We're building a video-based online course platform (similar to Udemy/Teachable model) where each course can have its own subscription/pricing plan. We need an experienced full-stack developer or agency to design and build the platform end-to-end, including a learner-facing website, an admin/CMS dashboard for course management, secure video delivery, authentication, and subscription billing. We are open to your recommended tech stack — please propose the stack you believe is best suited for performance, security, and cost-efficiency, along with your reasoning. Core Requirements 1. Authentication & User Management Secure sign-up/login (email + social login), password reset, email verification Role-based access: Admin, Instructor, Student Session/token-based auth (JWT or managed auth provider) 2. Course Structure Courses → Sections → Lectures (video, quizzes, downloadable resources) Progress tracking per student (resume playback, completion %, certificates) Course catalog with search/filter/categories 3. Video Hosting & Delivery Secure video upload and processing (adaptive bitrate streaming — HLS/DASH, not raw MP4) Protection against unauthorized downloading/sharing (signed URLs, optional DRM/watermarking) Fast playback across devices/bandwidths 4. Subscription & Payments Per-course subscription model (students can subscribe/pay per individual course, not just one global plan) Support for monthly/annual plans, free trials, coupons Integration with a payment gateway (e.g., Stripe or regional equivalent) Automated access revocation on failed payment/cancellation 5. Admin / CMS Dashboard Course creation and management (drag-and-drop content builder) Bulk video upload with processing status Pricing/plan management per course User and enrollment management, refunds Basic analytics: revenue, enrollments, watch time, completion rates 6. Performance & Infrastructure Optimized for fast page loads and smooth video streaming (CDN-backed) Scalable architecture that can grow from a few hundred to many thousands of users Secure, GDPR-conscious data handling What We Need in Your Proposal Please include the following so we can evaluate your approach: Recommended tech stack (frontend, backend, database, video hosting/streaming solution, hosting/cloud provider) with brief reasoning for your choices. Proposed architecture — how you'd handle video transcoding/delivery and subscription/entitlement logic. Project timeline — broken into phases/milestones (e.g., auth & course catalog, video pipeline, payments, admin dashboard, testing/launch), with estimated duration for each. Budget — fixed-price quote (preferred) broken down by milestone, or hourly rate with estimated total hours. Please specify what's included vs. considered out of scope. Infrastructure/hosting cost estimate (monthly, at MVP scale) separate from your development fee, since services like video CDN/transcoding have ongoing costs. Relevant experience — links to similar projects you've built (course platforms, video streaming apps, or subscription-based SaaS products). Team composition — if agency, who will be assigned (roles, seniority), and your typical communication/reporting process. Post-launch support — availability for bug fixes, maintenance, or ongoing feature development after initial delivery. Nice-to-Have Skills Experience with video DRM/anti-piracy solutions Experience with Stripe Billing or similar subscription billing systems Experience optimizing web performance and SEO Prior work on e-learning/EdTech platforms Engagement Details Project type: [Fixed price / Hourly — specify your preference] Estimated duration: [Fill in if you have a target, or leave open for bidders to propose] Start date: [ASAP / specific date] Communication: [Weekly calls, async updates via Slack/email, etc.] How to Apply Please respond with your proposal covering the points above, along with 2–3 examples of similar past work. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a call to discuss the architecture in more detail.

Hello! I understand you need a video course platform with subscriptions, similar to Udemy/Teachable. I'll build the full platform — user authentication, course structure (courses → sections → lectures), progress tracking, admin dashboard, subscription/payment integration (Stripe), and a clean learner-facing website. The tech stack would be React + Node.js with PostgreSQL for performance and scalability. For an Indian EdTech platform, cost-efficiency and scalability are critical. I can deliver the complete web application and CMS. However, I should be upfront — video hosting (transcoding, HLS/DASH, CDN, DRM) requires specialized expertise. I can integrate with existing video services (Vimeo, Wistia, Mux) but cannot build the video pipeline from scratch. Let's discuss in more detail now.

Hello, I understand you are looking to develop a video course platform with subscription plans, encompassing learner and admin interfaces, secure video delivery, and subscription management. The main technical challenge is ensuring seamless video streaming across devices while maintaining robust authentication and payment systems. To tackle this, I would prioritize a scalable architecture with CDN-backed performance and JWT-based authentication for security. My experience includes building similar systems with a focus on user management, content delivery, and payment integration. A few questions to better understand the scope: Do you have a preferred tech stack in mind? Is there an existing database structure for user/course data? Happy to discuss the details and suggest the best technical approach. Best regards, Hoang Van Phi
