- Stage one begins with a discovery & immersion phase where we’ll learn more about your organisation, customers, members, and other audiences. We’ll conduct user experience research to understand your audience’s needs and put them at the core of your website.
- Stage two is user experience & design, which will run in parallel. Based on the discovery work, we’ll design your new strategic and creative visual identity. We’ll develop an information architecture for the website, keeping SEO in mind, leading to wireframed designs and full visual designs.
- Stage three is development & build. We’ll make progress iteratively and hold regular project management calls to ensure the build unfolds as planned.
- In stage four, there will be your user acceptance testing, along with training and content entry. We’ll attend to the final snagging, allowing us all to ensure the new site is perfect and ready for the agreed release date.
- For stage five, we can also provide ongoing support, hosting, maintenance, security and SEO services to ensure you continue to get the help you need.The result? A high performing, effective membership site your community will love and that your business can be proud of!

FAQs
What types of membership platforms and websites do you build?
We build the majority of our clients’ membership websites in WordPress. There are many reasons for this, but one of the most important is the ease of updating and managing your website. It’s crucial that you have control of your membership site and do not need to pay for every minor tweak or edit you need to make. The functionality is straightforward and cost-effective using plugins. WordPress integrates with many platforms and plugins, from ecommerce, Learning Management Systems (LMS), booking systems, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platforms. WordPress is the world’s largest and most established website platform. This ensures the framework stays up-to-date and the systems are widely accessible for future development work. Finally, WordPress is also excellent for SEO!
How much do BrightMinded’s membership platform development services cost?
The investment required for your membership website development depends on several factors. One of the main requirements we assess is the development work’s complexity and scope, which directs the time to design and build the website. Each membership platform development project is different and tailored to your specific business needs. Why not drop us a line, and we can have an informal chat to see how we might be able to help?
What methodologies do you use in your membership website development work?
The principal methodology we use is Agile, although the approach and delivery choice may depend on your specific project needs. Taking an iterative approach to our work allows us to regularly adapt and improve the membership site development quality, ensuring the success of the final platform we deliver for you.
What happens after you finish building my membership site?
After we deliver your finished membership site, we’d love to provide you with ongoing technical support, maintenance and hosting should you need it. As we built your platform, we know our work intimately and will be best placed to help you with further development requirements. Of course, if you want to maintain the website yourself, you will have everything you need, and you can always contact us if you need any help. We value long term relationships with our wonderful clients!
