Membership software for clubs, with the website built in.
Avistra is club management software with the website built in. Programs and a calendar, dues and renewals, a members area for the yearbook and the minutes, and email to the membership, all in the same system as the public site, whether you are a garden club, a woman's club, a historical society or a rowing club. One monthly plan, from $149 a month.
A club site that survives the next election.
A club site should keep running whoever is president, with the login in the club's hands rather than one member's inbox.
It belongs to the club
The site keeps running whoever is president. When a webmaster steps down, tell us who is taking over and we change who can sign in.
Programs and a calendar
The year's speakers, workshops, tours or regattas in a list and a calendar view, with sign-ups where you need a count. Past programs move under Previous on their own.
Membership and dues
Who can join, the dues and what they include, and one application the board can approve, with reminders before a membership runs out.
The yearbook behind a sign-in
Members sign in with a code sent to their email for the yearbook, the bylaws and the minutes, kept off the public pages.
The clubhouse, rented
For clubs with a building: the rooms, photographs, capacity and a rental inquiry form, set up so someone planning an event nearby can find it.
The history, told properly
When the club was founded, its federation, its projects and its past presidents, with the photographs to match. An old club deserves more than a paragraph.
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.
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.
One plan. Everything included.
Design, hosting, security, backups and unlimited content edits, plus the full membership platform: members, dues, events and email. One plan, $149 a month. See the plan.
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.
What clubs and societies usually ask.
We are on Wild Apricot or ClubExpress. Can you take it over?
Usually. Export the member list as a spreadsheet and it comes across through Add people, which shows you what it found before anyone is added. The pages, the program calendar and the history are rebuilt on your existing domain. Saved cards stay with the old payment system, so members pay through the new membership page at their next renewal.
Can members sign up for a luncheon or a tour and pay online?
Yes. Each program can take sign-ups with a form you describe in plain words, stop at the number of places you have, and take a card through your own Stripe account or be marked paid at the event. A program can be open to the public or to members only.
Our volunteer webmaster is stepping down. Who keeps the site current?
Whoever the club names. Unlimited content edits are included: they sign in with a code sent to their email and change the speaker or the meeting place on the page, and send anything bigger to us, usually live the same day. The member list and sign-ups stay with the site. Here is how an edit is sent.
What does it cost?
It is one plan, $149 a month with a one-time $500 setup: the custom design, hosting, security, backups and unlimited content edits, and the full membership platform on the same site, with members, dues, events, email and giving. It carries a 12-month minimum, and from 24 months the setup is discounted and can be folded into the monthly. It is never priced by how many members you have.
