Hi @BlueDreamer thanks for your reply and apologies for the delay responding. I'm glad I was on the right track with Vimeo. I have a basic account with them already that I haven't used yet so will go and investigate further. I've also taken your advice and contacted a local web developer for a quote so hopefully I'm on the right track now. Thanks again Gollum ✌️

Hello 👋and nice to meet you all. I create video tutorials, some of which I make available only to people working in my trade in an attempt to protect the industry somewhat. The ones for the trade I have unlisted on Youtube and have a couple of membership tiers on Patreon to be able to access them. The more simple videos I just post publicly on my Youtube channel for all to see. My channel is monetised. The above method has been the easiest solution for me whilst I built up a body of work but I've always known that whilst they're unlisted on Youtube, it doesn't take a genius to work out that simply sending someone the link will allow them to watch the video for free. So now's the time to find a better solution and the plan has always been to have a simple website with about me, contact/socials, a small amount of product for sale and a video tutorials page (I envisage that some will be greyed out to non trade members). I also need to be able to screen trade member applicants so need a submission form. I'm not unfamiliar with website design but it's been a while and quite frankly I don't have the time so it'll be something I start and never finish I'm sure. So my question is twofold; a) What would you recommend is the best, simplest solution for what I would like, particularly the video paywall aspect? I believe Vimeo may be a better host for the trade videos that need embedding behind a paywall? b) Who would you recommend I approach to build this for me?......... or I'm sure there are people here that could do this sort of thing in their sleep. Many thanks
