Membership based web sites can be difficult and expensive to setup and manage.\u00a0 First, you need to design the site.\u00a0 Next you need a way to manage the content.\u00a0 After that, you need a way to provide secure access to that content.\u00a0 And in most cases, it also needs to be integrated with a shopping cart and autoresponder.<\/p>\n
You may also want to add features like a blog or forum…which will require you mastering even more software…and you need to make sure that those features integrate with the rest of your site as well.<\/p>\n
If you’re experienced and skilled with software and web design, you can piece all of these features together yourself.\u00a0 There are also few “all-in-one-solutions” out there that will do everything for you.\u00a0 The problem is, they are expensive.\u00a0 One of the leading solutions, MemberGate<\/strong>, costs nearly $4,000 just to get started.<\/p>\n Recently, my friend Jennifer Haubein<\/strong> developed a solution that eliminates the need to be a web programmer or have deep pockets in order to get your membership based web site up and running.<\/p>\n It’s called WebSites2Grow<\/strong>.\u00a0 It’s an inexpensive web based system that allows you to quickly build a membership based web site…no programming or design skills needed.\u00a0 In fact, she recently did a live event on Ustream<\/strong><\/a> where she literally built a web site in an hour using the system.<\/p>\n WebSites2Grow contains all the features you need to build and operate a membership site…content management, secure user access, blogs and forums…plus it integrates seamlessly with popular shopping carts and virtually any autoresponder.\u00a0 And to top it off, everything gets built using a simple web-based interface (nothing to download or install).\u00a0 All you need is a domain to get started.<\/p>\n So if you’re looking for a solution that makes building and managing membership based web sites simple and affordable, it’s definitely something you should check out.<\/p>\n
