CASE STUDY
How Maja kept her business — and stopped renting the system around it.
Maja Dollas already had courses, members, digital products, booking and email flows. But her platform costs kept rising as her business grew.
Instead of starting over, her setup was moved into an owned WordPress-based system — so she could keep her customers, courses, memberships, emails and flows while reducing the monthly platform cost.
Courses, members, booking and emails lived inside expensive platform subscriptions.
A WordPress-based system she could own, keep improving and grow inside.
THE PROBLEM
Her business was growing — and so was the rent around it.
Maja had built a real business with courses, members, digital products, booking and email flows. But the platform around the business charged more as her list grew.
When her audience reached around 2,500 contacts, her monthly platform rent increased to roughly $215 per month. The more the business grew, the more she had to pay just to keep access to the system around it.
That created the real problem: growth should not automatically mean paying more rent for the same foundation.

THE TURNING POINT
She already had the business. The problem was the system around it.
Maja was not starting from zero. She had built a real business with courses, members, digital products, automated emails and booking.
But the setup around the business had become expensive and frustrating. Her WordPress site already existed, but it was not being used as the active foundation. The most important parts of the business lived inside rented platforms instead.
When the monthly platform cost increased because her list had grown, it became the final push to rethink the setup.
THE MOVE
The goal was not to rebuild her business. It was to move the foundation.
Maja did not need to throw away what she had already built. Her customers, courses, memberships, emails and flows were part of the business — and they needed to come with her.
The work was about moving the important pieces into a WordPress-based setup she could own, use and grow from. That meant keeping the business logic intact while replacing the rented platform dependency around it.
Instead of asking Maja to become technical, the system was shaped around how she already worked.
THE RESULT
Maja kept what mattered — and removed the expensive platform dependency.
The result was not just a cheaper setup. It was a clearer foundation she could own, understand and continue building on without feeling locked into one expensive platform.
