Case study

Women’s wellbeing membership built to empower healthy aging

Motivation designed and built The Aging Project’s membership website for women’s healthy aging — connecting courses, challenges, a podcast and shop in one personal member dashboard.

Overview

Connecting wellbeing resources with a clear member journey.

The client had a deep library of expert resources, an audience and a podcast — but the standard members library is rigid, generic and gives members nowhere to go. Nothing connected a first visit to a signed-up member.

We built the website, a researched acquisition funnel and a bespoke members-only Dashboard as one automated journey. The difference is not more content. It is a platform built to carry it.

Podcast IntegrationPodcast Integration

A podcast is one of the strongest tools for building an audience and driving traffic - it demonstrates credibility and expertise while extending the brand's reach. So we integrated the show directly into the Dashboard: the podcast page loads every episode in place, so members listen without opening another tab.A podcast is one of the strongest tools for building an audience and driving traffic.

The Website

A clear first step from visitor to member

A homepage has one job: make the value obvious in seconds. We built the story around Shelley Craft, the podcast and the benefits of joining, then built the page custom so it loads in seconds.

Behind it sits our researched Acquisition Funnel - a clear, automated path from first visit to free product to Dashboard. The client was amazed by the influx of traffic and the number of visitors who actually took the next step.

The Product Experience

Course pages that keep the conversation going

We rebuilt the challenge pages in the brand's own type and colour: a clean lesson player, a slide-in curriculum sidebar with search, and a comment thread that reads like a community rather than a form. Members reply, return and keep going.

Let us know what aging "bloody well" means for you.

Aging well for me means staying metabolically healthy - eating well, keeping my brain busy, and staying curious enough to keep trying new things.
