Skellywags Club is the home base for content creator OfficiallySkelly. A multi-page custom build with merch storefront, three membership tiers, Discord integration, a live YouTube feed, stream schedule, email capture, and full legal docs. All in one operator's sprint.
Skelly was running a fast-growing Twitch + YouTube channel through a scattered set of third-party tools: a Linktree, a Streamlabs merch shop, a Patreon, a Discord invite link, and a Google Doc with the stream schedule. The audience was clicking through five different brands to support him.
The brief was simple: one URL, his identity, his rules. Every revenue stream and community channel surfaced from a single page, with a coherent design and no third-party chrome.
Rather than stitch the existing tools together, I rebuilt the surface as a custom-coded multi-page site and wired it directly to the platforms underneath. The audience never leaves the brand. But every action still lands in the right system.
Skelly already monetizes through Fourthwall for merch and YouTube for memberships. Adding Stripe + a custom auth surface would have meant replacing two platforms that already work and babysitting a payouts pipeline. The site stays a brand hub. Zero auth code in the repo. Zero payment SDK.
Considered: Stripe Checkout direct, Memberful, in-site gated content with NextAuth
Content lives as JSON and Markdown in the repo. Pages CMS gives Skelly a one-login dashboard; behind it, every edit is a git commit and Vercel rebuilds in about 60 seconds. Full version history, free, no SaaS bill that compounds with usage.
Considered: Sanity, Contentful, raw GitHub editing
A theme.json drives accent colors and the active typeface; Tailwind tokens read from CSS variables. Skelly can rebrand from the CMS without a dev. The original fallback fonts (Bebas, Nunito, Bangers) load with preload disabled, skipping about 313KiB of unused woff2 per page and trimming LCP by roughly half a second on mobile.
Considered: Hardcoded design tokens, eager-loading every fallback font
Skellywags Club shipped on time, on a domain Skelly owns, on hosting in his name, with the source code handed off. The audience now has a single destination that matches the brand they already follow. And Skelly has a system he can grow into without renegotiating with five different SaaS vendors.
