WordPress Research Platform with Stripe Report Sales and Watermarked PDFs
An independent offshore drilling research firm was publishing on social media, where posts disappear in a day. Institutional investors wanted a credible place to read its research and buy reports, and paid PDFs needed protection from sharing.
SoftDoes built the platform on WordPress with Elementor and custom plugins:
- Mobile-first publishing: articles with charts and maps go live in minutes
- Report catalog with Stripe Checkout for one-time purchases, receipts and order tracking
- Every purchased PDF stamped with the buyer's name, email and purchase time, then emailed
- Member accounts and login, GA4 analytics, and SEO setup (schema, XML sitemap, clean URLs)
- Video walkthroughs, a publishing runbook and a 30-day bug-fix window
Delivered in 4 milestones. Client rating: 5.0.
"Delivered exactly what I requested while also improving on my original design concept... Professional, communicative and easy to work with throughout. Highly recommend." Founder, offshore drilling research firm
