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.
One login for everything
Members sign in to your own website, not a disconnected third-party portal.
You set the rules
Free registration, paid subscriptions or invitation only: you choose how people get in.
Multiple tiers if you need them
Different groups of members can see different content, all managed from one CMS.
No developer needed
Add, remove and manage members yourself once your area is set up.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Everything you need to run a members area
Password-protected pages
Restrict any page or section of your website so it is only visible to registered members, while the rest of your site stays fully public.
Flexible registration
Choose how people become a member: open self-registration, an approval step you control, or invitation only for a private group.
Tiered access
Set up more than one membership level, so different groups of members can see different content depending on what they have signed up for.
Member dashboard
Give members their own account area to log in, manage their details and pick up where they left off with the content available to them.
Paid subscriptions
Charge for access on a one-off or recurring basis, with payment collected securely and access granted automatically once a member has paid.
Subscriber list building
Every registration captures a genuine, engaged contact, giving you a growing list of people who have actively chosen to hear from you.
Secure logins
Member accounts and password protection are handled securely as part of your website, with no separate system to manage or keep patched.
Manage members yourself
Add, remove or move members between tiers directly from your CMS, without needing a developer for routine account management.
WHAT IS IT USED FOR
Common uses for a members area
Membership is used for everything from gating premium content and online courses to running employee portals and partner dashboards.

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.
