I want to launch a fully-functioning freelancing marketplace that can immediately start serving a worldwide audience—86 million professionals and counting. The platform should be structured around the Freelancer role only; clients will not maintain their own accounts at this first stage. Instead, projects and payments will be initiated by me on behalf of hiring companies, while independent professionals create profiles, showcase portfolios and accept work through the site. Because it is a true marketplace, I expect the usual flow—sign-up, profile management, project matching, secure payment handling, dispute resolution, basic analytics—yet I am open to your expert recommendations on exactly which modules we should prioritise for a smooth MVP launch. Robust, scalable architecture (Laravel, Node.js or equivalent), a modern front-end framework (React, Vue or similar) and straightforward API documentation are all essential so that we can iterate quickly after go-live. Once delivered I will test: • a new freelancer can register, verify identity and complete a public profile; • I can post a job internally, assign it to a freelancer and trigger payment milestones; • funds move seamlessly from integrated gateway to escrow and then to the freelancer’s wallet upon approval; • the UI remains responsive (sub-two-second page loads) under a simulated load of 10,000 concurrent users. Give me a timeline, your recommended tech stack and any previous marketplace builds you can reference, and let’s get this global talent hub online.
