If you have php and mysql access, I suggest the two tutorials below:
As for members, I'd suggest you let people sign up: i.e. you enter their data in the database, but you also have a field in the users table where you specify if said members has payed or not.
You set the field to false by default, and when the person has payed you change it to true.
So you let all members view the site, that have the payed field set to true.
As for how to do it… you will need to learn some programming, if you don't want to pay anyone. Dunno the prices, sorry :-/ (I don't do freelance stuff).
