Christina C.: Hi, I'm Christina. I'm a nutritionist and I give MemberPress a five out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. I chose MemberPress because I have a WordPress website and I wanted a membership and course plugin that would blend seamlessly into my website and that would be very effective. I looked at other options, external subscription options, and they were just too expensive and ultimately I didn't have control over the content, so I chose MemberPress and I'm very glad I did. I chose MemberPress because there are very robust features that come with the product. It's very affordable price point. There's also a lot of support, so setting up the plugin and adding it to my website was so easy. I received so much support through email and also directly contacting their support team. That was wonderful. It allowed me to set up my course and my membership up without a hitch, so really grateful. Setting up MemberPress was easy. As soon as I purchased the plugin, I received a series of emails with step-by-step instructions telling me exactly how to install a plugin, how to adjust the settings, and then how to format and customize it so that it matched my websites, CSS and HTML. For anyone looking to install MemberPress, please know that you need to be knowledgeable when it comes to WordPress and using the backend. Installing the plugin is easy, but setting it up so that it seamlessly meshes with your website, can be a bit tricky. So either you need to have robust knowledge when it comes to working with WordPress, or you need to have a great developer who can easily install the plugin and set it up. Once it's set up, adding the content and also getting the payment gateway set up, is fairly easy.
