Websites for · Professional associations

A site the board can run itself.

Associations, chapters and member organisations run on volunteers, events and dues. Most of their websites run on an old WordPress install, a few plugins and a spreadsheet. We build sites where the board can post an event in minutes, members can register and pay on the same page, and check-in at the door is a phone and a QR code.

(run by the board, not a developer.)

What the website has to do

  1. 01

    A CMS volunteers actually use

    Events, announcements, sponsors, scholarships and board members, each with its own place to edit. Nothing a volunteer can break.

  2. 02

    Events, start to finish

    Every event gets a page with the details, registration and payment, then a gallery and write-up once it is over. The archive builds itself.

  3. 03

    Payments into your own account

    Members pay on the event page and the money lands in the chapter’s own PayPal or Stripe account, not a third party’s.

  4. 04

    QR check-in at the door

    Each registration sends a ticket with a QR code. Any board member can scan them from a phone.

  5. 05

    Off WordPress, without losing a page

    We move you to a modern platform and keep the old addresses working, so links from members, partners and Google don’t break.

  6. 06

    A look that matches the profession

    A design system built for the organisation, so it reads as seriously as the credential it stands for.

Questions

What professional associations ask us.

Can our volunteers update the site without a developer?
Yes. Content lives in a CMS (we used Sanity for NYSSPE) set up around how your board works: events, announcements, sponsors and people each have their own simple form. Changes go live in seconds and the layout can’t be broken.
Can members register and pay for events on the website?
Yes. Registration and payment sit on the event page itself, and the money goes straight into your organisation’s own account. Each registration can send a QR ticket for check-in.
We’re on WordPress. Will moving break our links?
No. We map the old addresses to the new pages so existing links, bookmarks and search results keep working.
Do you work with chapters and nonprofits outside New York?
Yes. We’re based in New York City and work with organisations anywhere in the US.
