Can I charge for membership?

Yes. We can set up paid membership or tiers with a payment provider. The provider and fees depend on your country — we work that out in scoping.

Can it be an app on phones, not just a website?

Yes. We build web apps and native iOS and Android apps. MeetTheMinds, for example, is on both app stores.

✦Example Scenario

A place your people come back to.

Profiles, groups, messaging and paid membership — your own community, not a feed you rent.

This is an example of what we could build with you — not a past client.

Who this is for

You have an audience or a group and want them in one place you own — not scattered across social media. You may want to charge for membership, or keep parts of it members-only.

✦The Problem Today

What gets in the way right now.

Your community lives on platforms you don't control, and the rules can change overnight.

There is no easy way to charge for membership or keep content members-only.

People can't find each other, start conversations or form groups on your terms.

✦What We Would Build

The pieces that make it work.

✓Member profiles, so people have an identity inside your community.

✓Groups or spaces, so conversations can be organised by topic or interest.

✓Messaging between members, one-to-one or in groups.

✓Paid membership or tiers, with access that matches what people pay for.

✓Posts, content or events that members can see, join or react to.

✓Tools for you to moderate, manage members and keep the community healthy.

✦How It Works With Us

A prototype first, then a fixed-price build.

Scoping Sprint

1 week · $1,500

We turn your idea into a clickable prototype, a technical plan and a fixed quote. If you build with us, the $1,500 is credited to your project.

Fixed-price build

8–12 weeks · $10,000–$15,000

We build in short steps. Every week you see a working demo. The scope and the price do not change unless you ask for something new.

Launch and handover

You own everything

We launch, document the app and hand it over. You own 100% of the code, and we agree the support you need after launch.

✦What You Provide

Three small things from you.

✓A clear idea of who your members are and why they'd join.

✓How membership works — free, paid, or tiers.

✓One decision-maker available for a weekly demo and feedback.

✦A Real Example

Close to this, and already built.

✦Questions

Questions people ask about this.

Most builds are $10,000–$15,000 at a fixed price. You get an exact quote after the Scoping Sprint. Larger feature sets can cost more, and we say so up front.

Typical stack: a web app and native mobile apps, a secure backend and database, messaging, and a payment provider for membership.
