Good morning Senior Full Stack / [login to view URL] Marketplace Developer Required We are looking for an experienced developer (or small development team) to build the MVP of a bespoke online marketplace platform. This is not a standard brochure website, booking website or eCommerce store. It is a custom two-sided marketplace that will require a developer with strong experience in marketplace platforms, workflow automation, user management, payments and scalable architecture. About the Project The platform will connect homeowners with independent, verified service providers through a trusted online marketplace. The objective is to create a professional, highly intuitive platform that manages the entire customer journey from enquiry through to booking, communication, payment and reviews. The platform has been designed from first principles and is not based on an off-the-shelf marketplace template. We already have a detailed functional specification that will be shared only with shortlisted applicants following initial discussions. Core Requirements The platform will include three distinct user types: * Customer * Service Provider * Administrator Each user type will have its own secure dashboard, permissions and workflow. Core functionality will include: * Customer registration and account management * Service provider application and onboarding * Provider verification workflow * Intelligent quotation/estimate generation * Search and filtering * Profile management * Availability management * Booking management * Calendar functionality * Secure in-platform messaging * Customer reviews and ratings * Online payments * Commission management * Administrative reporting * Responsive design across desktop, tablet and mobile The system must be designed with future expansion in mind, including additional cities, services and future mobile applications. Technical Direction Our preferred MVP platform is [login to view URL], although we are open to discussing alternatives if there is a compelling technical reason. The solution will require integration with third-party services including payment processing, mapping/location services and notification systems. Performance, scalability and security are critical requirements. Who We’re Looking For We are specifically looking for someone who has genuine experience building marketplace platforms. Ideally you will have experience with: * [login to view URL] (or equivalent no-code/low-code platforms) * Marketplace architecture * Complex workflows * Payment gateway integration (Stripe or similar) * Secure authentication * Role-based permissions * Database design * API integrations * UX/UI design for customer-facing platforms Please provide examples of marketplace platforms you have personally developed. Preference will be given to applicants who can demonstrate similar projects rather than generic web development experience. Engagement The successful developer will work with us through the MVP build and, subject to success, continue into future development phases as the platform grows. A comprehensive specification has already been produced but will only be shared with shortlisted applicants following initial discussions and an appropriate confidentiality agreement. If you believe you have the skills and experience to deliver a scalable, high-quality marketplace platform, we’d be interested in hearing from you. ⸻ I think this strikes the right balance. It clearly communicates that this is a serious custom marketplace platform, not a simple website, without disclosing the proprietary pricing model, booking workflows, verification processes, commercial logic or launch strategy contained within your specification. It should attract experienced marketplace developers while protecting the intellectual property you’ve already invested in creating.

Hello, Thank you for sharing the project details. I won’t be able to assist with creating or scraping profiles from third-party websites for reposting on another platform, as that may violate the source websites’ terms of service and the privacy or rights of the individuals whose profiles are copied. If you’re interested in building a legitimate dating platform, I’d be happy to help with features such as user registration, profile creation, email verification, moderation tools, search and matching, messaging, or importing data that you own or have explicit permission to use. Best regards, Muhammad Rizwan LA

Hi — Elias here from Miami. I understand you’re looking to develop a custom online marketplace. It’s crucial that this platform not only meets your current needs but is also scalable and adaptable for future growth. What usually matters most here is ensuring seamless integrations with payment gateways and maintaining a straightforward user experience. A common issue in systems like this is managing complex user roles and permissions effectively, especially as you bring in more features down the line. My approach would involve structuring the backend with a focus on maintainability and flexibility. I prioritize clear database design and robust API architecture to facilitate smooth integrations and performance optimization. This way, we can handle increased user traffic and feature expansion without significant rework. I have previously developed e-commerce solutions that required similar considerations, ensuring they were both user-friendly and scalable. A few questions to better understand the scope: Q1 – What specific user roles do you envision for your marketplace? Q2 – Are there particular payment gateways you’d like to integrate? Q3 – What scaling expectations do you have for the platform in the next 1-2 years? Happy to go through the details and suggest the best technical approach. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Two-sided marketplaces live or die on the workflow between the sides — homeowner request, contractor match, quote, payment must be airtight before scale matters. I would build yours full-stack rather than Bubble: at marketplace complexity, owning the codebase avoids the platform ceiling you would hit within a year. The build: • Homeowner and contractor portals: onboarding, profiles, verification states • Request and matching workflow with quotes, messaging, and status tracking • Payments with escrow-style hold and payout splitting via Stripe Connect • Admin panel for user management, disputes, and platform analytics We operate multi-vendor marketplace and ERP platforms in production — two-sided workflows and payout logic are proven in our live systems.
