Whats the best way to do a members area?
 

Whats the best way to do a members area that has some downloadable clips and some feeds, and some downloadable image galleries. all of that.

should you just put it all on page 1 right there and just make a long page, or cut it up into sections?

what do members like best?

A very nice CMS system that is both easy for the members to use and the admin to keep everything running smoothly.

give them multiple links on the first page. it keeps everything divided nicely into proper categories. it also makes it look like you have more than if you just put it on one page.

Hit me up. I can help you with a nice custom CMS with a great admin interface.

Thanks. So just links on the main page? like:


in the middle of the page?

add some cams ..they bring in extra $$$$ as upsells too :thumbsup

thanks, this is for a large avs im making, so I dont want to spend too much money on it.
If it grows then ill put more money into it and turn it into a paysite but for now im going the less expensive route

Single site or AVS network?

i dont know the difference. im just making it and sending traffic to it.

As in will it have one members area, or a whole slew of small independant members areas.

You need to make easy and user friendly navigation thru your members area

I agree with fungi..! u should do it

one members area

I would still say use a CMS. It will save you a butt load of time and energy. Will give you additional features you may have not even thought of yet. Will do a much better job at assisting you in your upsales, allow you to preset in your updates and so much more.
As far as costs go, you can literally get a top of the line one in the 500 range.

how much does a cms cost?
do i have to buy more licenses for more sites or can I just buy one and use it over and over on different sites?

500 range for what I use. Some are less some are more.
The one I use is single site only, though they do have multi-site versions. Some other ones I have seen out there appear to allow multi site ability but they did not measure up to what I currently use in my opinion at least.

thanks for the suggestion, thats too much for my first avs site.

If I make more money down the road then Ill go with that.

AWW is best :thumbsup
700$ can get it all done + after sale support

agreed, but surely AWW is the way to go
