Carrollwood Area Business Association needed a seamless, responsive website that offered better service for members. By switching their association management software to GrowthZone, they were able to spend more time focusing on their members, offering tools that make it easier for members to connect and stay involved.
With a tight deadline and a small team, the Carrollwood Area Business Association (CABA) needed a solution that could deliver quickly without sacrificing quality or usability. GrowthZone helped the team move fast, simplify operations, and create a more engaging experience for members from day one.
A seamless implementation gave the team confidence and had their new site up and running within 30 days.
A responsive website and mobile app make it easy for members to engage anywhere at any time.
An intuitive backend means staff can update content and manage operations with technical expertise.
Features like enhanced profiles and event tools make it easier for members to connect and stay involved.
With just two staff members supporting 500 members, the Carrollwood Area Business Association (CABA) was facing a tight deadline and a tough decision. They had 30 days to move on from their existing system or commit to a long-term contract that no longer met their needs.
Their current platform created daily friction. The backend was clunky, the website lacked true mobile responsiveness, and even simple updates required technical expertise. As Director of Operations Melissa Marison put it, “It just never worked seamlessly and was downright embarrassing from a viewer standpoint.”
For a small team trying to deliver value to members, these limitations made it harder to keep up or grow. They needed something intuitive, modern, and built to support both their staff and their members.
CABA explored a range of options, from standalone website solutions to other membership management platforms. But many required too much time, technical oversight, or cost, which the small team couldn’t afford.
GrowthZone stood out for a different reason: responsiveness. “We were in a major time crunch, and GrowthZone said they could make it happen,” Melissa shared. “They gave me confidence that several of the other companies didn’t.”
Beyond timing, the decision came down to what mattered most: affordability, mobile capability, ease of use, and a partner willing to help them succeed. GrowthZone offered a path forward that felt manageable and achievable within their tight window.
In just 30 days, CABA was up and running—and operating at a completely different level.
“I have been extremely happy with GrowthZone AMS and the new features we can provide to our members,” Melissa said. “The team did what they committed to and got us up and running within 30 days.”
The difference was immediate. A fully responsive website and mobile app made it easier for members to engage, while enhanced member profiles and the InfoHub created new opportunities for visibility and connection. Just as important, the platform was easy for staff to manage without needing developer skills.
“We LOVE THE APP… and the true mobile responsiveness of the website,” Melissa shared. “Our staff does not need to be developer level to work the back end.”
Today, CABA’s team spends less time troubleshooting and more time focusing on their members while watching engagement grow in real time. “The GrowthZone InfoHub makes it easy for even inept users to navigate. It has been fun to watch.”
