Lately, we’ve noticed that many associations and member groups are looking for an association management software solution that works well with WordPress. Well folks, this is something that sets us apart from our competitors.
Other CMS Platforms vs. AMO + WordPress
Other CMS platforms like WildApricot and Memberclicks either make you rely on their website editor, or have very little integration with WordPress.
With AMO, there is an entire team dedicated to creating your WordPress website. Our sister company ArcStone has 25+ years of website design and development experience, allowing us to create world-class custom websites.
Our WordPress plugin sets the tone for the industry, as it establishes a connection that can sync members to your WordPress website automatically.
This versatile, dynamic updating brings member information into your WordPress website so you don’t have to. This means that if you create a new event for your members or add new contacts, this information will automatically update and display on your WordPress site.
The AMO WordPress plugin works seamlessly to leverage the combined power of AMO and WordPress, with the main goal of it saving you time so you can focus on what matters most.
How does it work?
Installing the WordPress plugin is simple. You just need to install it onto your WordPress website and put in the API key from the back-end of AMO – during onboarding we can do all of this for you.
After everything is set, data from AMO and WordPress are synced. This means that if information is updated in AMO, it’s updated in WordPress too!
Why WordPress?
WordPress is widely celebrated as a Content Management System (CMS) for several key reasons:
1. A User-Friendly Interface: WordPress is known for its simplicity and intuitive interface. This allows users, even those with limited technical expertise, to create and manage their websites efficiently.
2. Flexibility: With WordPress, users can build a wide array of websites from simple blogs to complex e-commerce sites and everything in between. It offers thousands of themes and plugins that extend functionality and design possibilities.

4. SEO Friendly: WordPress is designed to be SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly. Many themes are optimized for faster loading times, and there are numerous SEO plugins to help optimize content, meta tags, keywords, and more, helping websites rank higher in search engine results.
6. Customizable: WordPress sites are highly customizable. Users can modify themes and use plugins to change the site’s functionality without altering the core programming.
