Membership websites, set up by someone who has run a membership organisation.
Most web designers start with how your site looks. I start with how your membership works: how people join, pay, renew and lapse, and what your staff and board need to see. Then I build it on WordPress and MembershipWorks.
What I bring
I've done your job
For twelve years I ran the Forest School Association, first as its only employee and then as Chief Executive, while it grew from about 200 to around 2,000 members. The renewals, the lapsed members and the awkward requests all came to me.
Numbers your treasurer can use
I ran the FSA’s monthly accounts and reconciliations, so I know what a treasurer and a board need to see. I set up MembershipWorks so its dashboard shows paying members, overdue renewals and income at a glance.
A system that doesn't depend on me
I hand over the way I did at the FSA: training for your staff, a short written guide, and processes the next membership officer can pick up.
Welcome!
I was Chief Executive of the Forest School Association, which grew from about 200 to around 2,000 members, and I built the website and membership system it ran on.
Now I set up the same kind of system for other associations, societies and charities.
