Creative Community Platform Development -- 2

I’m building Skillinspire, a community-driven space centred on creative careers where workshops are the heartbeat of all interaction. The idea is simple: give designers, writers, filmmakers, musicians and every other creative professional a dedicated hub to connect, learn and share opportunities, then let live and recorded workshops carry most of the conversation.

Here’s what I need help with:

• A clean, responsive web platform (mobile-first) that lets members create profiles, browse upcoming workshops, register or pay for a seat, and network afterward through comments or quick messages.
• A workshop management console on the organiser side: schedule sessions, upload materials, host live video, and archive recordings automatically for on-demand viewing.
• Discovery features so users can filter events by discipline, experience level or language and receive personalised suggestions.
• Basic community tools—likes, follows, and a simple portfolio showcase—to keep returning engagement high.
• Solid, secure foundations (user authentication, payments, GDPR-compliant data handling) ready to scale when traffic grows.

I’m language-agnostic as long as the stack is modern, maintainable and plays nicely with common video APIs. Show me how you’d break down milestones, the tech you prefer, and a link to something similar you’ve already shipped so I can feel confident we’re speaking the same creative language.
