
  • Paid Member Subscriptions and Profile Builder Pro by Cozmoslabs are perfect for empowering members to manage public profiles.

We are also willing to work with other platforms if you have a strong preference.

Can I update the site myself?

Absolutely. Like all our WordPress builds, you’ll have full control over content and layout, with support available if you want it. Our partner platforms give you full visibility over your members, and the analytics you need to grow your supporter base.

Do you write the website content or do I need to provide this?

We’ll build your website complete with ‘recommended’ copy. You’re welcome to use, tweak, or completely replace this as you see fit. If precise, on-brand copy is mission critical let us know and we can engage the services of a professional copywriter to nail this for you.

Do you offer support after the site is launched?

Yes. Membership website builds come with 12 months of free hosting and maintenance on the recommended care plan. You’ll need to provide frontline support to your members, but we’re here to assist you if you get stuck.
