I know being a WordPress website developer can be rough. Here’s how MemberPress can make your life easier and help you make more money!
As a developer, it sometimes feels like you’re expected to perform miracles if you want to stay in business.
And these days, more and more of those miracles include some elearning or membership site element.
That’s why every successful WordPress developer is in constant pursuit of new and better tools for the toolbox.
When it comes to creating stellar membership and elearning sites, MemberPress is The Tool of the trade – exactly what you need to wow your clients and grow your business.
Really, you can think of MemberPress as a silent partner that enhances every aspect of your WordPress development journey!
WordPress & MemberPress: A Powerhouse Combo for Developers
If you’re trying to create client sites with online website builders or other SaaS-based tools, you’ll quickly run into limitations that can prevent you from delivering for your clients.
If you’re trying to develop websites from scratch, you’ll probably blow your deadline and budget…
and you’ll wind up stuck with a site you have to maintain forever.
A Way Better Option
Self-hosted WordPress gives website developers a third option that’s the best of both worlds – the flexibility of an SaaS combined with the power of a custom solution.
And all without reinventing the wheel.
That’s why most website developers have shifted focused to self-hosted WordPress Development.
At this point WordPress powers over 45.8% of all websites. It's everywhere, because developers all over the world love its unmatched flexibility and vast selection of advanced plugins.
Leveraging WordPress and its plugins allows you to deliver a superior product to your clients, in less time.
Among the tens of thousands of plugins out there, MemberPress is arguably the most important – that is, if you want to grow your business.
Why?
Because MemberPress gives you a potent solution to some of the most significant problems WordPress developers face.
I, along with all the other developers here, understand the intricacies and challenges of web development.
We’ve all done client work.
We’ve built membership sites for clients.
We know what you’re up against!
That understanding of web development is what fuels our commitment to making sure MemberPress is the most developer-friendly membership plugin in existence.
We work hard to make it the most useful, robust, and reliable tool in your developer toolbox. MemberPress is built to simplify complex tasks, so you can focus on what you do best – creating stunning websites.
Meeting High Client Expectations: The MemberPress Advantage
At this point in your career you’ve probably figured out something unexpected:
The role of a WordPress developer is half technical and half therapist.
No but seriously, you're often the bridge between a client's vision and the digital representation of that vision – the website. And most of the time the client doesn’t even fully know what they want!
Clients often have high expectations for visually appealing sites with engaging, relevant content. Add to this the pressing demand for unique, custom features, and you can find yourself feeling overwhelmed.
In these situations, MemberPress really shines.
With the platform's commanding features, you can set up clients faster and offer them more advanced functions – all while staying on budget and not blowing your deadlines.
And you're still able to ensure superior user experience for your clients' customers.
The end result?
Happy clients, revenue-boosting reputation, and more money in your pocket!
MemberPress’ Speedy Setup and Unmatched Flexibility
Speed and flexibility are the main cornerstones of MemberPress.
We designed (and continue to develop) it with a deep understanding of developers' needs.
That focus results in a tool that significantly reduces the time and effort required to set up a supreme membership site.
Super-Fast Onboarding
With MemberPress, you're through the first wave of setup in 5 minutes or less.
Seriously.
Right after you install and activate the MemberPress plugin in WordPress, our Quick Start Onboarding Wizard helps you hit the ground running.
You can…
- Activate your license without copy/paste
- Enable important features (even auto-install required add-ons)
- Set up payments with our blazing-fast Stripe Connect onboarding (no copying and pasting keys anymore!)
- Set up some initial membership content
- Even set up paywalls for that content
All in under 5 minutes.
Quick Setup with ReadyLaunch™
Once you’ve done a bit more configuration with your clients’ membership levels and groups (upgrade paths), you can get rolling with MemberPress ReadyLaunch™ templates.
ReadyLaunch™ templates instantly create all the required membership and LMS specific pages for you.
And the feature is enabled by default on new installs.
So all you need is your client’s brand colors and logo. With those two things in hand, you can have their site…
- Login
- Account Dashboard
- Pricing Page (including a price grid for memberships)
- Course Listing
- Courses
- Lessons, and
- Checkout Pages
…all set up and ready to sell on day one.
Easy to Use, Advanced Customization
What if your client needs are just a bit more complex? For example, maybe they want to collect more data in the signup.
No problem!
MemberPress has a fully customizable form creator that even works with ReadyLaunch™.
Or maybe your client doesn’t want to use ReadyLauch™ on some or all of their membership pages. That's fine too.
MemberPress provides a full set of shortcodes and Gutenberg Blocks you can use to tailor websites to the moon. That means every site you set up is perfectly aligned with your clients' brand identity, objectives, and vision.
Extending MemberPress with No Code!
There are a lot of ways you’ll be able to extend the functionality of MemberPress without writing a single line of code! This is all thanks to the increasing number of integrations and customization tools available for use with MemberPress. Here are just a few of the fantastic No Code options available to you as a Developer when you use MemberPress:
Seamless Integrations
MemberPress's versatility is further amplified by its vast range of integrations. MemberPress is a mature product that integrates with an ever-growing list of popular services like MailChimp, PayPal, Stripe, Open.ai and Active Campaign, to name a few. These integrations allow you to provide a host of features to your clients, from easy payment processing to effective email marketing.
You can browse or search our impressive set of available integrations here.
Uncanny Automator
What if your Client gives you a requirement to integrate with a service that we don’t have a supported integration for? This is where the amazing Uncanny Automator plugin for WordPress comes into play!
Uncanny Automator is a WordPress plugin that integrates with hundreds of other plugins and services. It can even help with more in-depth or custom integrations if one of our official integrations doesn’t cut it for a requirement.
And the best part is that many types of these integrations can be accomplished with even the free version of Uncanny Automator.
Full Zapier Integration
And when all else fails in the Integration department, MemberPress offers full integration with Zapier (if you look at the MemberPress Zapier integration, you’ll see, it’s really comprehensive, it’s probably the most comprehensive I’ve ever seen).
If you haven’t heard, Zapier is a web-based service that allows you to automate tasks between online apps. This integration unlocks connectivity with 4000+ other services and plugins, opening a world of possibilities for your Client’s website's functionality and user experience.
Extending MemberPress with Code
Look, sometimes developers just need to write some code, that’s probably why Clients think they’re paying you after all (all the no-code options above will be our little secret, shhhhh). Well, even when you need to roll up your sleeves and take on some code, you can rest assured that you won’t run into any roadblocks with your memberships when you’re working with MemberPress!
Open Source Code
Okay, I know that most WordPress plugins are Open Source but this is a fact that should not be taken lightly. If you were trying to develop a Client site with a SaaS product (which I know some of you have tried to do) this wouldn’t even be in the realm of possibilities.
Think of it, if you’re not sure how a certain hook works? Look at the code. Not sure why an error message is being displayed? Look at the code. A new hook isn’t documented yet (this rarely happens but sometimes I guess it could)? Look at the code.
This alone is reason enough to choose a WordPress based MemberPress membership site over a closed-source SaaS solution.
Thorough Internal API
The ability to extend functionality forms a crucial part of any plugin. MemberPress's internal API is a treasure trove for those looking to broaden their website's capabilities and extend memberpress infinitely.
MemberPress offers a comprehensive set of actions and filters, all well-documented and regularly updated. This means you can stay on top of new features and enhancements, ensuring your websites remain modern and user-friendly.
Extensive REST API & Webhooks
For developers seeking to create truly unique websites, MemberPress's Developer Tools offer the ultimate flexibility. These tools are extensively documented here and directly within the WordPress admin, giving you fine-grained control of endpoints and webhooks.
These Developer Tools allow you to fire off any number of webhooks you want, triggering actions based on user activity. Whether it's sending a webhook to another website when a user signs up, when someone completes a course, a coupon is used, a transaction is refunded, and much more, you have the power to create a truly interactive and responsive website.
Bonus: WPCode Snippets
Once you get moving with MemberPress, you can build up your own library of code snippets that you can use across all of your client sites using the amazing WPCode plugin!
WPCode even has an official MemberPress integration that will allow you to run these snippets in a variety of locations and when certain events trigger!
If you haven’t played around with WPCode, it should be in your developer’s toolbox whether you use MemberPress or not. It’s amazing.
