A member site provides dedicated pages for specific communities or topics. Here's how to customize the complete member experience:

Member Homepage Customization

The member homepage serves as the landing page and appears in purchase confirmations, welcome emails, and customer account panels. To set a new homepage:

1. Navigate to the Pages panel
2. Find your member site
3. Click "..." on the desired page
4. Select "Set as member homepage"
5. Confirm your choice

Note: Deleting the homepage automatically sets the first listed page as the new homepage.

Navigation Options

Choose from these navigation styles:

• Main navigation replacement (7.1 only): Shows member navigation at the top
• Show in Customer Account panel: Displays pages in the account section
• Do not show navigation: Hides all member site links

To modify navigation:

1. Open Member Sites panel
2. Click Member Navigation
3. Select display preference
4. Save changes

Payment Customization

Create custom payment forms to:

• Collect customer information
• Gather feedback
• Display Terms of Service

Note: Custom forms don't appear for free member sites.

Email Notification Options

Customize these automatic emails:

• Welcome emails
• Cancellation notices
• Customer account communications
• Free membership opt-in confirmations

Paywall Configuration

Member site pages are protected by a paywall except for:

• Logged-in members with access
• Users with customer account access

Best Practices:

• Style your homepage using the Design panel
• Create clear navigation paths
• Set up comprehensive email communications
• Configure paywalls to match your membership model

Remember: Maintaining consistent navigation across all member sites is important as you can't set different styles for each site.
