The Project

How We Built The Scruffy Trader's New Website

Scruff, a YouTuber and forex trader, needed one place to sell his video course, take 1-2-1 bookings and sell his trading downloads, with every member able to find what they own.

(01) The Brief

Scruff (Gary) is a YouTuber and forex trader from County Durham who teaches his own way of trading, the Way of the Scruff, to a growing community through YouTube, Patreon and live Zoom sessions.

He needed a website that brings it all together: selling his video course, taking paid 1-2-1 sessions, selling his trading journals and tools as downloads, and giving every customer one place to find everything they have bought.

(02) What We Did

We redesigned the whole site in Elementor around the journey Scruff wanted people to take: learn the Way of the Scruff, book a 1-2-1, join the Squad and come to the live events. The homepage hero is a code-drawn candlestick chart with four rising candles that lead to each step.

The online video course runs on Masteriyo with 53 video modules and progress tracking, sold through WooCommerce. The 1-2-1 booking system uses LatePoint, so members pick a slot, add extras and pay by card, with each booking going straight into Scruff's Google Calendar. Digital downloads (trading journals and tools) are sold as instant-download products. Every payment runs through Stripe, with PayPal as an option.

We then built a custom account area, My Content. When a member signs in, it shows the course they own with a Continue Course button, their downloads ready to download, and anything they haven't bought yet. Buy Now buttons go straight to a one-page checkout. The site went live without losing a single order, booking or member login from the old site.

(03) The Result

The Scruffy Trader relaunched in September 2026. The course, 1-2-1 bookings and downloads are all sold and paid for in one place, and every member signs in to find everything they own.

New visitors see a clear path from free content to the course, 1-2-1s and the Squad. InfaCloud hosts and looks after the site.
