Proetutor

A scalable LMS with secure video streaming, subscription billing, student dashboards, and admin tooling typically ranges from $25,000 to $70,000. A legacy rebuild adds scope — data migration, feature parity verification, and performance tuning — but the performance and SEO gains usually justify the investment. A slow LMS that ranks poorly is losing organic course enrollments every day.

Bunny Stream delivers video via HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) with token-based signed URLs. The video isn't a file at a static URL — it's a stream assembled from segments, each served with a short-lived signed token. Direct file access returns nothing. This is the standard approach for any LMS that charges for video content — unprotected video URLs are effectively public.

The Proetutor rebuild went from a legacy Laravel system with poor Core Web Vitals to a 97 Lighthouse performance score. The specific gains: SSR means course pages are fully rendered HTML on first load (critical for SEO), Bunny CDN delivers video and assets from edge nodes near the user, and the frontend was built with LCP and CLS targets defined before a component was written. Performance was a constraint on the architecture, not an afterthought.

Subscription-based access (recurring monthly or yearly billing), lifetime course purchase (one-time payment for permanent access), and free course publishing. All three are manageable from the admin panel. The billing architecture is designed so adding a new monetization model doesn't require schema changes.

Eight to sixteen weeks for a full migration from Laravel/Bootstrap to Next.js with feature parity, performance optimization, and data migration. The range depends on how much of the legacy data needs transformation, how many edge cases exist in the existing course content model, and whether new features are in scope alongside the rebuild.
