# Membership Websites in Mansfield > Chasing subscriptions by hand is one of the great time sinks of any club or association. It is also completely solvable. **Provider:** Web Design Mansfield (a dijitul company) **Location:** The Bungalow, 11 St John Street, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire NG18 1QJ **Phone:** 01623 272050 **Email:** info@web-design-mansfield.co.uk **Price:** From £495, excluding VAT **Canonical URL:** https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/membership-websites/ --- A membership website does two jobs: it takes money on a schedule without anybody chasing, and it gives members something behind a login that is worth having. The first is where the value usually is. Clubs, associations and gyms lose a genuinely surprising amount of revenue to subscriptions that lapse quietly because nobody noticed and nobody chased. The second matters for retention. If logging in gives you nothing, people stop valuing membership — so we think about what actually goes behind the door before building it. ## What you get ### Recurring payments that collect themselves Card or direct debit, renewing automatically, with failed payments retried and flagged rather than silently lost. ### Tiers and what each unlocks Different levels with different access, prices and benefits, configured so members can upgrade themselves. ### A member area worth visiting Documents, resources, fixtures, recordings, a directory, whatever your members actually want. This is what stops churn. ### Self-service accounts Members update their own details, download invoices and manage payment cards, which removes most of the administrative burden. ### Renewal reminders Automatic, at sensible intervals, with a route to renew in two clicks. ### Existing members migrated From spreadsheets or an old system, cleaned on the way in, with a straightforward route for people to set a password. ## Who this works for - Sports and social clubs, where subs collection eats volunteer time - Trade associations and professional bodies - Gyms and studios running monthly memberships - Course and training providers selling access to material - Networking groups and business clubs - Anything currently run on a spreadsheet and a standing order list ## The part people underestimate Building it is straightforward. Getting existing members to migrate is not. People forget passwords, ignore emails, and turn up expecting the old way to still work. So we plan the transition as carefully as the build: a clear announcement, a simple first login, a grace period where both routes work, and someone available to help the members who ring up. Skip that and a good system gets blamed for a bad rollout. ## What affects the price Starting price: From £495 (excluding VAT). - How many membership tiers and what each unlocks - Whether payments are one-off, recurring, or both - How much members-only content there is - Whether existing member records need migrating ## Local context — Mansfield A lot of local clubs and associations are run entirely by volunteers, and the treasurer chasing subs is frequently the least popular job in the organisation. Automating it is often the single most appreciated thing a club can do. We keep the running costs low for exactly that reason — these are usually organisations without a marketing budget, and the system has to be cheap enough that it is obviously worth it. ## Also known as membership site Mansfield, subscription website Mansfield, member portal Mansfield, club website Mansfield, online course website Mansfield. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does a membership website cost? From £495 for a straightforward single-tier setup with recurring payments. £1,200 to £2,500 for multiple tiers, substantial member content and migration of an existing membership. ### What are the ongoing costs? Hosting from £5 a month, payment processing at roughly 1.4% plus 20p per transaction, and any membership plugin licence — typically £100 to £200 a year. We lay the real total out before you commit. ### Can members pay by direct debit? Yes, via GoCardless or similar. For recurring subscriptions direct debit usually has better retention than cards, because cards expire and direct debits do not. ### What happens if someone stops paying? You set the rules — a grace period, reminder emails, then access suspended rather than deleted so they can come back. Automatic, and considerably less awkward than a volunteer having to ask. ## Related services - [Bespoke Web Development in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/bespoke-web-development/): Custom-built tools and systems for when off-the-shelf genuinely does not fit. - [Web Design in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/web-design/): Websites that load fast, rank well and turn visitors into enquiries. - [Ecommerce Web Design in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/ecommerce-web-design/): Online stores built around how your business actually operates. - [Marketing Automation in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/marketing-automation/): The follow-ups you keep meaning to do, running on their own. - [CRM Setup in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/crm-setup/): Every enquiry in one place, so nothing gets forgotten. - [Website Redesign in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/website-redesign/): Modernise what you have without losing the traffic you already earned. --- Web Design Mansfield — Mansfield’s digital agency — websites, SEO and marketing that bring in work.
