What I Did
- I designed and developed the Stocks With Josh platform using Framer, creating a high-conversion membership site for a trading education community with seamless Whop payment integration and Discord access automation.
- I implemented a premium dark-themed design with strategic scarcity indicators and tiered pricing architecture that emphasizes exclusivity while clearly communicating value propositions across both membership levels.
- I built custom onboarding flows with embedded video tutorials, FAQ systems, and compliance disclaimers that guide new members from purchase to Discord community access while maintaining trust and transparency.
Achievements
- The website successfully established Stocks With Josh as a premium trading education brand, positioning "Chart GOAT University" as an exclusive, members-only community that leverages scarcity psychology and tiered value propositions to drive high-intent conversions.
- The Framer implementation achieved seamless integration between Whop's payment infrastructure and Discord community access, creating an automated onboarding pipeline that reduced manual administrative work while maintaining security and member verification protocols.
- The project transformed a YouTube presence of 158k+ subscribers into a monetized membership platform with clear conversion pathways, effectively bridging the gap between free educational content and premium community access with minimal technical friction.
- The tiered membership architecture with real-time availability counters and progressive feature disclosure successfully communicates value differentiation, creating natural upgrade paths from the $49.99 Apprentice tier to the $100 VIP Loyalist level.
- The design balances conversion optimization with compliance requirements, incorporating necessary financial disclaimers and scam warnings without compromising the premium brand positioning or user experience flow.
- The project was delivered efficiently within the Framer ecosystem, enabling rapid deployment of a sophisticated membership platform that would traditionally require custom development, while maintaining flexibility for ongoing optimization based on conversion data and member feedback.
