Sound Familiar?

The Current Reality

Most organizations are drowning in scattered systems, juggling tools, and struggling without a strategic partner.

Scattered Systems

Spreadsheets in Google Drive. Events in one tool. Payments in another. Member data everywhere.

Website Nightmares

WordPress updates, security patches, plugin conflicts. Everyone's afraid to touch it.

No Strategic Partner

Vendors who build and run. Emergency calls. Hourly invoices for tiny changes.

"Just use Squarespace" isn't the answer

Monolith SaaS platforms promise simplicity, but deliver lock-in. Your data lives on their servers. Your designs use their templates. Need help? Good luck reaching a human.

Data hostage Generic templates No real support Vendor lock-in

6+ scattered tools become a focused stack.

MembersOnly as the operational hub. Google Drive for documents. Stripe for finances.

One dashboard. Clear sources of truth. Less admin, more mission.

Already have a website? Headache-Free Migration.

Migrations don't have to mean starting over. We preserve your enrichment layer β€” the historical data, content archives, and institutional memory that's usually lost between site transitions.

From the Founder
"

I built MembersOnly because I saw the same pattern over and over: organizations doing meaningful work, drowning in admin. Paying for 6 tools that don't talk to each other. Afraid to touch their own website.

After 20+ years building, supporting, and maintaining websites β€” from MySpace pages to enterprise platforms β€” I realized the problem isn't the websites. It's the model.

Support, Not Maintain

One integrated platform means I can focus on helping you succeed β€” not fixing things. Proactive features. Strategic partnership. Your success is my success.

A Different Kind of Relationship

Partner, Not Vendor

MembersOnly is my investment in the organizations I believe in.

The Old Model

Traditional Web Development

  • Build a website, hand over the keys
  • Bill hourly for every little change
  • Emergency calls when things break
  • Transactional relationship
  • My time = maintenance

The MembersOnly Model

Founding Partner Relationship

  • Platform grows with your organization
  • Support included, not invoiced
  • Proactive features, not reactive fixes
  • Strategic partner relationship
  • My time = helping realize your vision

What "Partner" Really Means

When I partner with an organization, I'm not just building their website. I'm investing my skills, my time, and my platform in their success. MembersOnly frees me up to engage strategicallyβ€”to help with vision, growth, and impactβ€”not just keep the lights on.

Strategic Input

Help shape digital strategy, not just execute tickets

Growth Focus

Energy goes to expansion, not maintenance

Long-term Thinking

Building something sustainable together

Taking Control Back

Big SaaS platforms hold your data hostage. They don't answer emails. They don't care about your mission.

By partnering with multiple mission-driven organizations, we build the bandwidth to create something better: platforms you actually own, data you control, and a partner who answers when you call.

What You Get

Everything to Run Your Organization

Not a feature checklist β€” a complete operational platform that actually works together.

Member Management

Profiles, membership levels, renewal tracking, engagement scoring. Know your members.

Events & RSVPs

Beautiful calendar, one-click RSVPs, automatic reminders. Bring your community together.

Payments & Store

Memberships, donations, merchandise β€” all through Stripe. Your money, your account.

Communications

Email broadcasts, newsletters, targeted messaging. Keep everyone informed.

One Unified Platform

Everything connected. Nothing scattered.

Who It's For

Built for Organizations Like Yours

Clubs, associations, neighborhoods, nonprofits β€” organizations doing meaningful work.

Founders Stage β€” What It Means

You're Not Just a Customer

Founding partners help shape MembersOnly's future. As the platform grows with new organizations, new features benefit everyone.

Direct Communication

No support tickets. Real conversations. Direct access to the founder.

Shape the Roadmap

Your needs influence what gets built. Early partner pricing locked in.

Selective Partnerships

I only partner with organizations I believe in and can truly serve.

This isn't a free trial pitch. It's an invitation to partner. If you're an organization doing meaningful work and tired of juggling tools, let's talk about whether MembersOnly is the right fit.

Let's Have a Conversation

Not a sales call. A real conversation about your organization, your challenges, and whether MembersOnly is the right fit.

If we're not the right fit, I'll tell you β€” and probably point you in the right direction.

30 Minutes

Quick discovery call to understand your org

No Pressure

Honest conversation, no hard sell

Fit Matters

I only take on orgs I can truly help
