The challenge

A screenplay competition is a three-sided marketplace: writers submit scripts, readers review them, admins keep the whole pipeline moving. Each side needed its own dashboard with exactly the right data - nothing more, nothing less.

The approach

01

Role-first design

Writers, readers and admins each get a purpose-built dashboard driven by WordPress roles and capabilities.

02

Submission pipeline

Scripts move through defined states — submitted, assigned, reviewed, judged — with every transition tracked and visible to admins.

03

Built on WordPress primitives

Custom post types and meta keep the data queryable and the platform maintainable by any WordPress developer.
