Membership sites were, up until recently, quite hard to implement. You needed a lot of tech know-how to integrate a membership software with you static or even CMS driven website.

Up until WordPress, of course. It seems that “there’s a plugin for that” whatever your needs are, just like on the iPhone.

This article covers some of the best WordPress membership plugins and tutorials available at the moment.
