The Challenge Of Project

In addition to content and social media support, ZMan needed a functional, cost-effective website to promote and fund his short film. The website had to serve two key purposes:

1. Accept donations from supporters and fans

2. Enable the sale of custom merchandise (hoodies, hats, t-shirts, and pants) without requiring a large upfront investment in design or e-commerce infrastructure.

Services Delivered

• Custom-built website with a clean, modern layout reflecting ZMan’s brand

• Donation functionality using secure, easy-to-use payment gateways (e.g., PayFast, PayPal)

• Integrated print-on-demand solution for apparel sales (no inventory costs)

• Minimalist merch designs created in-house to reduce design expenses

• Mobile-optimized, SEO-ready, and easy to update

Impact

• ZMan was able to raise funds directly through his website to support film production

• Launched an online store with zero upfront stock costs

• Fans had a direct way to support and engage with the project

• Website served as a central hub for updates, donations, and product sales
