Can you make Discourse look and feel like a luxury private members’ club, use it for our public-facing website as well as the private Sanctuary, integrate membership/payment, and keep the launch architecture as simple as possible?
Yes, this is possible with Discourse while keeping the launch architecture relatively simple.
I’d approach it by separating the public-facing areas from the private Sanctuary through Discourse categories, groups and permissions, while using a carefully designed theme/component layer to achieve the luxury private-members’ club look without modifying Discourse core.
For membership and payments, I’d first determine whether the required flow can be handled through existing Discourse integrations or a lightweight external membership/payment layer, then connect the membership status to Discourse groups and access permissions.
The key would be to keep the initial setup focused on branding, public/private access, membership flow and core community functionality, leaving more complex integrations for later phases.
Thank you Kamal for your detailed reply.
my second question is: Where can i find the professional to be able to do this?
