Separate public publishing from member access
An association website often serves visitors, editors and members. Agree what each audience can read or change before planning the restricted area.
Public content
Identify the services, events, publications and contact routes visitors should find without signing in. Assign owners to keep this information current.
Member information
Decide which resources and directory fields members may see, how eligibility is checked and what happens when membership lapses.
Publishing responsibilities
Define who drafts, reviews and publishes updates. Keep editorial permissions distinct from membership administration and financial access.
Association website FAQ
How is an association website different from a membership portal?
An association website presents public information such as activities, news and membership benefits. A membership portal handles private tasks such as applications, renewals and member records. UNO can scope both together where they need to share information.
Can we publish some content for members only?
Yes. A member area can restrict documents, directories or event information to eligible members. We need to define who can see each item and what happens when a membership expires. Public content should remain accessible without signing in.
Can our secretariat update news and events?
The website can include CMS access for the content your secretariat manages. We agree who can edit and publish, which page types are needed and whether content needs approval. This helps avoid asking a developer to make every routine change.
Can the website use our existing member database?
It may be able to connect through an API or supported data import. We first review member identifiers, status fields and the way renewals are recorded. One system should be responsible for membership status so the public website and member area do not disagree.
Can members choose which details appear in an association directory?
A directory can publish selected profile fields while keeping administrative records private. Decide which fields members may choose to display, whether changes need approval and who can browse the directory. Expired memberships and withdrawn listings also need a defined publishing rule.
Can committee documents be restricted to current office holders?
Committee access can be scoped separately from general membership. Define the committee roles, their terms and who updates appointments. When a term ends, access should follow the association's rules for current and archived papers rather than remain attached to an old account indefinitely.
