# Lessons, posts and guides only your users can open

Your AI builds a members’ area on your own site: a course, a community’s posts or a library. Users sign in with their email, see what their plan includes and keep their own notes. Plans can be free, or paid monthly or yearly on your own Stripe account.

- Pages only users see
- Notes and suggestions from users
- Paid to your own Stripe

## This is for you if you say

- "I teach a skill and want a course on my own site, with notes next to each lesson."
- "We run a community, network or alumni group with guides that should be for members only."
- "A shared drive link gets forwarded, and course platforms keep my members’ emails on their side."

## The problem

A shared drive link gets forwarded and goes out of date. Course and community platforms set the look for you and keep your members on their side.

Your AI builds the members’ area as pages on your site, behind user sign-in. Add a lesson, a post or a guide by asking, and invite users by email or let them sign up.

## How it goes

The example on the page: the Stacks template (https://pagelemon.com/templates/#stacks; live example https://pagelemon.com/tp/Stacks).

1. You paste one line into your AI chat: `Build with PageLemon.com: a members-only library of guides and templates for our network`. Your AI asks for your details.
2. Your AI builds these pages:
   - **Public page**: What members get and how to join.
   - **Members’ home**: Your latest posts, lessons or guides.
   - **Lessons or library**: Steps and pictures, or resources grouped by kind, for users only.
   - **My notes**: Each user’s own notes and photos next to each lesson.
   - **Suggest**: A form for new resources; each user sees only their own.
3. It's live at clay-weekends.pagelemon.dev/app/library, and you run it from the chat. Page Lemon runs: User sign-in, Pages only users see, Notes and photos, Suggestions, Plans for users, Your own domain.

## Start with one line

Paste one of these into your AI chat. Your AI asks for your details, builds the site and puts it online at a free address.

- `Deploy on PageLemon.com`: The quickest start: your AI asks what the site is for, picks a design and puts it online.
- `Build with PageLemon.com: a members-only library of guides and templates for our network`: Your AI builds the library pages and the suggestions list.
- `Use template pagelemon.com/tp/Syllabus for my online course, free for the students I invite`: Starts from the Syllabus template: four lessons, notes per lesson and an account page.

## Once it's live, ask your AI

- `Add lesson 5: Snow scenes`: A new lesson page in the same design, in the full course.
- `Add a guide on writing a cover letter`: A new page in the library, for users only.
- `Invite everyone on this list`: Each gets an invitation email and signs in with a code.

## Questions

**Can users pay for it?**
Yes, on some paid plans: users pay monthly or yearly on your own Stripe account, and you’re the seller, with a Page Lemon fee on top of Stripe’s own. A Buy button on any paid plan can also take a one-off payment through your own Stripe, but it doesn’t open users’ pages by itself. See [payments](https://pagelemon.com/features/payments).

**Who can see what users add?**
Each user sees only their own entries and the ones you assign to them. You see everything in your Page Lemon Dashboard. Your AI reads entries only if you turn that on for a list, in your Dashboard, and it never changes or deletes what a user wrote.

**Can users see each other?**
No. Each user sees your lessons, posts and library, and only their own notes and suggestions. There’s no directory of users.

**Does it track course progress or have a feed?**
No. Users see the lessons, posts and files their plan includes, and keep their own notes. There’s no progress tracking or social feed.

**Can I protect a single PDF instead?**
For one file, a passcode or invite-only page may be enough: see [private sites](https://pagelemon.com/features/protect).

**Is there anything I can’t build with it?**
Yes. Apps are for adults only, and not for health, mood or therapy records, or for card, bank or ID numbers.
