Challenge
The client aimed to build a custom SaaS platform for creators that would allow them to publish and monetize visual content without the limitations of traditional social media platforms. The key challenge was not just creating a website builder, but ensuring strong protection of intellectual property — a critical concern for photographers and videographers sharing high-value content online.
Another major challenge was developing a reliable system to prevent and track unauthorized content distribution. At the same time, the platform needed to support flexible monetization models (subscriptions and pay-per-view), provide a seamless user experience for both creators and subscribers, and remain scalable for future growth.

Solution
Brights developed a full-featured SaaS platform tailored specifically to creators’ workflows. The core of the solution was a custom website builder that allows users to easily create and manage content galleries, customize layouts, and connect their own domains.
To address the primary challenge of content protection, we implemented a per-user digital watermarking system through IMATAG integration. This solution embeds unique, invisible watermarks into each media file, enabling content tracking and identification of unauthorized distribution via an admin dashboard.
For monetization, we integrated Stripe and Stripe Connect to enable subscription-based access (monthly, semi-annual, annual) as well as pay-per-view functionality through locked content. Creators can manage pricing, control access, and track performance metrics such as MRR through a dedicated admin panel.
The platform was built on scalable AWS infrastructure, ensuring reliability and performance. Additional features included content discovery, tagging, secure authentication (including 2FA), NDA options for subscribers, and personalized communication tools.
