Who you are, what does your project do, and why did you build it?
I’m the founder of Tradiespace, a platform built to help Australian tradespeople and construction businesses save money on tools, materials, and essential business services like financing & insurance. Tradies in Australia often struggle with high costs, limited access to trade discounts, and a lack of centralised resources. We built Tradiespace Savings Club to change that - giving tradies a single place to access exclusive deals, compare top services, and streamline their businesses. The goal is simple: make running a trade business or being a tradesperson easier, fun and more profitable.
What problems did Memberstack help you to solve?
Without Memberstack, we would have had to build a custom membership system from scratch, which would have been expensive, time-consuming, and a nightmare to maintain. Managing member access, payments, and authentication would have required multiple separate tools, creating complexity instead of streamlining operations. Memberstack gave us a plug-and-play solution that saved us development hours and kept everything under one roof. It allowed me to focus on growing the business instead of getting caught up in technical headaches.
What are your favorite things about Memberstack? Why are those your favorites?
Memberstack has been a game-changer for us. The simplicity of setup and management made it an easy choice. It integrates seamlessly with our existing webflow based platform, saving us time and resources. The user management features are rock solid, allowing us to control access to premium content and deals effortlessly. Their support team is outstanding, always responsive and helpful, which gives us confidence as we scale. Most importantly, Memberstack is central to our growth strategy it’s not just a tool we use; it’s part of our long-term plan to expand Tradiespace into a large savings marketplace.
How I built this...
Building Tradiespace Savings Club was all about keeping things lean and scalable as we test our MVP. We designed the platform around Memberstack for membership management, ensuring a smooth user experience from signup to accessing deals. The core stack includes:
- Webflow for the front-end design and site structure.
- Memberstack for user authentication, memberships, and gated content.
- Stripe for payment processing, handling subscriptions securely.
- Zapier to automate workflows and connect different tools seamlessly.
- Email software for our newsletter and member updates.
Our development team found Memberstack incredibly simple to work with, making it easy to integrate everything without needing heavy custom coding. The result? A frictionless sign-up and membership experience that lets tradies access deals instantly. As we grow, we’re doubling down on Memberstack as a core part of our platform, ensuring our expansion is smooth and scalable.
