Overview
Project overview
Primary Ilm creates Islamic educational worksheets and resources for children aged 4 to 11, used by parents, schools, maktabs and home-schoolers.
I designed and built the platform that turns that content into a membership business. Free registration gives access to sample resources, paid membership unlocks the full library, and the team can keep adding new material themselves.
The challenge and the solution
The challenge
Primary Ilm had a large and growing body of worksheets but no way to monetise them. They also needed a way to control who could download what.
The team also needed to publish new resources regularly without relying on a developer each time.
The solution
I built a membership platform with multiple subscription tiers, integrated payments and a protected resource library organised by topic.
Visitors can register for free to download sample resources, then upgrade to a paid membership for the full library. An admin workflow lets the team upload and organise new resources themselves.

I choose the platform to suit each organisation: WordPress or Shopify when the team wants to manage everything themselves, and custom applications when the workflow needs something built specifically for it.
