It\u2019ll determine much of the look, feel, and functionality of your site. Because of this, it's necessary to do at least some research to find the one that\u2019s best for you.\n\nAnd if picking a WordPress theme wasn\u2019t hard enough, finding one for your membership site adds on a whole new layer of complexity. The thing about membership sites is that you\u2019re not just creating a public-facing website. You also need to create protected pages and private areas that\u2019ll only be shown to your members.\n\nDesigning a member dashboard or video course library is a lot different than creating a blog post template or about page. What's more, out of the 30,000+ themes out there, almost none of them are purpose built for membership sites.\n\nThat\u2019s why in this article, we\u2019ll share some information with you that\u2019ll help you pick the best theme for your project. We\u2019ll also point out a few themes that could serve as a good foundation for your membership site.\n<h2><strong>8 Things To Consider Before Choosing Your WordPress Membership Site Theme<\/strong><\/h2>\nBefore we dive in and explore some of the themes you could use for your membership site, there are a few things you should consider in your selection process. If you ignore any of these areas, you could wind up picking a theme that ultimately doesn\u2019t support the vision you have for your project.\n\nMore importantly, you might not discover the limitations of a theme until you\u2019re knee deep in the design and development phase. If that happens, you might have to scrap all the hard work you\u2019ve put into your site and start back at square one. We\u2019ve been there and it\u2019s no fun at all. So, before you commit to a theme for your membership site, here are 8 things you should consider first.\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s Your Vision For Your Membership Site?<\/strong><\/h3>\nThis question might sound simple, but what is your vision for your membership site?\n\nHow do you want it to look, feel, and perform?\n\nBefore you \u201cbreak ground\u201d and start designing your site, it\u2019s important to have a plan and a vision to guide you. Don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t have a crystal-clear image of your dream site in your mind. All you need is a basic plan and maybe a few wireframe sketches.\n\n<img class=\"embed-center\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/wpgcbucket\/wp\/2021\/03\/30ff1643-best-wordpress-theme-for-membership-site.png\" alt=\"best wordpress theme for membership site\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>\n\nOn top of this, we recommend that you create a list of the core, \u201cmust have\u201d features you want for your site. For example, do you plan on offering any of the following things to your members?\n<ul>\n \t<li>A video course library<\/li>\n \t<li>Private member forums<\/li>\n \t<li>A member dashboard or homepage<\/li>\n \t<li>Coaching calls<\/li>\n \t<li>Protected articles or interviews<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOnce you know these things, you\u2019ll have a concrete list of things to look for as you search for your perfect theme.\n<h3><strong>Where Do You Plan To Host Your Membership Site?<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe decision of where to host your membership site is a big one. For example, if you have an existing WordPress website, you could simply install a membership plugin like <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MemberMouse<\/a> and create your site there. If that\u2019s the case for you, then the theme you\u2019re already using would be what you would use to style your protected pages and member areas.\n\nOr, if you have an existing site but don\u2019t want to use your current theme, you could create a subdomain with a fresh installation of WordPress. If you go this route, you have the option to use a different theme on that subdomain specifically for your membership site. Something like: <em>https:\/\/members.mysite.com<\/em>. This could be a great option for you if the theme you have on your public facing website isn\u2019t well suited to the requirements of a membership site.\n\nAlternatively, you could register an entirely new domain name that\u2019s relevant to your membership and build a new site from scratch. There\u2019s no right or wrong approach here. It just depends on what you want to do.\n<h3><strong>The Difference Between Public &amp; Private Pages<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe next thing you should consider in your search for the perfect membership theme has to do with the difference between public and private pages. What differentiates a <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/membership\/10-niche-membership-sites-that-will-inspire-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">membership site<\/a> from a standard website is that a membership site will typically have private areas with protected content. These are pages that are not accessible to public visitors.\n\nHere\u2019s why this is important:\n\nJust like you need to design all the public-facing pages for your website (like your homepage, about page, blog posts, etc.), you\u2019ll also need to design the pages that are protected in your membership.\n\n<img class=\"embed-center\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/wpgcbucket\/wp\/2021\/03\/675ebbef-wordpress-subscription-theme.png\" alt=\"wordpress subscription theme\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/>\n\nA WordPress membership plugin like <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MemberMouse<\/a> can help you create and protect your members\u2019 only pages. However, the design of these pages will ultimately be up to you. Most themes have pre-existing, ready-to-go templates for the pages a public website will need. However, very few of them have templates for the kind of pages you\u2019ll likely want to create for your membership site.\n\nThis is really important because you probably have an idea or vision of how you\u2019d like things to look when your members log in to your site. Maybe you want a course library or dynamic member dashboard that makes it easy for your members to make their way through your content. As you research the different themes available to you, keep your ideas for your protected pages at the front of your mind. This way, you can more easily identify the theme that\u2019ll work best for you.\n<h3><strong>What Features &amp; Functions Do You Need?<\/strong><\/h3>\nToday, most of the top WordPress themes have essentially the same features:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Code-free customization<\/li>\n \t<li>Page builder integrations<\/li>\n \t<li>Mobile\/Tablet responsiveness<\/li>\n \t<li>Fast load times<\/li>\n \t<li>WCAG 2.0 Accessibility<\/li>\n \t<li>SEO best practices<\/li>\n \t<li>Security and updates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSo, it can be tricky to actually figure out what makes one theme unique over another.\n\nThat being said, you shouldn\u2019t take any of these features for granted. As you look for the best theme for your membership site, you will want to make sure that it\u2019ll meet your needs now and in the future.\n\nIf you pick a theme that performs poorly on mobile or tablet devices, your site could wind up looking like a jumbled pile of garbage to those visitors. That would almost certainly scare them away from your brand and business.\n\nIn a similar vein, if your theme wasn\u2019t created with SEO best practices in mind, you\u2019ll be fighting an uphill battle when it comes to ranking your site and attracting organic visitors. This is why it\u2019s so important to have a plan and vision for your site. When you know what you want to create and what\u2019s critical to achieving your goals, you can pick a theme that aligns with your vision.\n<h3><strong>Will Your Theme Work With Your Tech Stack?<\/strong><\/h3>\nThis is a big one.\n\nBefore you commit to a theme for your membership site, it would serve you well to triple check that it plays nicely with the core components of your existing tech stack. Go through the \u201cmust have\u201d plugins already installed on your site (or the ones you plan to use on your next project) and do a bit of detective work. A few quick Google searches can help you avoid some migraine-level tech headaches down the line.\n\n<img class=\"embed-center\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/wpgcbucket\/wp\/2021\/03\/a182cf8c-wordpress-membership-theme.png\" alt=\"wordpress membership theme\" width=\"500\" height=\"329\" \/>\n\nPlus, a lot of the reputable themes out there have support centers, forums, or teams that can help you with your decision. If you can\u2019t find any answers through search, you can always pop into a theme forum or ask your questions on live chat.\n\nAs a starting point, you\u2019ll want to make sure your theme is compatible with these tools:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Your membership plugin \u2014 like <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MemberMouse<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li>Your page builder \u2014 like <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/elementor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Elementor<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/beaverbuilder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Beaver Builder<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li>Your form tool \u2014 like <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/gravity-forms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Gravity Forms<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/wp-forms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">WPForms<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li>Your SEO plugin \u2014 like <a href=\"https:\/\/yoast.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Yoast<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/aioseo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">All-In-One SEO<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li>Your lead-gen tool \u2014 like <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/optin-monster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Opt-In Monster<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li>Your security plugin \u2014 like <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/sucuri\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Securi<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordfence.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Wordfence<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nObviously, the list could go on. But you get the idea.\n<h3><strong>How Much Work Do You Want To Do?<\/strong><\/h3>\nAs an entrepreneur who\u2019s building an online business, do you really want to spend your precious time fiddling around with theme code and design elements?\n\nWeb design is a specialized skill. There\u2019s a reason developers get paid the big bucks to build sites. Sure, page builders and hosted solutions make it sound easy to get your site up and running in minutes. But the reality is never that simple. If you pick a theme that requires a lot of customization, you could spend an eternity just trying to get your buttons to center on the page.\n\nYou\u2019ve got much more important work to do than that.\n\nSome themes are more-or-less good to go out of the box. Some are little more than blank canvases waiting for you to paint your masterpiece. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to consider how much design, development, and customization work you want and are capable of doing before you pick a theme.\n\nThemes that include a lot of readymade templates are perfect if you don\u2019t want to (or can\u2019t) do a lot of customization work. Sure, you might have to sacrifice a little bit on your vision \u2013 but working with constraints can be a good thing. There\u2019s no shame in using a theme with pre-made templates. They can save you a lot of time and hassle. If you have a to-do list a mile long, we\u2019d advise you to go this route.\n\nOn the other hand, if you\u2019ve got some design chops, know your way around a CSS file, and actually enjoy the trial and error that goes into designing a site from scratch, you might want to pick a theme with fewer features and more room for customization.\n<h3><strong>Let\u2019s Talk Site Speed<\/strong><\/h3>\nHold on a sec\u2026 what about site speed?\n\nYes, this is a very important thing to consider when selecting the theme you\u2019ll use for your membership site for two reasons. The first has to do with SEO. The second has to do with user experience.\n\nWithout getting into the nitty gritty details about what makes a theme fast vs. slow, it\u2019s important to note that not all themes are created and coded equally. Some are lean, mean, and faster than Usain Bolt at the Olympics. Other themes can be bloated, poorly designed, and slower than a sloth on valium (maybe that\u2019s a bit of an exaggeration).\n\nThat being said, you\u2019ll generally want to pick a theme with an emphasis on speed and fast page-load times. The reason for this is that you\u2019ll increase your ability to win at SEO and deliver a fantastic experience to your members. This is doubly true if you plan on using blogging or content marketing as the primary way you attract visitors to your site.\n<h3><strong>Will You Need Customer Support?<\/strong><\/h3>\nLast but certainly not least in our checklist is customer support. It\u2019s important to understand that not all WordPress themes come with customer support. In fact, if you plan to use a free theme, chances are it won\u2019t come with any level of support. That means if you encounter problems or issues as you\u2019re building your site, you\u2019ll have to rely on Google, noisy Facebook groups, or potentially outdated forums for answers.\n\nIf you\u2019re an experienced developer or designer, you might not need a theme that provides support to its users. Your knowledge of web design, coding, and WordPress could be all you need to crack open that <em>functions.php<\/em> file to customize your theme or troubleshoot any issues you encounter.\n\n<img class=\"embed-center\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/wpgcbucket\/wp\/2021\/03\/3819441d-subscription-based-wordpress-theme.png\" alt=\"subscription based wordpress theme\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/>\n\nHowever, if even the thought of clicking on the <em>Theme Editor<\/em> link on your WordPress dashboard sends shivers down your spine, we recommend going with a theme that includes customer support. This way, if you accidentally do something that causes your entire site to come crashing down, there's a team of experts you can turn to for help.\n\nWhile it may be tempting to use a free theme without support, you do so at your own risk. If things go south on your site, a $59 annual fee for support will seem insignificant compared to figuring out everything on your own.\n<h2><strong>8 Of The Very Best Themes For WordPress Membership Sites<\/strong><\/h2>\nNow that you have a set of criteria you can use to pick the perfect theme for your membership site, let\u2019s take a look at a few themes that could work great for your project.\n\nA quick disclaimer:\n\nThis isn\u2019t the \u201cbe all, end all\u201d list of themes. We didn\u2019t come down from the mountain with these 8 themes etched in stone tablets. Like we said at the beginning of this article, there are tens of thousands of themes out there for you to choose from. Just because a theme you\u2019re considering isn\u2019t on this list doesn\u2019t mean it won\u2019t work for you.\n\nWe\u2019ve taken all of the considerations listed above when we compiled this list. We hope it helps you find some clarity and reduce any amount of overwhelm you might feel about picking a theme.\n\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9581\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/wpgcbucket\/wp\/2021\/03\/e2c2894c-best-wordpress-membership-site-themes.png\" alt=\"best wordpress membership site themes\" width=\"4000\" height=\"10\" \/>\n<h3>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/divi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Divi from Elegant Themes<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<img class=\"embed-center\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/wpgcbucket\/wp\/2021\/03\/aed69382-divi-wordpress-membership-site-theme.png\" alt=\"divi wordpress membership site theme\" width=\"600\" height=\"591\" \/>\n\nFirst up in our list is <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/divi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Divi from Elegant Themes<\/a>.

But, if you\u2019d rather not have to do all the heavy lifting of an experienced developer or designer, we\u2019d recommend choosing a different theme for your project.\n<h5><strong>Key Features:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<i class=\"fa fa-check-circle-o\"><\/i> Mobile Responsive\n<i class=\"fa fa-check-circle-o\"><\/i> Secure &amp; Updated\n<i class=\"fa fa-check-circle-o\"><\/i> Customer Support\n<i class=\"fa fa-check-circle-o\"><\/i> Great Speed\n<i class=\"fa fa-check-circle-o\"><\/i> Built For Elementor\n<h5><strong>Price:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<i class=\"fa fa-arrow-circle-o-right\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/?ref=21123\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Hello from Elementor<\/a> \u2013 Free\n\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9581\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/wpgcbucket\/wp\/2021\/03\/e2c2894c-best-wordpress-membership-site-themes.png\" alt=\"best wordpress membership site themes\" width=\"4000\" height=\"10\" \/>\n<h3>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/neve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Neve from ThemeIsle<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<img class=\"embed-center\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/wpgcbucket\/wp\/2021\/03\/ad682aee-neve-wordpress-membership-site-theme.png\" alt=\"neve wordpress membership site theme\" width=\"600\" height=\"593\" \/>\n\nWhat makes the <a href=\"https:\/\/membermouse.com\/neve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Neve theme<\/a> unique is that it\u2019s built to be \u201cmobile first.\u201d This means it\u2019s designed specifically to render well on mobile devices.

Maybe you love the look and feel of a certain website out there. Or maybe you want to create something that a template or page builder just can\u2019t do.\n\nIn this situation, you might want to consider using a custom theme. That being said, it\u2019s not quite as simple as \u201cusing\u201d a custom theme. The reason for this is because you will have to develop the theme yourself or hire a developer to do it. Custom themes are great because they can be built to match all of your design specifications and technical requirements. The downside is that it can cost you a pretty penny to do so.\n\nThis way of doing things is definitely the \u201cadvanced path\u201d to building a WordPress membership site \u2013 <em>the double black diamond, if you will<\/em>.\n\nHowever, there are a few ready-made custom themes out there that are purpose built for membership sites. A terrific one of these themes was developed by the good people over at <a href=\"https:\/\/memberdev.com\/membermouse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">MemberDev<\/a>.

It was developed by the team over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themembershipguys.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">The Membership Guys<\/a>.
