Partner With a Membership Website Implementation Specialist

For Website Designers, Developers, and Agencies

If you build WordPress or Squarespace websites for associations, nonprofits, clubs, or membership-driven organizations, you’ve likely been asked:

“Can you set up a membership system?”

It’s not as easy as installing the plugin and configuring a few settings.

There are numerous options within MembershipWorks, like creating membership levels, setting up automated renewals, handling payment gateways, building forms, preparing data migration, and training administrators. That is a different kind of work.

That’s where I come in.

I am a membership website implementation specialist who focuses specifically on MembershipWorks configuration and membership software implementation, so you can stay focused on design, website content, and SEO.

I partner with website designers across the United States to ensure MembershipWorks is implemented correctly, efficiently, and without unnecessary stress. I have checklists and systems in place to manage the membership project specifically. I can blend with your priorities and deadlines. I have helped groups as small as 12 and over 2,000 members. Nonprofits, small businesses, and trade associations. Learn more on my Membership Website Services page.

How We Can Work Together

You handle:

Website design and development

We collaborate to ensure the Squarespace or WordPress membership integration works smoothly and your client has a stress-free launch experience. I can add MembershipWorks to an existing website or partner with you when you build them a brand new website.

Why Partner with a MembershipWorks Implementation Specialist?

You Stay in Your Zone of Expertise

Membership systems are detail-heavy. As a membership website implementation specialist, I work in MembershipWorks daily and understand its nuances. I know what can be customized to solve current problems and automate processes.

Your Client Gets Expert Membership Software Implementation

Your client benefits from a structured, experienced approach to nonprofit membership website setup. Plus, I train them on how to manage it moving forward so you don’t need to worry.

Clear Scope Boundaries

I focus on implementation. You focus on the website. We respect each other’s lanes and communicate clearly throughout the project. I am very responsive and like to keep projects moving forward. I will provide a detailed checklist of what I will do and the pages and menu I will need you to create to fully integrate MembershipWorks on your client’s website.

Flexible Partnership Options

We can work together in two ways:

You hire me as a subcontractor
You refer the client to me

Either way, we always have open communication throughout the process.

I like to communicate directly with membership clients to make sure I fully understand their needs. We all share access to my MembershipWorks Launch Framework™ to manage the project. You can see exactly what’s been completed up to and after the launch.

I am available after the project to help clients directly with support, updates, and additional customization as their needs change. My training videos come in handy when there are new people in key positions like membership chairperson, treasurer and other leadership positions or staff members.

Who I Typically Work With

WordPress designers serving associations or clubs
Agencies building nonprofit websites
Developers who prefer not to specialize in membership systems
Designers who want a trusted MembershipWorks implementation partner

Below is the review I wrote about MembershipWorks and published it on their website along with a link to my video “Is MembershipWorks Right For Your Organization.”

A Developer’s Take on MembershipWorks

“As a website developer, I found MembershipWorks in 2018, learned how it works, and now that’s all I recommend to my nonprofit and association clients. To me what matters is how the system behaves behind the scenes—especially during setup, customization, and long-term management. I’ve learned how to navigate the many options and modules MembershipWorks offers.

One of the things I appreciate most is that it integrates cleanly with existing websites. This gives developers like me more control over branding and your member’s experience, which is important for associations and nonprofits that already have an established online presence. The platform is flexible, offers multiple membership levels, automated renewals, events, boards and shops. That flexibility also means the setup decisions are important. When it’s configured specifically for your organization, it dramatically reduces manual admin work and stress.

MembershipWorks isn’t a “plug-and-play in five minutes” tool, and that’s actually a good thing. It’s built for organizations that want a dependable system they can grow with, not a quick workaround. That’s why it receives such consistently positive feedback and reviews. In my experience, organizations that invest a time upfront, especially with professional implementation, end up with a smoother member experience and fewer headaches down the road. If you have questions, their knowledgeable support team is absolutely the best. They are the ones who answer the phone (no automated phone tree) and they respond quickly to email questions.

If you’re considering MembershipWorks and want help setting it up, working with a developer who understands both the technical and operational side of memberships might be just what you need for this project.”
