Thinking about building a membership site with WordPress? Before you dive in, it’s important to plan carefully to make sure you create a great experience for both you and your members.
📌 In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ Defining the purpose of your membership site — education, community, resource library, etc.
✅ How and where your content is delivered — drip-fed, all-at-once access, tiered access.
✅ Managing expiring vs evergreen content and what that means for your members.
✅ How to handle payment systems — one-off fees, subscriptions, recurring billing.
✅ What to consider if you use an external membership platform — and how to ensure information is properly updated between WordPress and that system.
Building a membership site is more than just adding a plugin — it’s about planning the flow, engagement, and user experience from the start.
