SubHub focuses exclusively on web-based membership website publishing. We understand what your organization needs to profit from its content, while making it simple for staff to manage.

The Challenge

Chances are your organization has one or more existing websites already. If it’s like many organizations, however, those websites are creaking under the weight of modern expectations.

It may be difficult to edit or change content. Each website may have its own member database, separate from the others. Payment flexibility is limited — it’s impossible to offer discounts and incentives. E-commerce offerings are clunky or non-existent. Historic, archival data lies fallow, leaving significant untapped value on the table. There is a continued costly dependence on external contractors. Technology limitations prevent new ideas from being readily developed and tested. Technology gatekeepers frustrate the plans of creative editorial and business employees.

The Solution

Since 2005, SubHub has focused exclusively on being membership website experts. A membership website solution from SubHub brings together a number of elements to transform the way your organization operates. These include:

Content Management

Publish content as text, image, video, PDF and other formats. Easily create and change site menus and navigation. Schedule content for future publication. Limit selected content to members-only. SubHub are content management experts.

Subscription Management

Manage your subscriber list using a robust relational database with an easy user interface. SubHub builds on PHP and MySQL to enable your organization to easily manage subscriber activity. Allow subscribers to purchase subscriptions to single or multiple websites. Sell bulk subscriptions to corporate customers. Create multiple member groups with different price points. Assign various levels of roles and responsibilities for staff and management.

Legacy Data Migration

Derive more value from your years of content and member data. SubHub can import your historic content — making it newly browseable and accessible — and keep it behind a paywall for subscribers only.

Powerful Search

SubHub uses Apache Solr to make your organization’s content fully and instantly searchable, across content types — web pages, PDFs, Word docs and more. Your archival content can find new life and new relevance for your members. Current content can be more easily found.

Design

SubHub offers complete flexibility to create website designs consistent with your brand identity. A member of our design team can work with you, or you can use your own designers. SubHub’s membership website solutions are built using open web standards.

Billing and Payment

Take one-time or recurring payments via credit card, bank transfer or PayPal. Generate invoices and record payments. Export transaction data for accounting and reconciliation. Offer discount codes, redemption codes, group subscriptions and more. Plug in your existing merchant services provider.

E-Commerce

An integrated shopping cart makes it easy to sell anything to website visitors — from digital downloads to branded items such as mugs, t-shirts, books and more.

Reporting

SubHub membership solutions offer a range of reporting options. Receive thorough reports on website traffic, member activity and transaction history — enabling your staff to make better-informed business and editorial decisions.

Hosted and Managed

All SubHub solutions are hosted and managed — no need for your team to deal with hosting, serving, backups, monitoring and system administration. SubHub looks after it all for you.
Support

SubHub is dedicated to providing great support. A dedicated account manager keeps on top of all issues, from the initial build to ongoing maintenance and future expansion. Your account manager is always just a phone call or email away.
