With the additions of our Pages, Navigation and Community features, more and more of our account owners are transitioning their websites fully over to MemberVault.

And since moving your website can be a bit complex, we've created a handy checklist to help guide you in making this transition! Where relevant, we've included links to other help articles with more details on how to complete these steps.

Essential Steps:

  1. Take a look at your current website (if you have one) and decide what material needs to move over to MemberVault.

  2. Create your Home page, About page, and any other essential pages you need for your website using our Pages feature.

  3. Set up your Navigation menu to link the pages you've created.

  4. Change your default home page from your MV marketplace to the Home page you created in Pages.

  5. Set up your custom domain using the "www" subdomain. Note: Some domain hosts that also allow you to create websites will keep "www" locked as a custom default setting. To unlock this, contact your domain host and request that they release the www subdomain so you can use it for MV.

  6. Redirect your root domain (https://yourdomainname.com) to your MV custom domain (https://www.yourdomainname.com).

  7. Start sharing your amazing new website out on the internet! You can link to your website on social media, your email signatures, email newsletters etc.

Extras you can tweak later:

  1. Add any additional pages to your Navigation menu or linked throughout your site (i.e. blog, ungated community, testimonials, offer)

  2. Consider how you want your site visitors to navigate your MV site. Does each page have a clear call to action linking to the next step they should take on your site?

    1. Example Suggestion: Add a button to the end of your About page linking to your Marketplace so people can see how to work with you.

    2. Another Suggestion: Embed a signup form to your email list on a landing page and link to this page on both your Home and About pages.

  3. Connect an Analytics tool for more advanced reporting. (Our team recommends Fathom Analytics -- **aff link.)
