Locked Area consists of four key elements, these are the administration panel, which the web site administrator uses to manage accounts, send mass emails and monitor statistics, the registration form, which web site visitors use to create themselves a member's area account, the user account manager, which registered users use to update their account details and password and finally the member's area directory, which would contain your secure content for which visitors must register to access.

Please see below for demonstrations of all three elements, for a demonstration of the various additional tools included with Locked Area, please register an account using the demonstration registration form and login to the member's area. For screenshots of the Locked Area Pro PayPal integration, please see the table to the right of this text.

The member's area is the directory that Locked Area password protects. When trying to access the member's area you will be prompted for a username and password so you will need to have registered first using the demonstration registration form (linked above).
