Yo, I'm getting a headache playing with this. Since I'm delving deeper and deeper into product creation, I'm creating membership websites now. To make it sexy, responsive, and seamless...I am under the impression that one needs 3 things:
  • a theme, (Optimize Press)
  • membership script/plugin to secure content and such (S2Member)
  • payment processing (Clickbank)
Am I right? I have Optimize Press and S2Member, and use Clickbank...so I should be all set, right? I keep thinking that I'm screwing something up here or have something ass backwards. I don't...right? I'm good?

Sales funnel and sleek look with OPress....secured content and access pages with S2M...and payment processing with CB. Right? Been a long day and this is giving me a headache...please tell the Dudeman that he's over-complicating things....thank you.

    Yes, you might be over-thinking this!
    All three will work fine.

    You should choose (especially the member software) according to your needs and potential expansion.

    Make a list of features you need.
    Content drip?
    Unlimited levels?
    Integration with WarriorForum, or JVZoo, or ??
    and on and on.

    So set it up on paper, map it out, go to the member software site and see how they tell you to do that.
    You may find some will not do what you need.
    (depending on the complexity of your needs).

    Then make sure the member software you choose can do these.
    And of course budget


    oh.... and if your doing a lot of video for the member area, you should deliver the video off-site from a third party (amazon s3, cloudfront, etc...) or you'll find the bandwidth to feed video from your server will be ridiculous.
