How we build

Get your membership running right in 3 steps.

Most operators start the same way: a fixed-fee look at what’s already running. The other doors open from there.

From the founder

Hi, I’m Danica. On computers since I was 7, designing websites since 17. For the last 15 years I’ve done one thing: take a messy membership operation and give it a system — then stay to run it. MemBuild is that, as a team. We don’t pitch rebuilds; we look first. If the right answer is “stay put”, that’s what you’ll hear.

Ways to work with us

One thing to buy today.

The Audit. Everything else is decided after it — with you, from what we find.

01 · Strategy Audit
Start here
$1,500
two weeks · one fixed price · paid once

We spend two weeks inside your membership — the site, the payments, the emails, what your members actually see — and hand you a plain-English map of what’s working, what’s leaking, and what to do next.

Your map — the Membership Flow Blueprint, drawn for your business
A ranked fix list — what’s urgent, what can wait, what to ignore
A straight answer — fix it, rebuild it, or leave it alone
Book the Strategy Audit
not a sales call. if “stay put” is the answer, that’s what you get.
02 · After the Audit
We build it.

Rebuilds, migrations, moving you off a platform you’ve outgrown. Scoped and priced from what the Audit finds — agreed with you before anything starts.

See how we build →
03 · After the Audit
We run it.

We stay on as your tech team. You put down a deposit, we work through it by the hour, you top up when it runs low. Every hour tracked, always visible to you.

both start from your map — never from a guess.
FAQ

Questions operators ask first.

Anything else? It’s a fair question for the free “Tell us where you are” below.

What exactly happens in the Strategy Audit?+

Two weeks inside your membership — the site, the payments, the emails, what your members see — mapped as it actually runs. One fixed price, paid once. You get your map, a ranked fix list, and a straight answer: fix it, rebuild it, or leave it alone. It stands on its own: no rebuild pitch.

What do I need to give you?+

Access to what you already run — your site, your payment processor, your email tool — and one call to walk us through how things work today. During the Audit we look; we don’t change anything.

What happens after the Audit?+

You pick: we build it, we run it, or nothing. The Audit is the only thing you’ve committed to, and plenty of people take the fix list to their own developer.

What if it doesn’t work out? Is there a refund?+

The Audit is refundable in full during week one if we conclude we can’t help — our call, in writing. Build and run-it work is billed in stages, so you only ever pay for what’s done; anything unstarted comes back, minus the team time we’ve already committed to you. It’s all written down plainly on the refund policy page.

Do I have to be on WordPress?+

No. WordPress is our home turf and where most clients end up, but the Audit looks at whatever you run — Skool, Circle, Kajabi, GoHighLevel included — and we’ll tell you to stay put if that’s the right call.

I’m not live yet. Is the Audit for me?+

Not yet. The Audit is for memberships that are already running with real members and real payments. If you’re still planning, start with “Tell us where you are” — it’s free, and we’ll say honestly whether it’s too early.

Will you move me off Skool / Circle / Kajabi?+

When it’s time. Fees that climb with your member count and data that lives in someone else’s house are the usual triggers — but we only move you when the Audit says it’s worth it.

What does “we run it” actually mean?+

We stay on as your tech team. You put down a deposit, we work through it by the hour, and you top up when it runs low. Every hour is tracked and you can see it any time. The deposit size is agreed after the Audit.

I already have a developer. Does that matter?+

No — it often helps. The Audit gives them a map and a fix list they can work from, and we’re happy to hand over and step away. If you’d rather we do the work, that’s the build-it or run-it door.

Where are you, and does the time zone work?+

We’re in Cebu, Philippines, and we’ve worked with operators in the US, Australia, the UK and Europe for 15 years. We agree a shared working window on day one so you always know when we’re on.
