What is this very website built on?
I still love and use Simplero for the all-in-one functionalities:
website (with easy split testing capability)
robust mailing list (with great deliverability)
course delivery (advanced abilities to drip content and create different levels of students)
affiliate program (with ability for deep linking, e.g. creating an affiliate link of virtually any link in the world)
community software (to host a forum or membership program)
As far as I know, the combination of these things are unique, and not provided by other options like Squarespace or Wix. I've tried creating websites on Squarespace and Wix a few times, and just found it hard to use.

What's Skool?
For community management, Skool is a strong option because of how fun it is to use!
The JoyPro program is currently built on Skool, and my members love interacting there.
So if you'd like to build a paid membership, without the need for other features like a website or mailing list, try Skool. If you use my affiliate link (below), I'll be happy to answer your questions as you build out your own Skool:

A fun way to begin building your paid membership community, and get additional support, is to join Skool Games.
However... Simplero is currently focused on totally upgrading their community tool, and it looks promising! See for yourself here: simplero.community
