Beautiful websites that run your membership.
Avistra replaces the membership software your organization runs on, and designs the website around it. Members, dues, events, email and pages in one system, on one monthly plan, $149 a month.
Your membership software and your website, in one place.
Members, dues, events, email and the pages themselves sit in the same system. One place you sign in to, one place your members go, and nothing to keep in step between them. And because every site is made for you rather than picked from a template, anything you need that is not on this list gets built in.
Members and people
Every member and contact in one record: what they joined, what they paid, what they signed up for. Membership types, organizations with seats, applications to approve, and renewal reminders that go out on their own.
Dues and payments
Take dues and registration fees through your own Stripe account. The money lands in your bank, and we add no surcharge on top of what your members pay you. Card details are entered on Stripe's own checkout and stay with Stripe, so your site never holds a card number.
Events and registration
Event pages and a calendar on your own site, sign-up forms you change in plain words, limits on numbers, members-only events, and paid tickets when you want them.
Email to your members
A drag-and-drop builder: start from a template, drag in headings, panels, buttons and pictures, and see exactly how it looks on a desktop and on a phone before it goes. Send it to everyone, to one membership type, or to a single group.
The website itself
Pages, posts, pictures and how each page shows up in search, all edited on the page you are looking at. Not a separate site bolted on to a member database. Here is how an edit is sent.
A portal for members
Members sign in with a code sent to their address, so there is no password to lose. They see their membership, renew it, read what is for members only, and find each other in the directory if you turn it on.
See it running before you call us.
The demo is a complete site for a made-up association, with members, dues, events and email already in it. Sign in with one click, make an edit, add an event, send a newsletter. It is your own private copy, nothing you do is seen by anyone else, and it resets when you leave.
Everything a well-made site needs.
Your site stays fast, secure and current without your attention. When something needs changing, you tell us and we handle it quickly.
From the first call to live.
Most organizations are live within 60 to 90 days, with their members, events and pages moved across from whatever they are running on now. If all you want is your current website rebuilt as it is, that is inside 30 days.
We get to know you
We talk it through properly: what your organization does, who it is for, how the membership and the events actually run, and what the site has to do for all of it. Brand work is part of this, so what we build is an upgrade on what you have rather than a copy of it.
We build it and move you across
You see a real draft of your site early on, in the browser, not a description of one. Your members, membership types, events and pages come across from whatever you are on now, dues and forms are set up, and we go through it with you until it is right.
We run it with you
From launch day on, your plan keeps it hosted, secure, backed up and current, and an edit you send is usually done the same day. You look after your members, and we look after the software.
One plan. Everything included.
Your website and the full membership platform behind it, with members, dues, events and email, for $149 a month. The price is the plan, never the size of your membership list.
We take care of your website and your membership. A fully custom-coded site with everything your organization runs on behind it, in the same place.
- The website — custom design, built for your organization, as many pages as it needs
- Hosting, SSL, security, backups
- Unlimited content edits (how it works)
- SEO built in
- Members — records, membership types, applications to approve, organizations with seats, renewal reminders
- Dues and payments — through your own Stripe account, straight into your bank, with card details held by Stripe and never by your site
- Events — event pages, a calendar, sign-up forms in plain words, limits on numbers, paid tickets
- Email — a drag-and-drop builder: start from a template, drag in headings, panels, buttons and pictures, see it as a desktop and a phone, then send it to everyone, one membership type or one group
- A member portal — sign-in by emailed code, members-only pages, an opt-in directory
- Forms — contact, booking, quote and intake, straight into your inbox, plus posts and page settings
The longer you commit, the less you pay.
The plan starts with a 12-month commitment and the setup paid up front. Commit for 24 months or more and the setup is discounted, up to 15% at 36 months, and you have the option to fold it into the monthly instead, with nothing due today. Folded in, the monthly returns to the plan price after the term.
12-month commitment, then month to month.
Hosting, security, backups and content edits are part of the monthly plan. Anything outside it is quoted before it costs you anything.
A large site, or a lot of history to move across, means a higher one-time setup. It is quoted before anything starts, and it never changes the monthly.
The site is plain, durable code. If you ever leave, it goes with you.
Most membership software treats the website as an afterthought.
The platforms your organization gets offered are management tools first. The database is the product, and the public site is whatever could be bolted to it, which is why so many of them look alike and are a chore to change. We start from the other end: what a member sees is the whole experience, so the site is made for you, genuinely easy to edit, and every bit as capable as the software behind it.
- Easy to change, on the page
Click the words on your own site, type the new ones, and they are live. Anything bigger comes to us and is usually done the same day. Here is how an edit is sent.
- Made to fit you
Does it need to work with something you already use? Does a form have to behave a particular way? Tell us and we build it in. Your site is written for you, so you are never waiting for a platform to add the thing you need.
- Not priced by the head
You are billed for the plan, not for how many people you keep on file. Growing your membership does not grow your bill.
- Your dues arrive whole
Payments run through your own Stripe account, straight into your bank. We take no percentage of what your members pay you.
- Card details never touch your site
A member paying is handed to Stripe's own checkout, and the card stays there. Your site stores no card numbers, and neither do we: payment security is Stripe's business, and they are built for it.
- Nothing to wait for
A real draft within days, live in 60 to 90 days with everything moved across, or inside 30 days if it is the website alone. Edits after launch are usually done the same day you send them. Here is how an edit is sent.
