Django
Membership platform for a
global remote-work community

The client
A global community for remote workers, entrepreneurs, and creatives who took work and life beyond traditional borders. Swapps partnered with them to build the digital home for that community.
The challenge
- Value was spread across disconnected tools: payments in one place, schedules in another, documents and conversations elsewhere.
- Members and hosts needed a single space where community, content, and logistics came together.
- Paying for a retreat or membership had to unlock the right access automatically, with no manual administration.
The solution
- Custom Django platform to manage members and their access to every experience.
- Three offering types (retreats, programs, memberships), each with its own space and content feed.
- Stripe subscriptions granted and revoked access based on real-time payment status.
- Content feeds (assignments, recordings, live sessions, office hours, announcements) with member comments.
- Each product connected to its Google Calendar, shared Google Docs, and Slack channel.
- Rich member profiles (location, time zone, "gifts" & "wishes") and a member directory.
Tech We Used
