Gated content, courses and members paying you every month. This is the largest thing in this group, because it is really several systems working together.

Your priceFrom £2,500

You get a member area with gated content, a course structure with progress tracking, recurring member payments, and email automation for signup and renewal. Each of those on its own is a piece of work.

Together they have to agree with each other constantly: somebody whose payment fails should lose access, somebody who renews should get it back, and somebody halfway through a course should not lose their progress.

It takes around four to six weeks, and it carries an ongoing support burden that does not end, which is what the monthly plan covers. Membership sites are the clearest example of software you cannot build and walk away from, because you now have people paying you every month and expecting to get in.

Who this is for

You have knowledge or content people will pay for regularly, and you want the recurring income rather than one-off sales. You are running training, a members club, or a subscription that currently lives across a payment link, a shared drive and a spreadsheet you maintain by hand. You have an audience already.

When something else fits better

If you do not have an audience yet, build that before building the machinery to serve it: an empty membership site is an expensive way to find out nobody was ready to pay. If you only need to sell a course once rather than run memberships, the WooCommerce Store Setup with a digital product may be simpler and cheaper.

Step by step.

Scope membership and coursesNeeds you

We need you to agree the membership rules, course content and what happens when a payment fails or a member renews.

Build member area

We build the member area where paying members log in to reach gated content.

Courses and gating

Courses are structured with progress tracking, and content is gated so only members with access can see it.

Member payments

Recurring payments are tied to access, with signup and renewal emails sent automatically.

Test

We check the systems agree: a failed payment removes access, a renewal restores it, and course progress is kept.

Handover

The platform goes live, and the monthly plan covers the ongoing support a site with paying members needs.

Then it's yours. Live, documented, and supported whenever you want to take it further.

Typical timescale

Around 5 weeks, once we have what we need from you. Start today and you could be live by Thursday 10 December.

Common questions

What happens when somebody stops paying?▾

Access ends according to the rules you set, and that is built in from the start rather than handled manually. Getting this right matters both ways: people who lapse should lose access, and people whose card simply expired should have a graceful route back rather than being locked out permanently.

Can members see how far through a course they are?▾

Yes, progress tracking is part of the build. It matters more than it sounds, because people who can see their progress finish more often, and people who finish renew.

What emails go out automatically?▾

Signup and renewal at minimum, agreed with you. Those are the moments where silence costs you money: somebody who joins and hears nothing wonders what they bought, and somebody whose renewal passes unremarked is more likely to cancel.

Why does this cost more than other builds?▾

Because it is several systems that have to stay in agreement: gated content, course structure, recurring payments and automated email. Any one alone is smaller. The complexity is in the connections between them, and in the fact that real people are paying every month and expect it to work.

How we make money: we charge for work, and that is all. Your ad spend, your software subscriptions and anything else bought on your behalf go on your own accounts at cost, with nothing added by us.
