In order to set up your membership site, you will want to evaluate the different
membership scripts available on the market and choose the one that will offer you the most flexibility.
Membership scripts are an important part of a successful subscription site because they handle everything from payment processing, to ensuring that your content is delivered on time, based on your programs schedule.

Membership scripts also make it easier for you to effectively manage and update your website, as most professional membership scripts come bundled with everything from
user management tools, to powerful administration options that help you to keep your
membership site up and running efficiently.
You want the membership script that powers your website to be flexible, scalable and
able to handle a large amount of data. That way, you don't have to worry about any
problems later on, when your membership site grows.
Depending on the membership script you choose, many of the most feature laden
scripts on the market not only power your membership website, but actually come
bundled with CSS based templates, so that you can easily edit the header and footer
files and upload a feature-rich website in just minutes.
Before you choose a membership script for your website, you need to identify what kind of offers you plan to implement into your community program, so that you can purchase the right membership script to get the job done.
For example, certain membership scripts only protect user areas, but fail to provide you with the ability to offer one time offers, up-sell offers or integrate a backend system into your website.

Just the same, certain membership scripts only allow for one level membership
packages, while others provide you with the option to set up multi-level programs, so that your subscribers can upgrade their accounts to access additional areas.
Depending on how large or detailed your membership site will be, you may need
different functionality from your membership script, so spend some time evaluating the different options on the marketplace, taking advantage of any demo sites, or trial offers available, and choose the one that works best for you.

If you aren't sure how to develop or design a membership website, consider using
Wordpress as the CMS (Content Management System) to organize and manage your
entire website.
With aMember.com, you can purchase modules that will seamlessly integrate a
membership script within a Wordpress blog, forming a bridge between the main (guest)
area and the areas only visible to paying subscribers.
