Project Summary

A children's television production company hired GLOBALDEV (formerly SteelKiwi) to build a scalable, Django/Python-based membership platform to monetize and deliver video, games, and interactive educational content. The vendor developed custom functionality including user and payment systems, launched the site, and executed a major redesign after launch. The platform has operated without downtime and GLOBALDEV continues to provide ongoing support and follow-up projects.

  • Monetize the content through a membership service
  • Build a scalable platform that makes it easy to keep content fresh
  • Implement an easy-to-use user management system and payment system
  • Achieve goals as a bootstrapped small startup needing best-in-class developers

Project Deliverables

  • Custom Django/Python web platform
  • Membership site
  • Payment-system integration

  • Content management for regular updates
  • Visual redesign and UI updates
  • Ongoing maintenance and support
