Every association is organised differently
A sports club with licences and time slots, a cultural association with workshops and shows, a community group with events and volunteers: the word “association” covers very different organisations. Market software picks one model — often the sports federation — and everyone else bends to fit.
The classic result: the treasurer keeps dues in one spreadsheet, the secretary keeps members in another, registrations travel by e-mail, and preparing the annual general meeting becomes an exercise in file reconciliation.
Your association, described then generated
Describe how you operate: “Our association runs theatre workshops. We have members with a yearly membership fee, weekly workshops with a facilitator and a maximum capacity, and per-workshop registrations. I want to see who is up to date on dues and how full each workshop is.”
Blueprint Maker generates the matching application: members and their dues, workshops and their registrations, and a dashboard answering your two questions — who is up to date, which workshops are full.
The statuses you use (up to date, late, exempt) and your membership categories (individual, family, reduced) become the structure of the application.
- Member records with dues status
- Dues tracking by season or year
- Activities, time slots and capacities
- Registrations linked to members
- Dashboard: headcount, dues, fill rates
A tool the committee can hand over
Volunteer turnover is the curse of association tools: the spreadsheet built by one treasurer leaves with them. An application generated by Blueprint Maker is a web application documented by its own interface — clear lists, records and forms — reachable at its dedicated URL, with nothing to install. The successor opens the browser and finds everything.
And because the code is exportable (ZIP, GitHub), the association keeps control of its digital asset — including if it one day wants to self-host it or have a local provider evolve it.
An association budget, not an enterprise budget
The Discovery plan (€0) lets you generate a first complete application — often enough for a small association. Paid plans (Pro €25/month, Max €149/month) are for iterating more, with the credit cost displayed before each generation.
No per-member pricing, no “premium” module to unlock exports: the generated application is complete, and it belongs to you.

Frequently asked questions — club management
Our association works in an unusual way. Is that a problem?
That's precisely the use case: the application is generated from the description of YOUR organisation — sections, local branches, differentiated rates, shifted seasons. You validate the plan before generation.
Can several committee members use the application?
It's a centralised web application: the data is the same for everyone who accesses it, unlike spreadsheets that diverge as they circulate.
What happens when the committee changes?
Nothing special — that's the advantage. The application stays online at its URL, the data stays in its database, and the code is exportable at any time. The tool outlives the mandates.
Can we manage several seasons or years?
Yes, if your description provides for it: dues and registrations can be attached to a season or year, with a browsable history.
Is it really free to start?
Yes: the Discovery plan lets you generate your first application without paying. Credit weights are published and fixed — a generation's cost is known before launching it.
