Paywall??

I dont even know what a paywall is

Paywall definition

A pay-walled site is simply a subscription-only site where the users have to pay a fee to access it, or a site where some of the content can only be downloaded after paying a fee. Any web-commerce site is the second form of pay-walled site. A lot of membership organizations use the first form, where the annual membership dues get the member access to the organization's site. It's also used by on-line newspapers, etc., for subscribers, a few of which have actually started to make money again after they put up a paywall.

Hire someone

If your "uncle" has to ask you, and you don't know, you need to hire someone to do it for you.

QnEZ Can Help :)

I will give you some basic Google information for free :)

This can be done fairly easily using software such as:

Often to do this you will need an extra plugin, or the "know how" on how to program it yourself. You will definitely need a web-host that will support running this type of software, specifically a scripting language called PHP.

We offer this type of hosting via our company QnEZ Servers, and have simple installers setup for Drupal, WordPress, Joomla and many other site-management software. They aren't an out-of-the-box solution for what you want, but would put you on the right path.

We could also contract to "do the work for you" for building the pay-wall site, but that would be on a contract basis, with terms to be decided once we have the full spec of what you are trying to achieve, and how you want to achieve it, combined with a timeline for deployment.

If you would like more info on QnEZ or us contracting to build the site, please let me know.
