Membership and paywall site interface for Calder Trade Association — 2024

The challenge

A trade association ran memberships in a desktop database and emailed renewal invoices manually to more than three thousand members.

What we did

  • Built tiered membership with gated documents, events and directory listings.
  • Migrated historic member records and renewal dates without downtime.
  • Automated renewals, dunning and member self-service.
  • Gave staff a back office matching how they actually work.

The outcome

  • 3,100 members migrated with no service interruption.
  • Renewal collection automated end to end.
  • Directory and resource access managed by members themselves.

Stack

  • WordPress
  • Custom plugin
  • WooCommerce Subscriptions
