Website for the Greek community of Saint Petersburg
The official digital platform of the Greek community of Saint Petersburg: event announcements, an events archive, membership and members-only content for subscribers
Challenge
Build a platform that processes subscriber payments automatically: once a payment is made, the subscriber is granted access to members-only content and can ask the community questions. It also had to let the community publish news and photos from its events.
Solution
I built a platform with a user account, subscription payments and automatic access to members-only content. After a successful payment the payment gateway sends a webhook, and the system immediately opens the materials and the community to the subscriber. I added an admin panel for publishing news and event photos, a moderated questions section and access control at the API level. Quality was verified with functional and payment tests, access-rights checks, load testing and UAT with the client.
Result
Access opens automatically within seconds of payment — no manual work. An admin publishes a news item or photos in 2–3 minutes. Subscribers get content right away and can ask questions, which raises engagement and reduces the load on support.
