Three ways to work with us
From a 2-week audit to a multi-year embedded partnership.
Every Membuild engagement starts with the audit. Whether you stay for one engagement or seven years, we lead with clarity — not estimates.
Fixed-fee 2-week engagement. We audit your stack, identify what's broken, and deliver a written Membership Operations Roadmap you own forever — whether or not you hire us next.
Best for
- Founders unsure what to fix or build next
- Operators who inherited a messy stack
- Businesses planning a migration or rebuild
- Established platforms heading into the next phase
What's included
- Full stack audit — every plugin, every integration, every automation
- Member experience review — actual walkthrough of what your users see
- Infrastructure & hosting cost analysis
- Migration recommendation with platform options and trade-offs
- Written Membership Operations Roadmap you own, regardless of what you decide next
Migration, rebuild, custom dashboard, full membership site build, or a custom-coded app when WordPress isn't the right tool. Always scoped from the audit — locked timeline, no verbal estimates.
Best for
- Established businesses ready for a platform migration
- Need a full membership site rebuild
- Need a custom dashboard built on top of WordPress
- Want a UX/UI redesign of an existing membership experience

- Team training and handoff documentation
- Post-launch support window

Before you reach out
Membuild isn't for everyone — and that's intentional.
If you're pre-launch, expecting a free quote, or don't yet have an established membership business to embed into — this isn't the right fit. The $1,500 audit is intentionally not free. Our clients pay from cash flow, not runway, and they stay for years.
Support Blocks
Four block sizes. Commit more hours, get a better hourly rate.
Support Blocks are deposit-based — you commit to a block of hours and we bill against it hourly. Bigger deposits get a better hourly rate. We track time transparently, communicate every hour spent, and we'll never burn through hours without telling you. Most clients start at Growth or Pro and move up as the partnership deepens.
Steady
$2,000+ deposit
Standard hourly rate
Light maintenance and steady improvements. For established platforms that need a reliable pair of hands month to month.
Active
Most chosen$4,000+ deposit
10% off hourly rate
Active improvements alongside operations. For businesses iterating on their membership experience with a real technical partner.
Embedded
$8,000+ deposit
15% off hourly rate
Operational depth across the full stack. For mid-to-large membership businesses where we function as the technical lead.
Fully Embedded
$12,000+ deposit
20% off hourly rate
We run the entire technical surface of your membership business. Reserved for established operations where depth and speed both matter.
Unused hours roll into your next block, capped at one block's worth. Engagements pause or end with 30 days notice. Pricing is reviewed annually and never raised mid-engagement without conversation first.
The real flow
From audit to embedded partnership — every engagement moves through the same spine.
Entry point · Always first
Strategy Audit
Fixed-fee 2-week engagement. Stack review, recommendation, written roadmap. This is the entry point for every engagement — no exceptions.
$1,500 · 2 weeks · fixed-fee
Decision
You decide whether to act on the roadmap with us, hire us for the build, take it in-house, or take it elsewhere. The audit is yours regardless.
Project Build
Scoped from the audit's findings. Locked timeline. Real execution. No scope creep because there's no room for it.
Support Block
Most clients move into a Support Block after build. We become the team running their operation — for years, not months.
