Custom systems

Member portals, online payments and association software for associations and manufacturers.

When a website is not enough, we build the system behind it. Your members or customers sign in, pay, register and find what they need, and your staff runs it without working around a packaged product.

What we build

Systems we build and support

Member and customer portals

A sign-in area where people renew, update their details, register for events, download certificates and see their history. For a manufacturer, the same idea becomes a dealer or customer portal with order history, documents and price sheets behind a sign-in.

Online payments

Card payment for memberships, event tickets, sponsorships, job postings and products, with receipts sent automatically and a clear record for your bookkeeper.

Association management software

Membership, renewals and reminders, events, continuing education credits, a job board, member email and staff tools in one system your staff can run. We run our own association work on it every day.

Online stores

A store for products, samples or literature, built to order around how you sell and ship.

Directories and databases

Searchable listings of members, products, projects or dealers, kept current by the people listed in them.

Built and used

Our association software runs a professional association every day.

The same system we offer handles sign-in, renewals and reminders, event registration without an account, continuing education credits, a job board, firm plans and membership certificates. Real staff and real members have tested every screen.

That is the difference between buying from us and buying from a software company. When something needs to change, you talk to the team that runs the work and wrote the code.

Questions and answers

Questions about custom systems

Why custom instead of an off-the-shelf system?

Packaged systems make your staff and members work around what the software cannot do. We build around your dues, your events and your rules, and the same team that built it makes the changes you ask for.

Who owns the data?

You do. Your organization owns its domain, its member and customer data and its records. If you ever leave, we export everything in standard formats and help with the move.

How is it priced?

One fixed price for the build, agreed after a scoping call, then a flat monthly fee for hosting, security, updates and support. No hourly billing.

Is it secure?

Sign-in uses one-time codes sent by email, card payments are handled by the payment processor so card numbers never touch our servers, data is backed up nightly, and we review the code for security before each release.
