The Problem
Andy Hurley wanted a scalable membership website to support A Level poetry students and educators
The content is built around expert-led video seminars and supporting resources
Andy brings over 30 years of teaching and examining experience, so the platform needed to reflect that authority
The Challenge
Create a subscription model that works for both individual students and institutions with different needs
Make content management simple enough to add new seminars and resources without technical expertise
Deliver member-only video seminars and resources in a way that feels smooth across devices
“Scalable, intuitive and tailored to grow with the needs of its users”
What we built
We designed the platform around flexible access and clean content delivery, keeping the admin experience simple so the site can grow without friction.
- WordPress build with Paid Memberships Pro for subscriptions and access control
- Custom subscription tiers from basic access through to all-inclusive packages
- Institution-friendly membership options to support schools and teachers
- Dynamic content delivery for video seminars, resources and supporting materials

- A robust membership website built to grow with new content
- Flexible subscriptions that cater to both individuals and institutions
- An intuitive setup that lets the client manage updates without relying on a developer
