Sample association platform — everything ClubExpress does, rebuilt on your brand. Explore the demo below.
The modern member platform

Everything your association runs on — beautiful, mobile, and truly yours.

Member sign-ups, dues, events, directory, chapters, mass email, and a board admin center — custom-built on your brand. Same tools as ClubExpress, without the shared template, the per-member pricing, or the transaction cut.

Nothing you had to give up

If ClubExpress does it, this does it — just modern, mobile, and on your brand.

Member database

Full records, custom fields, member types, statuses & history.

Join & renewals

Online sign-up, auto-renewal reminders, expiration cycles.

Dues & payments

Your own Stripe — no per-transaction cut taken by us.

Events & registration

Calendar, paid/free registration, tickets, CE tracking.

Member directory

Searchable, members-only, with privacy controls.

Mass email

Mobile-first

Members do it all from a phone — the way they actually will.

More than a platform — a community.

Your members don’t just renew online — they connect, show up, and stay, because it finally feels like it belongs to them.
