A clear public website. Member access that works. Events your staff can manage. AS Creative Services helps associations plan and build connected digital experiences from our base in Kensington, Maryland.
An association website serves more than one audience. Prospective members need to understand why they should join. Current members need to find resources, sign in, and register for education or events. Staff need to keep all of it up to date without working around disconnected tools.
We combine website strategy, user experience design, WordPress development, and custom integrations for associations and nonprofits serving Washington DC and the wider region. Our work with PLRB and the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians shows how that approach applies to member research, continuing education, event registration, and staff workflows.
Plan the journey from your public website into member-only resources. We review authentication, single sign-on, membership status, and access rules alongside your association management system (AMS). Renewal journeys belong in that plan too: where members renew, which system records the payment, and how their access is updated. The exact integration depends on your platform and its available connections.
Event registration should reflect the way your association works, including member pricing, discounts, invoices, and education requirements. We identify which steps your existing tools support and where a custom workflow is needed, rather than treating every event as a standard checkout.
Clear navigation and a manageable publishing process matter as much as the visual design. We plan resource libraries, event pages, and reusable content structures around the people who update them, with mobile layouts and accessibility considerations built into the design process.
Selected association work
From PLRB’s research and education platform to a Minnesota medical association’s event workflows, our work connects website design with the services members use every day.
PLRB
For the Property & Liability Resource Bureau, we consolidated fragmented databases and built an authenticated member portal, a custom learning management system, and AI-powered research search and summarization.
The project included reverse single sign-on with external systems, cVent event management, and Active Campaign newsletters alongside WordPress marketing sites.

Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians
MAFP needed more flexible event and continuing medical education workflows than its existing YourMembership setup provided. We delivered a branded WordPress website and custom event management using Gravity Forms and Gravity Flow.
Staff gained control over event landing pages, with Pay Later, invoicing, and discounts supported by integrations with Zoho CRM, QuickBooks, and Stripe.
Explore MAFP’s website and event workflowsA new website should not leave essential member services out of the plan. Before choosing a platform, we work through the systems and tasks your association relies on.
Identify how people join, sign in, renew, register for events, and reach restricted resources—and which system owns each step.
Review your AMS, CRM, payment, email, and learning tools. Define the connections, data to migrate, and responsibilities before implementation.
Include content migration, old-link redirects, mobile and accessibility checks, member-flow testing, staff handover, and ongoing support in the project discussion.

Not necessarily. We first review your current platform, available integrations, and the workflows you need to support. MAFP’s project addressed event-workflow limitations with custom WordPress tools; PLRB required a broader member and research platform. The right scope depends on your organization.
That is part of the planning conversation. In MAFP’s project, Elementor gave staff control over event landing pages, while Gravity Forms and Gravity Flow supported custom registration and payment workflows.
We are based in Kensington, Maryland, and serve organizations across Washington DC and the surrounding region. Our association work also supports organizations with audiences beyond the DC area.
Your current website, the names of your AMS and other connected tools, the tasks members or staff struggle with, and any launch constraints. We can then discuss whether you need a focused improvement, a redesign, or a more extensive platform project.
