Development of a Scalable Video Content Platform for Non-Profit Organizations

Non-profit organizations face limitations in showcasing their video content effectively due to budget constraints, technical infrastructure demands, and the need for secure, members-only access. They often rely on external platforms like social media for sharing content, which hampers direct audience engagement and control over proprietary material.

A consortium of nonprofit organizations seeking to enhance their online engagement through a dedicated video content platform, including live streaming and on-demand access.

• Create a centralized, engaging website platform to host on-demand and live video streams, increasing online traffic and engagement.
• Implement seamless integration with existing content and infrastructure, supporting both prerecorded and live event streaming.
• Ensure content security by enabling members-only access through Single Sign-On authentication.
• Leverage third-party video hosting solutions to optimize server load and infrastructure costs, supporting high volumes of traffic.
• Deliver the platform within a tight budget and timeline (less than one month), focusing on scalability and future-proofing.
• Cultivate an effective content strategy to foster organic web traffic and strengthen online presence.
• Provide a mobile-optimized user experience to maximize accessibility across devices.
