Membership websites and how to monetize your content.
One of our most popular products in the past 12 months has been the membership website.

These are websites where visitors have the option to pay for access to exclusive content, either via a one-off payment or a recurring subscription.
We developed a simple, cost-effective method of creating these websites using the WordPress platform, which allowed us to deliver diverse solutions to a wide range of clients, including a car owners’ club, a professional counsellor, an IELTS course tutor, a refugee support centre, an international business coach, along with a myriad of other projects.
How It Works
If you have a great website, full of interesting content that you’ve spent many hours/day/weeks researching and creating, it’s only natural to want to protect your work. Furthermore, it may have a value that visitors are prepared to pay for.
A membership website will help you manage and track membership subscriptions and sell digital download products. In addition, you can manage your members’ access to posts, pages, videos, categories, tags, feeds, communities, digital files, and more based on what membership plan(s) they belong to.
Membership websites can be easily integrated with third party services including content management, forums, and social communities, along with most popular payment gateways. They can be fully integrated into any existing WordPress website too, avoiding the need for any costly rebuild or redesign work.
