Membership / Directory Websites.

When your content's so good, it needs a bouncer.

A Membership website stores online content that only verified members can access.

This could be for business reasons, or to nurture and build a community.

A membership website is perfect for creating a customised and special experience for your members.

By setting up a range of pages behind a special "login area", you have the opportunity to house videos, text, downloads, or other content for your free or paid members.
You might use your membership site for community or business directories, associations, or recurring members-only content.

These types of sites are excellent for developing closed communities or even generating subscription revenue.

Membership website success story.

Background:
St Stephen's School needed an effective and secure Business Directory for staff and parents to help develop the community of the school.

Challenge:
The original business directory the school was using was very labour intensive, with staff needing to manually maintain and edit profiles and business listings. 

Additionally, the original business directory had poor usability, leading to a lack of signups and retention of users.

Our Result:
We built a Membership Business Directory website that addressed all frustrations of the previous flawed system. 

Designed to automate as much of the business listing process as possible, the result was an increase in traffic, signups, and time on site with positive feedback from staff and parents.

Membership sites and online courses

There is some crossover between the two, as both are based around the idea of registering for access to exclusive content.
Membership Directory Website

Membership sites are flexible

You can populate your member site with premium articles, or member-only webinars, recipes, or really anything at all. 

A membership site is like of a 'big box of interesting stuff', where an online course is a fixed curriculum.

Online courses often have a certificate upon completion.

Membership sites are ongoing

An online course, once launched, can get by on little upkeep. This is because it is a one-off fee for a set progression of content.

Membership websites are often subscription-based, so they require ongoing content to justify your members logging in and finding value.

Membership / Directory site pricing.

A membership site price is dependent on the complexity of what you're wanting to hide behind the gated content.

Hosting costs are additional.

If you have a relatively simple registration membership site, then that's very different to wanting a multimedia extravaganza with multiple tiers of paid membership subscriptions.

We've put a starting from price above based on the time and effort that goes into a standard WordPress and MemberPress setup. As with all things online, to do it right takes time and we're not in the business of shady shortcuts.
