How to Create an Elementor Membership Site

Elementor is a fantastic choice for building membership sites on WordPress. You have incredible control over exactly how your WordPress membership site looks and functions. When paired with MemberSpace, you can create a flexible and affordable Elementor membership site – here’s how it works.

What is Elementor?

Elementor is a WordPress plugin that provides powerful drag-and-drop page building functionality. If you like using services like Squarespace or Wix, but want more of the functionality that comes with WordPress, Elementor can give you the best of both worlds.

There are two ways to use Elementor:

  1. If you’re comfortable managing a self-hosted WordPress website you can add Elementor to your site for free or pay just $49 per year for Elementor Pro.
  2. If you’d prefer to have someone else take care of arranging your website hosting and installing Elementor, you can pay $89 per year for this service. Elementor will set up everything so it’s ready for you to drag, drop, and add content.

Elementor also offers multi-site plans in addition to individual licenses.

Why build a membership site?

Membership sites are a really great way to monetize your content, expertise, and even time. By offering defined plans for a fixed, recurring price, you can streamline billing and offer your customers an easy way to get recurring access to your products and services. You can create an Elementor membership site for nearly anything, including:

To turn your Elementor WordPress site into a full-fledged membership business, you’ll need to add one more thing into the mix: a membership plugin.

What to look for in a membership plugin

WordPress and Elementor allow you to create websites that are nearly infinitely customizable, so a WordPress membership plugin shouldn’t restrict you. The best membership plugin:

  • Allows you complete control over how member areas look and feel
  • Doesn’t restrict you to a specific template or layout
  • Supports multiple membership levels and plans
  • Allows you to manually manage members and access
  • Includes sales tools like coupons, trials, and upselling
  • Processes one-time and recurring payments on various intervals

These features will allow you to easily grow and scale your membership business over time without the need to migrate to a new platform.
