Burton Railway Society Case Study

Meetings and membership, without the overhead of a members’ platform.

Burton Railway Society - a website built by SME Web Designs, Derby

The brief

Burton Railway Society needed a simple way to publish their monthly meeting schedule and take membership sign-ups, without paying for or maintaining a full membership platform built for a much bigger organisation.

What I did

I built a straightforward events structure around the society’s monthly Thursday meetings, so members and prospective members always know what’s coming up and what it costs to attend.

Membership sign-up and the tiered admission pricing sit on the same simple form, keeping the admin as light as the society itself.

The result

A site that handles a small club’s real needs, schedules, membership, admission pricing, without any of the cost or complexity of enterprise membership software.
