Sample: WordPress Membership & Content Platform — hero image

Project Overview

Client Background

A content publisher in the education space wanting to offer part of their content library as a paid membership.

Business Goals

A membership site with gated content, without losing the simplicity of WordPress for the content team.

Project Scope

Custom WordPress theme and plugin work for membership tiers, gated content, and a member dashboard.

The Challenge

The content team needed to keep publishing easily in WordPress, but standard membership plugins didn't match their specific tiering and content-access rules.

The Solution

We built a custom plugin on top of WordPress to handle membership tiers and content gating, integrated with a member dashboard, while keeping the familiar WordPress editor for the content team.
