Member platforms for associations & networks
Portal, directory, renewals and events on one member record — designed around how your members actually work, then handed over to you. Code, data and accounts, all in your name.
Fixed-fee, three-week audit. A blueprint and a price either way.
Good morning, Amara.

The short version
Most associations rent five tools and pay someone to keep them talking. You could own one.
01 — The patchwork
Website
Disagrees with the AMS
AMS
Exported every Monday
Email tool
Wrong list, again
Directory
Lists closed firms
Events
Separate login
02 — The platform
Nothing to integrate, because nothing was ever separate. Every screen reads and writes the same record.
CRM
Every organisation and person, with everything that has happened to them — dues, chapters, events and requests.

AI, built in
You can only put AI on member data you control. Because the platform is yours, its assistants and automations read the same record, follow the same permissions, and wait for a person before anything reaches members, unless you decide a step is safe to automate.
Members get answers
An assistant that answers from your own pages, with the source linked, and hands over to staff when it is unsure.
Staff ask the record
“Who has not renewed and registered for Lisbon?” in plain English, plus renewal risk flagged weeks early.
The board keeps control
Your accounts, your permissions, data never used for training, and a monthly cost cap.
Nothing reaches members without a person, unless you decide a step is safe to automate.
Search by service, region or chapter, then send a request straight from the listing. It lands on both records.
Membership and the conference pass, paid in one payment. Nobody sees lapsed after paying.
Every renewal, request and registration in one place. No Monday export, no re-typing.

The arithmetic
Website, AMS, email, directory and events together.
Assumes a $9,000 audit and $1,400 a month to run it. Subscriptions and staff costs rise 5% a year; running costs stay flat. Illustrative until an audit replaces these with your numbers.
Renting, 5 years
$228,098Owning, 5 years
$188,000The lines cross in year 4. Over five years owning costs about $40,098 less — and the association ends up owning its system.
Of today’s $41,280 a year, $12,480 is hidden in staff time.
03 — How it works
The first step is priced so a board can say yes, and it ends with a number either way.
Every tool, plugin and workaround mapped. You get a blueprint and a fixed quote — yours to keep, whoever builds it.
Member journeys, the data model and every screen designed for your association only, tested with real members first.
An open, widely used stack, a documented codebase and a written handoff. Typical range $60–200k, set by scope.
Hosting, support and improvements for a monthly fee sized to the platform. The code is yours, so you can take it in-house.
04 — Ownership
05 — Work
Platforms we own and built end to end. A fictional association built on the real stack, so you can click through it. And work described by sector, with the client’s written permission or not at all.
HollywoodCast
Designed and built end to end on Next.js and PostgreSQL on Supabase.
Built from scratch, owned outright
A two-sided casting marketplace, designed and built end to end on the same stack we use for member platforms: Next.js and PostgreSQL on Supabase. Profiles, a searchable directory, subscriptions, verification and messaging between two kinds of members.
The named builds on this site are our own: this one and Cozy Pines Press. They are evidence of capability, not association products.
Screens show sample profiles only. No real member is shown.
Built from scratch, owned outright
A small publisher of big, simple coloring books, printed and sold through Amazon. The website is a directory of the books: search and filter by category and by who it is for, and every Buy button goes to the book’s own Amazon page.
Behind it, an admin where the owner adds and edits books, categories and subscribers without touching code, and a double opt-in signup for free pages. Next.js, with PostgreSQL, sign-in and storage on Supabase.
Screens show the books listed on cozypinespress.com.
The demo build
A fictional trade network of 1,400 member firms in 38 countries, built end to end on the real stack so you can see a working platform before you commit to anything.
Directory, renewals, events, chapters, member-to-member requests and the staff view, with sample data that resets before every call.
Sample data for Northbridge Alliance, a fictional association. Any resemblance to real organizations is coincidental.

A few questions, a reply within two business days, then a blueprint and a fixed quote. Yours to keep either way.
