NWM CMS — Pages, Memberships, Courses, Community

This page shows you how to build and launch your marketing website, gate some of its content behind a login, sell online courses, and host a private community — all from one place. No coding required. You can get a first version live in an afternoon.

1. What NWM CMS is (and isn't)

NWM CMS is the content publishing side of NWM CRM. Four tools. One login. One shared contact list with Sales and Marketing:

• Pages — your marketing website. Home, services, about, blog, one-page campaign sites, and translated versions.
• Memberships — lock content behind a login. Free, paid, or trial levels. Payments handled by Stripe.
• Courses — structured lessons, quizzes, and progress tracking.
• Community — members-only discussion, spaces, events, and private messages.

What it does well:

• Marketing sites that publish in English and Spanish from day one.
• AI drafts that match your brand voice.
• Search engine and AI-answer readiness baked into every page.
• Forms and gated pages wired straight to Memberships and Community.
• Sell a course without paying for a second platform.

What it isn't:

• A big online store (use Shopify for 20+ products).
• A general-purpose app builder (use Next.js).
• A social network.

3. Pages and templates

The Pages tool lists every page on your site. Each page has:

Building with blocks

Every page is made of blocks: hero, features grid, customer quotes, pricing, FAQ, a big button, a contact form, and more. Add, remove, reorder, or duplicate. Each block has 2 to 4 design variants to pick from.

4. Blog and AI writer

Open Blog, then Content AI. This is where roughly 8 out of 10 of your search engine articles will come from.

5. One-page campaign sites and side-by-side tests

Landing Pages is the tool for one-page campaign sites. Build one in under 10 minutes:

1. Pick a landing page template (free giveaway, webinar signup, free trial, more).
2. Edit headline, sub-headline, bullet points, form fields.
3. Connect the form (auto-wired to Forms).
4. Publish at any URL you want: /promo/q2-campaign.

Testing two versions side by side

Open A/B Tests. Pick a page. Clone it as version B. Change whatever you want to test (headline? button color? form length?). The tool splits traffic 50/50 and picks the winner when it has enough data to be sure.

6. Search engine and AI answer planners

Two tools you'll use weekly:

Search engine planner (/cms/seo.html)

Enter one starter keyword. You get back a cluster: 1 pillar topic plus 8 to 15 supporting topics. Each one mapped to search volume, difficulty, and buyer intent. Click any topic to auto-draft a blog post.

AI answer planner (/cms/seo-planner.html)

AI answer planning means writing pages AI tools want to quote. Enter a question your customers ask ("How much does a fractional CMO cost?"). You get back the question reshaped for AI plus a page template designed to be quoted by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.

7. Forms, Memberships, Courses, Community

Forms are drag-and-drop. Every submission:

• Lands in your CRM as a new contact.
• Fires an email to whoever you pick.
• Optionally starts an Automation or signs them up for a Sequence.
• Exports to CSV, Google Sheets, or Zapier.

Memberships

Memberships puts pages, downloads, and courses behind a login. Free, trial, or paid levels. Stripe handles the payments. Every page block can be toggled "members only" with a dropdown — no code, no plugin.

Courses

Courses is structured learning. Modules. Lessons. Videos. Quizzes. Progress tracking. Sell a course by itself or bundle it with a Membership. Progress shows up on the contact record, so sales reps can see who finished onboarding before a renewal call.

Community

Community replaces Circle, Discord, and paid Slack seats. Members-only spaces. Threaded discussion. Events. Private messages. Useful any time a course or membership needs an ongoing conversation layer, not just one-way content.

8. Publishing in English and Spanish

Every page has a language toggle at the top. Write in English. Click "translate to Spanish." Review. Publish. The CMS:

• Adds the right tags automatically so Google knows each page has a mirror.
• Shows /es/page to Spanish visitors, /page to English visitors.
• Keeps slugs the way you want (/services + /es/servicios).
• Lets the AI translate, or paste your own version.

9. Launch checklist

Before you go live, the CMS runs this check automatically:

• Every page has a title and description.
• Every image has alt text (so blind visitors' screen readers can describe it).
• Every form submits correctly.
• Layout works on phone sizes (375px), tablet (768px), and desktop (1440px).
• Speed score above 90 on home page and top 3 pages.
• Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, and LinkedIn Pixel all wired.
• Favicon and Apple touch icon present.
• Sitemap generated and submitted to Google Search Console.

Fix any red flags. Hit "Launch." Your new domain usually takes over within 15 minutes.

10. What to do next

What success looks like

• Within one afternoon: a first version of your site is live.
• Within 2 weeks: first blog posts published, Google starts indexing.
• Within 90 days: measurable traffic, contact forms filling in, first members signing up if you enabled Memberships.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Publishing AI copy without editing. AI gets you 80% there. Your voice is the last 20%. Do it.
• Skipping mobile preview. Half your visitors are on a phone. Check every page on yours before launch.
• Going English-only in a Spanish market. Even if you don't sell in Spanish, a Spanish marketing site roughly doubles your reach.
