Recurring revenue, built into your website Turn Visitors into [ice]Members[/ice]
A membership site gives your most loyal people a reason to log in and come back: exclusive content, member pricing, directories, renewals and a sense of belonging. For you, it means recurring revenue and far less time chasing renewals by email.
We build membership and subscription features into WordPress websites, from simple “members only” pages to full portals with tiered levels, automatic renewals, member directories and gated downloads. Professional societies, horticultural clubs, fitness studios and subscription boxes all use the same building blocks, arranged to fit how you work.
Membership models we build
- Professional societies & associations
- Clubs & community groups
- Fitness & wellness studios
- Online courses & resources
- Subscription boxes & products
- Donor & supporter circles
- Paid newsletters

Membership websitesMembership and Subscription Websites That [ice]Run Themselves[/ice]
Managing members by spreadsheet and cheque takes hours. A membership website automates sign-ups, payments, renewals and access to member-only content, so your volunteers and staff can focus on serving members instead of chasing dues.
We build membership and subscription websites for professional associations, clubs, non-profits, research networks, online courses and businesses selling subscriptions. Members can join online, pay securely, update their profiles and access resources, while administrators get clear reports and tools to manage everything.

Questions we hear a lot Memberships & Subscriptions [ice]FAQs[/ice]
Can members pay their dues online?
Yes. We set up online payments with recurring billing where it fits, plus invoices or manual payment options for organizations that still accept cheques. Membership features are an add-on best suited to our Arctic and Cryo website packages.
Can different members see different content?
Absolutely. Pages, downloads, forums and even individual sections of a page can be restricted by membership level, so each tier gets exactly what it paid for.
Can we import our existing member list?
In most cases, yes. We can import members from a spreadsheet so they don’t have to sign up again, and send them a friendly invitation to set their password.
Who handles renewals and failed payments?
The system does most of the work, sending reminders before renewals and notices if a card fails. You’ll get reports so you can follow up personally with anyone who slips through.
Can members update their own profiles?
Yes. Members can log in to update contact details, profiles and preferences.
Can we have a member directory?
Yes. Directories can be public, members-only or searchable by location or specialty.
Can we send renewal reminders automatically?
Yes. Automatic reminders can be sent before memberships expire.
Can we sell subscriptions to products or content?
Yes. We set up recurring subscriptions for products, services and digital content.
Is member data secure?
We use secure hosting, encrypted connections and reputable payment processors, and limit admin access to those who need it.
Can members register for events?
Yes. Events can offer member pricing and restrict registration to active members.
Can we export member data?
Yes. Administrators can export member lists for reporting and mailings.
Can the website be bilingual?
