Membership sites for SaaS and software companies.

A membership site is a business you own: the content or community behind the login, the billing relationship, and the member list itself. We build membership platforms that handle tiers, recurring payments, gated content, and member profiles without a third-party platform taking a cut or setting the rules. Working remotely from our Providence, RI studio, we scope, prototype, and build for organizations across the US and Canada. Software buyers do not read a website so much as test it. They scan the first screen for what the product does, often open pricing before features, look for a screenshot that proves the thing exists, and form a judgment about the product from how quickly the site itself behaves. A custom SaaS site is designed for that evaluation. For SaaS and software companies, membership is the product itself or a community around it: plan tiers, seat-based billing, usage limits, a customer community with premium support, and a partner or developer program with gated documentation and resources. Entitlements are checked in the app and on the site from one source.

Quick answer

A membership site for SaaS and software companies puts content, tools, or community behind a login with tiers, recurring billing, gated access, and renewals that run themselves, on a platform you own rather than rent. GEO Marketing Group builds custom membership platforms starting around $10,000, typically $18,000, working remotely from Providence, RI.

Why SaaS and software companies reach for this.

A homepage that describes instead of shows

Abstract headlines and a grid of icons leave a visitor unsure what the product actually does, and a visitor who is still guessing does not start a trial.

Pricing that hides the number

A "contact sales" button on every plan sends self-serve evaluators elsewhere for a figure and throws away one of the best qualification tools a software company has.

A site and an app that feel like two companies

When the signup button leads from a polished landing page into a product with different type, colors, and tone, the first session feels like a bait and switch.

Membership site builds start from $10,000. Every project is quoted to its scope.

FAQ

Membership site builds for SaaS and software companies: common questions.

Should I build a custom membership site or use a platform like Patreon or Kajabi?

Start on a platform if your offer is simple and you want to test demand. Build custom when the platform fee is material, when you need a member experience the platform cannot provide, or when owning the member list and the billing relationship matters to the value of your business.

How does recurring billing and renewal work?

Stripe Billing handles the subscription lifecycle: trials, monthly or annual plans, proration on upgrades, tax where required, and automatic retries with reminder emails when a card fails. Members update their own payment details from their account page.

Can I migrate existing members from another platform?

Usually, yes. We import member records and, where the old platform allows it, existing card details through a processor-to-processor migration so nobody has to re-enter payment information. Access levels are mapped to your new tiers before launch.
