A web platform is a different job from a website. On a site, you display content; on a platform, there are user accounts, permissions, payments, data and business rules that change over time. When the number of users grows, a site just gets more traffic; a platform starts breaking.
I build platforms that need memberships, subscriptions, payments and admin panels. dinle.link, a bio link platform for musicians, Ketsy, a management platform for educational institutions, and Digitalent Music, a music distribution platform, are among the products I've built. All of them are live, and all of them have real users.
Because I built these products myself, I bring something different: I know not just how a platform is written, but how it behaves after launch. What happens when a payment fails, what a subscription cancellation does to the data, what gets lost when there's no backup; these are questions nobody raises at the pitch stage, yet they're what really define a product.
To turn your idea into a working product, we define the scope together and I build it end to end, from the database to the interface. You can see my live platforms on my references page.
Together we decide what the product will do and what it won't do in the first version. The most common mistake is trying to cram everything into version one.
User types, permissions and core flows are mapped out, and the database structure is designed around them. Skip this step and the product grinds to a halt six months later.
The user-facing side and the admin panel are designed and built. The admin panel isn't left for later; if you can't manage the product, the product isn't working.
Payment processing, email and any required external service connections are set up. Failed-payment and cancellation scenarios are tested separately.
Server setup, SSL, security settings, automatic backups and monitoring are configured. Fixes and improvements continue after launch.

Yes, that's how most projects start. I make the technical decisions; all I need from you is to explain how your business works. We define the scope together and decide together what goes into the first version and what doesn't.
The technology is chosen to fit the project, not decided in advance. What matters is what the product will do, how many people will use it, where it will be hosted and who will maintain it later. I don't pick technology because it's trendy.
Yes. I set up one-time payments and recurring subscription billing, including trial periods, cancellations and failed-payment scenarios. The payment provider is chosen based on your target country, currency and business model.
I can keep going, or I can hand it over to your own team, whichever you prefer. In a handover, the code, database structure and server setup are documented, so whoever takes over the product doesn't have to figure it out from scratch.
Yes, but I need to review it first. With inherited projects, the real issue isn't code quality but how healthy the data structure is. After the review, I tell you plainly what can be fixed and what needs to be rewritten.

Tell me briefly what you want to build, and we'll work out the scope together.
