To achieve members-only access, you need to decide on;

As of Nov 2022, there are two main solutions;

- Webflow Memberships BETA, which is currently in development, and [Nov 2022] not yet ready for production use.
However for this particular situation, both solutions would the the most basic content-access scenario.
Content Access
What do you need for content access-control?
- Basic. All-or-nothing. Either you have a current account, and you have access to all of the courses, or you do not have a current account, and you can access only the public site pages.
- Tiered. Group your courses, and your users, e.g. Silver, Gold, Platinum, and allow access by groups.
- Advanced. The ability to control detailed course access on a per-user basis.
As you might imagine, the simpler the solution, the better.
