One price for every country
A student in India and a student in Zurich see the same number. You lose the first and underprice the second. Installments and local payment methods are out of reach.
Your course platform does one thing well.
Own everything else.
Payments, accounting, numbers and website, built around the platform you already have. One engineer, fixed prices, pay by card or wire.
Fixed prices. No retainer to start.
The bundle was easy on day one. It is expensive on day one thousand.
Your numbers live in six tabs
Revenue in one tool, subscribers in another, views in a third. Month end means copying numbers into a spreadsheet. Then your accountant asks for the same thing again.
The page builder fights you
Every layout change is a workaround. Your site looks like everyone else's on the same platform. The one thing you want is the one thing it cannot do.
Everything around the course player
The course player stays where it is. Moving it is hard and rarely worth it. The four pieces around it are where the money and the freedom are.
Payments on your terms
Stripe connected to your platform. Prices per country, installments, local payment methods, coupons that behave. Students pay the way they are used to paying.
Accounting that closes itself
Every sale, refund and fee matched into your accounting system automatically. Month end is a glance, not a weekend. Your accountant gets clean books without asking you for exports.
One place for your numbers
YouTube, LinkedIn, newsletter, Stripe and every channel with an API, pulled into one dashboard every morning. You see what sells and what is noise.
A website that is yours
A fast site on your own domain, designed for your brand, not the platform's template. Landing pages, waitlists and launches in hours, not support tickets. The course player stays linked behind it.
And sometimes, fewer tools
Owning more does not mean adding more. Part of the work is removing tools a one-person marketing team cannot feed, and lowering the monthly bill while doing it.
Start small. Grow only if the audit earns it.
No retainer on day one. The audit is paid by card. The rest is quoted in writing and paid per milestone, by card or wire.

Six years inside one creator business
Since 2020 I have been the engineering partner of ArjanCodes, a creator business with a large audience, courses, a newsletter and a team of a few people. Not a project. The whole thing, every week.
That means I have made the same calls you are facing: what to keep, what to replace, when to add a tool and when to take one away. Some of those calls I got wrong first. That is the useful part.
Payments
Connected Stripe to Kajabi for prices per country and more ways to pay.
Accounting
Every Stripe transaction matched into the accounting system automatically. No month-end exports.
Numbers
YouTube, LinkedIn, Stripe and more pulled into one set of metrics the team reads every week.
Website
Moved the website off Kajabi to a custom site with far more room to design and launch. Kajabi stayed as the course player.
Fewer tools
Moved the newsletter and forms to a dedicated email tool, then back into Kajabi when a one-person marketing team was spread too thin. Lower bill, less to maintain. Knowing when to undo is part of the job.
Four steps. Each one optional after the last.

Hi, I'm Tim.
I am one engineer, not an agency. For six years I have been the engineering partner of a creator business: the payments, the automations, the numbers, the website, and the hundred small decisions in between.
I take on a small number of creators at a time, two days a week, so each one gets the person who did the work, not a handover. I build complex things as simply as possible. I will tell you when the simple answer is to change nothing.
Based in Antalya, working with clients in Europe and the US.
More about meThe ones everyone asks
- Do I have to leave Kajabi, Teachable or Thinkific?
- No. In most cases you should not. The course player is the part these platforms do well. I build around it and connect to it.
- How do I pay?
- By card on a secure payment page, in EUR. Projects and the care plan can also go by wire, in EUR, USD or GBP. You get a proper invoice every time.
- What do you need from me for the audit?
- Read-only access to your platform, Stripe and analytics, plus one 30 minute call. I never need your passwords.
- What if the audit says everything is fine?
- Then you have a written second opinion and a list of small fixes you can do yourself. That happens, and it is a good outcome.
- Who owns what you build?
- You do. The code, the hosting account, the domain, the Stripe account and the data all sit in your name from day one.
- What if you disappear?
- Everything is documented and in your accounts. Any competent developer can take over from the handover notes. That is the point of owning it.
