Membership Website Design · Portals

Membership websites you own, not rent

SimpliTechPro builds custom membership websites with tiered access, gated content, and recurring billing connected to your payment tools, a site you own outright instead of paying platform rent. The build below, Maillard, is a live concept demo you can explore.

Membership · Portal Platform

Maillard

Built as a Magnified package build Includes Admin Portal

Selling knowledge as a product needs three connected pieces: a public site that markets the membership, a gated portal that delivers it, and a back office that shows the owner what the business is doing. This demonstration build is all three, working as one platform.

The public site is a dark, appetite-forward "gastronomic luxe" design for a fictional online culinary academy, espresso black, brass gold, live-rendered curriculum with the tier locks visible. Joining runs through a test-mode checkout (the free tier skips payment entirely) and lands you in a gated member portal: a dashboard with an animated progress ring, a tier-gated course library with upgrade prompts, a lesson player that advances your progress, live-class RSVP, a member recipe vault, and a community feed.

Behind it sits the owner dashboard: monthly recurring revenue, active members, churn, a live join feed, and content management that publishes to the portal and the public curriculum instantly, plus the same Social Studio module used in our e-commerce demo, proving these systems are reusable. This is the recurring-revenue platform model, demonstrated end to end, the standard SimpliTechPro builds to for education, coaching, and community businesses across Canada.

What It Demonstrates

What the build shows

A gated member portal

Sign in (demo credentials) to a real portal: progress dashboard, course library, lessons, live classes, recipes, community, and billing.

Tier-locked content

Three membership tiers gate the course library and recipe vault, locked rows show exactly what upgrading unlocks.

A lesson player that tracks progress

Mark a lesson complete and the member's progress ring moves, the mechanics that keep members engaged.

Join flow with test-mode checkout

Tier deep-links, a card checkout in test mode, and a free tier that skips payment, the whole acquisition path, live.

An owner dashboard with MRR analytics

Recurring revenue, actives, new joins, churn, tier mix, and a live join feed, the numbers a membership owner runs on.

Content that publishes instantly

Add or edit a course in admin and the member portal and public curriculum update immediately.

Common questions

Want a membership platform you own? Ask us.

Chat with us  →
Is Maillard a real culinary academy?+
No, Maillard is fictional. This is a demonstration build by SimpliTechPro: every course, instructor, member, and payment on it is a demo running in test mode. It exists to show, live, the standard of membership platform we build.
How much does a membership website cost?+
SimpliTechPro builds custom membership websites on three plans, Simplified, Amplified, and Magnified, so the price scales with your tiers, gated content, recurring billing, and owner-dashboard depth. See current pricing →
Can you set up tiers and recurring billing?+
Yes, tiered access and recurring billing are core to the build: members join a tier, content gates to their level, and billing recurs automatically, connected to your payment tools. The Maillard demo shows tiers, a join checkout, and an owner dashboard tracking MRR.
Do I own it, unlike Kajabi?+
Yes, you own the site, the content, and the member data outright, with no per-member platform rent. Unlike renting Kajabi or a similar host, it is a custom asset you control and can extend however your community grows.
What does a membership website need to work?+
Four things, connected: a public site that sells the membership, a checkout that handles tiers and recurring billing, a gated portal that delivers content and tracks progress, and an owner dashboard that shows MRR, churn, and member activity without spreadsheets.

Explore it live. Then imagine yours.

Open the public site, sign in to the member portal, then check the owner dashboard and watch a join arrive. If this is the standard you want behind your membership, the next step is a conversation.

The demo opens in a new tab. Both the member portal and the owner dashboard sign in with the demo credentials shown on their login screens, everything runs in demo/test mode, nothing is real or charged.
