To sit there and debug a product with one of the co-founders in real time over zoom was was really cool and it just gave me like that much more buy-in to the product and to the company.

About This Case Study

Learn how solo founder Will, built a fully functioning marketplace with Memberstack and other no-code tools.

Easy to implement

"Without Memberstack I would have had to find a developer, which would have involved time and money. It would have also meant I couldn't get in there and screw around with things myself if I needed to make modifications to it later. I originally hired somebody to do it on WordPress and every time I needed to change something, (because I don't know WordPress) I had to pay him 50 bucks to go in there and change it. It was slow and the cost added up. So I loved the idea of being able to do it myself.

Of course, Memberstack also had a few competing products that I looked at. And I can't remember exactly why I chose Memberstack, but I know there were some differentiators that I was like, okay, I'm definitely using Memberstack."

Building a marketplace on no-code

"I remember going to the showcase page a number of times before I even had my own product in mind and seeing Unicorn Factory and just kind of seeing what he built with Memberstack. So when I had the idea for this marketplace, Memberstack was top-of-mind, and I was like, “Could I actually build a fully functioning marketplace on no-code?

When I took a deep dive into what Memberstack could do and found the answer to my question was yes, I could build this thing using Memberstack, that really was actually one of the things that encouraged me to proceed. If I had found that it wouldn’t have worked for what I envisioned, I may well not have pursued the project.”

Real time support from the Memberstack team

"I've already touched on this in ten different ways, but the ease of use, the speed of being able to put up a membership site -- which is its whole reason for being -- that's very powerful.

The team is very accessible and transparent. I actually discovered a bug and I got on a Zoom call with Tyler (co-founder). To be able to sit there and debug a product with one of the co-founders in real time over Zoom was really cool, and it just gave me that much more buy-in to the product and to the company."
