Hi, for the past few months, I've been working on a platform to sell e-books, and I plan to include online courses (as videos) later.
I am a full-stack developer, so I created this platform from scratch using the Next.js framework. It functions well, but I believe the design could be improved - I lack UX skills.
Consequently, I'm considering whether I should migrate it to WordPress or Shopify, select a ready-made template, and customize it.
I understand that Shopify is the simplest solution for selling e-books, but I'm uncertain about its capabilities for video courses (people will have to sign in). WordPress, with templates like Thrive Theme or Divi, seems to offer more flexibility for both e-books and courses.
I've read in this forum that many people prefer to develop their own solutions using HTML/CSS/JS, as I have done. But perhaps I'm mistaken.
What would you suggest?
