Models Platform: a content platform with a built-in store

The project needed a platform where models' content could be shown and sold in one place. Usually the showcase and the store are built separately, and visitors get lost between sites before they buy. Every jump to another site with a different look lowers trust and the chance that a person pays.

The second requirement was search traffic. Good-looking sites built on client-side JavaScript often load slowly and get indexed poorly, which means they miss out on free visitors from Google.

Age verification was also needed, since the content is for adults. All of this had to fit together while the site stayed fast and kept its look.

I built the platform on Next.js with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, using Turbopack during development. Pages are rendered on the server, so the search engine gets ready text right away and visitors see the page sooner. Turbopack speeds up builds during development, so changes get to testing faster.

I combined the content showcase and the store into one product. For payments I connected Stripe, so buying doesn't send the visitor off to a third-party site with a different look.

Age verification sits at the entrance. I made the design premium but light, so it doesn't slow down loading.
