Step 3 No-code tool practice environment tailored for ages 40-60

Problem

People in their 50s-60s want to learn no-code/low-code tools (Notion, Google Sheets automation, chatbot builders, etc.), but existing courses target 20-30 year olds with fast pacing and irrelevant examples. When stuck following YouTube tutorials, there is nowhere to ask questions, and offline training costs 200,000-500,000 KRW (~$150-$375) per session. They end up thinking 'this isn't for me' and give up, or remain stuck at a beginner level.

Solution

On a web Platform, users select 'no-code projects tailored to my situation' (e.g., alumni group dues management sheet, small shop reservation system, family schedule sharing board) and receive step-by-step guided tutorials. Each step includes screenshots with 'click here'-level detailed instructions, producing a usable end result upon completion. A peer Q&A forum connects users working on the same projects within their age group.

Target: Aged 50-60, basic digital literacy (smartphone/PC proficiency), motivated to learn new tools, looking to apply no-code for work or hobbies

Revenue Model: 3 beginner projects free. Advanced project packs at 9,900 KRW each (~$7.50 each), monthly new project Subscription at 7,900 KRW/month (~$6/month)
