Community web build with social forum.

Hi,

I’m looking for a quote and guidance on building a new website and community platform.

This is a start-up focused on support services, centred around peer-to-peer support, with a commercial model developing into paid services.

The MVP (required from day 1) must include: • Course reselling (LMS integration) • In-house social network/community • Podcast integration (RSS feed with embedded player) • Webinars (live and/or recorded capability)

What I’m looking for:

• Migration/rebuild of an existing Wix site onto WordPress (or a better-suited platform if recommended) • Setup and connection of my domain, including branded email setup • Implementation of a community/social network (BuddyBoss, FluentCommunity or similar

• open to recommendations) • LMS integration for selling or hosting courses. • Podcast RSS integration so episodes can be played directly on the site • Webinar capability (either native or integrated with a third-party platform)

Admin requirements (important): I need a simple, user-friendly system; • Publish and manage articles/blog content • Update landing page sections (especially a “What’s New” type feed)

Key requirement: The platform must be easy for me to self-manage day-to-day without ongoing developer reliance.

I’m looking for:

Cost for initial MVP build

Estimated timeline

Recommended platform/tech stack (particularly for community)

Ongoing support options (hourly/day rate)

The priority is to launch a clean, functional MVP quickly, but with the correct foundations to scale.

Budget: GBP 508 (Fixed Price)
