Can it be web and mobile?

Yes. We build web apps, iOS apps, Android apps, or all three. We have built marketplaces across all of them.

How do payments work between the two sides?

We set up a payment provider and the money flow to suit your marketplace. The exact provider and fees depend on your country and your model — we work that out in the Scoping Sprint.

✦Example Scenario

A marketplace that connects two sides.

Buyers and sellers, or customers and providers, meeting and doing business in one place.

This is an example of what we could build with you — not a past client.

Who this is for

You have an idea for a marketplace — a place where one group offers something and another group books or buys it. You want it on the web, on phones, or both, without hiring a tech team.

✦The Problem Today

What gets in the way right now.

Two sides to serve: the people offering something, and the people looking for it. Both need a reason to come back.

Payments, messaging and trust between strangers are hard to get right, and risky to get wrong.

Off-the-shelf tools don't fit your niche, so you end up stitching together things that don't talk to each other.

✦What We Would Build

The pieces that make it work.

✓Listings that providers or sellers can create, with photos and the details that matter in your niche.

✓Search and browsing, so the other side can find what they need quickly.

✓In-app messaging between the two sides, so deals happen inside your product.

✓Payments, with the money flow set up to suit how your marketplace works.

✓Accounts and profiles for both sides, with reviews or ratings if you want them.

✓An admin area for you to see activity, handle problems and keep things running.

✦How It Works With Us

A prototype first, then a fixed-price build.

Scoping Sprint

1 week · $1,500

We turn your idea into a clickable prototype, a technical plan and a fixed quote. If you build with us, the $1,500 is credited to your project.

Fixed-price build

8–12 weeks · $10,000–$15,000

We build in short steps. Every week you see a working demo. The scope and the price do not change unless you ask for something new.

Launch and handover

You own everything

We launch, document the app and hand it over. You own 100% of the code, and we agree the support you need after launch.

✦What You Provide

Three small things from you.

✓A clear idea of the two sides and what each one gets.

✓Any rules that matter in your niche — fees, verification, who can list.

✓One decision-maker available for a weekly demo and feedback.

✦Questions

Questions people ask about this.

Most builds are $10,000–$15,000 at a fixed price. Marketplaces with many features can cost more, and we tell you that before you commit. You get an exact quote after the Scoping Sprint.

Typical stack: a web app and native mobile apps, a secure backend, a database, a payment provider and an admin dashboard.
