I went minimal with a corporate-paper look to reflect the professionalism of the guys who run this business. The site is built on Wordpress so that the client can easily make changes to the site. The client required a custom Paypal order form that allowed subscribers to upload their scripts with ease. In order to achieve this, I opted to use a MySQL database and Paypal’s IPN (Instant Payment Notification) to handle the file submissions. The chart below illustrates how the system works:

As Paypal doesn’t accept file uploads, this setup fills in that gap nicely. After successful payment, the IPN sends out an email with the file submission attached to the people at PitchyourScreenplay. This keeps the whole process simple on both ends: the customer only deals with one form and processing the Paypal payment, while the client is notified via email and can proceed from there. The site requires a paid subscription before users can submit their scripts, but you can view a screenshot of the form here.
