CheerSports NZ Livestream Platform Development

We are looking for an experienced web developer/team to create a branded online streaming platform for our cheerleading events under CheerSports New Zealand.

The goal is to create a professional pay-per-view (PPV) livestream portal similar to Varsity TV, where customers can purchase access to watch our competitions live and on replay.

The website should have a premium, modern, sports-media feel and integrate with our existing event workflow.

* similar feel to ESPN / major sports streaming platforms

2. Pay Per View System

Each event page should include:
