Website Sorted Members Area

OPTIONAL ADD-ON

Membership Area

Gate content for members, partners or staff without a separate platform. Available as an optional add-on with any package, a membership area sits inside your existing website, with logins, tiers and subscriptions handled through the same CMS you already use.

WHY IT MATTERS

Some content should not be public. Now it does not have to be.

Not every website needs a members area, but for the ones that do, it is often the whole reason the site exists: a course, a resource library, a private client portal or an internal staff hub. Bolting that onto a separate platform means a second login, a different design and a disconnected experience for the people you most want to look after.


A membership area built into your website solves this properly. Access is controlled page by page or section by section, registration can be free, paid or invitation only, and members log in to something that looks and feels exactly like the rest of your site, because it is the rest of your site.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR

PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE

Membership lives inside your CMS

Membership is one part of the wider content management system that powers your whole website. It shares the same editor, the same media library and the same login as every other page you manage.

FAQS

Common questions about membership

If your question is not answered below, get in touch and we will be happy to explain how membership could work for your website.

  • Is the membership area included as standard?

    No. Membership is available as a paid add-on with any of our website packages, or included in a dedicated Membership Website build. Let us know if you would like it added to a new or existing site.

  • Can I have free and paid membership on the same site?

    Yes. You can set up multiple membership tiers, with some offered free and others requiring payment, each showing a different level of gated content.

  • Do I need technical knowledge to manage members?

    No. Members are added, removed and managed through your CMS using a straightforward interface. We handle the initial setup and show you how to manage it yourself.

  • How do members sign up?

    You choose the registration method: visitors can register themselves, register and wait for your approval, or only be added by invitation for a fully private area.

  • Can I gate just one page, or my whole website?

    Either. You can password-protect a single page, a whole section, or almost all of your site while keeping a handful of pages public.

  • Does membership work alongside my existing website design?

    Yes. The membership area is built into your existing CMS and design, so gated content looks and feels exactly like the rest of your website, with no separate platform to log in to.
