A Members Area is the ideal tool to make your visitors engage, as it creates a community around your site. People who sign up to your Members Area get their own account where they can see all their information while getting to know other members.

Tip:

Some Wix apps like Wix Stores, Wix Bookings, and Wix Forum automatically add the Members Area to your site. If you don't have the app installed, learn how to add and set it up.

The Members Area structure

The Members Area consists of several parts you can tailor to your needs. Customize each element so it looks and feels like a genuine part of the design.

Click an element below to learn more about it:

Login bar and menu

The login bar appears in your site's header (unless you move it). Members can use it to sign up, and log in and out of your site. When they click the login bar, a drop-down menu opens.

Signup and login forms

There are 2 types of forms in your Members Area – one for new members signing up, and one for existing members to log in. Below the page's title, visitors can use a link to navigate to the form they need.

• Signup form: This form is displayed when a site visitor wants to sign up to become a member of your site.

• Login form: This form is displayed when an existing member wants to log in to your site. You can customize the login window by changing your font themes and site colors.
  
  

Member pages

Every Members Area comes with private pages (e.g. My Account, Notifications) that let members view their personal information. You can also add your own exclusive content for members, creating custom member pages.

If you're using certain Wix apps on your site, this automatically adds more pages to enhance the member's experience and engagement. For example, Wix Stores adds pages like My Wallet and My Orders so customers can track their transactions with ease.

Tip:

You can change any page on your site to Members Only, so it's not available to the general public. Learn how to do this in Wix Editor / Studio Editor.

Member profile page and profile card

The Member Profile Card is a header that appears on every page of the Members Area. It displays the member's name, image and additional details if needed.

You can also add a Profile page (if it isn't already pre-installed) that lets members get to know each other. This page shows information about each of your members, like their personal details, their profile picture and recent activity (e.g. blog comments).

Increase customer engagement

Using Wix's business solutions like Wix Stores, Wix Bookings or Wix Events? The Members Area is a great tool to create a real connection with your customers and make them return.

Customers who create an account on your site get much more control of their transactions; Many of the Wix business solutions include member pages, giving customers the option to track and see the information that's stored about them (e.g., their address, payment method details, etc.)

Create and strengthen your community

Whether you've created a site for your business or other purposes, the Member's Area can help you create a community around it as well. It can also be an online space for existing communities like educational institutions, groups around a topic of interest or any other type of group.

Click a social Wix app below to learn what it adds to your Members Area:

Online Programs

Program participants must be site members to access program content. Once members are logged in to your site, they can view their private program information, including:

• Active programs

• Past programs

• Programs duration

• The price of their programs

Wix Blog

Wix Blog includes an About page where members can describe themselves. They also have the following tabs:

• Blog Comments

• Blog Likes

• Blog Posts (visible to members with writing privileges)

• My Drafts (visible to members with writing privileges)
  
  

Wix Chat

Members chat is an additional Wix Chat feature that allows your logged in site members to chat with each other in addition to chatting with you (the business). Once enabled, your members can see private chats as well as create group chats.

Wix Forum

Members can follow each other's forum activity and get notified for comments posted by the members they follow.

Wix Groups

Get your members talking, create groups around common interests, post media and updates, start discussions and more.

The Wix File Share app

The Wix File Share app works with your Members Area to enable easy media sharing. Once you add the app, a Files page is added to the Members area where members (with permission) can view another member's uploads. Members can also view their own list of folders and files they marked as favorites.

Tip:

When using the social apps listed above, a Profile page is automatically added to your Member's Area so members can get to know each other. Every member decides for themselves whether their profile is public or private, and what info should be visible.

Creating exclusive member content

You're not confined to the pages you get by default with your Members Area – create exclusive pages for your members with content only they can access. You can make these pages available to all members, or limit them to a select few (specific member roles or paying members).

Design your own personalized space

Once you add a Members Area, a lot of the design work is done for you as the colors and fonts automatically match your site's theme. However, you can tailor the entire experience to your look and voice – from signup and login, to the Area's design and content.

Manage your members

Easily manage all of your site members in your members list in the dashboard. You can view detailed information about each member on this list as well as approving, deleting or blocking members. From here, you can also assign different roles or badges to make specific members stand out.
