Project Overview We are building BINS APP, a fast-growing, nationwide dumpster rental marketplace—an on-demand platform connecting customers, contractors, and businesses with local dumpster operators. We are seeking a highly experienced full-stack JavaScript developer or development team to redesign our website and fully integrate it with our existing mobile app backend and APIs. This is not a basic website project. This is a full platform build-out that must match the functionality, performance, and user experience of our mobile application while introducing a robust desktop-based dispatch and management system. Our current platform can be reviewed at: www.binsapp.ai Scope of Work 1. Website Redesign (UI/UX) Modern, clean, technology-focused design comparable to leading platforms such as Uber, DoorDash, and Airbnb Mobile-first design with full desktop optimization Fast load speeds and smooth, responsive interactions Strong brand alignment (BINS APP color scheme and identity) Conversion-focused layout with clear calls to action and streamlined booking flow 2. Full Platform Integration (Critical Requirement) Integrate existing BINS APP APIs into the website Ensure full synchronization between mobile app and website Replicate core app functionality on web, including: Dumpster booking and checkout Location-based search (address/GPS) Pricing display and dumpster selection Scheduling (delivery and pickup) Add-ons (insurance, protection plans) User authentication (login/register) Order tracking and status updates The goal is a single unified platform with real-time data across all devices. 3. Dispatch System (Desktop Command Center) Develop a web-based operations dashboard for internal use and vendors, including: Live job tracking with map integration Driver assignment and job routing Multi-user access (owners, dispatchers, drivers) Order lifecycle management (active, completed, canceled) Real-time updates and notifications Optional messaging or communication system 4. Vendor / Operator Portal Dumpster owner onboarding and account setup Ability to list and manage dumpsters Set pricing and availability Accept or decline jobs Track earnings and performance Support for multiple drivers and devices 5. Payment Integration Stripe (or equivalent) integration Split payment system (platform fees and operator payouts) Add-on monetization (insurance, protection products) 6. SEO and Performance Optimization SEO-ready architecture (clean structure, metadata, schema) High-performance frontend (optimized loading and rendering) Lighthouse performance and SEO scores targeting 90+ Mobile-friendly and fully responsive across devices 7. Additional Features (Preferred) Admin analytics dashboard Referral or promotional code system Email and push notification systems Scalable architecture to support nationwide expansion Ability to support future verticals (e.g., junk removal, tree services) Technical Requirements Strong experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Next.js, Node.js) Experience building marketplace or logistics platforms API integration experience (REST or GraphQL) Experience with real-time systems and dashboards Familiarity with geolocation and mapping tools (Google Maps or similar) Strong UI/UX implementation skills Project Goal To build a high-performance, scalable web platform that mirrors and enhances our mobile app, creating a seamless experience for: Customers booking dumpsters Operators fulfilling jobs Dispatch teams managing operations Budget Open to proposals (fixed price or milestone-based). We are looking for experienced professionals capable of executing at a high level. To Apply Please include: Relevant portfolio (especially marketplace, logistics, or SaaS platforms) Recommended tech stack Estimated timeline Any suggestions to improve the platform architecture or user experience This is a long-term opportunity with potential for continued development and expansion as BINS APP scales nationwide. Frontend Next.js (React) This should power the website and desktop portal. Why: fast SEO-friendly scalable perfect for web dashboards and landing pages Mobile App If your app is already built, keep the current framework unless it’s a mess. If starting fresh, I’d lean: React Native because it stays in the JS ecosystem and makes web/app alignment easier. Backend Best options: Option A — Best overall Node.js + NestJS This is what I’d recommend for BINS APP if you want a serious backend. Why: structured scalable good for APIs better than a messy plain Express app Option B — Simpler Node.js + Express Good, but only if the dev is disciplined. Otherwise it gets sloppy fast. Database PostgreSQL Not MySQL if you can avoid it. Why: stronger for complex platform logic better for scaling better for reporting, enterprise accounts, dispatch data Real-Time Features Socket.io or WebSockets For: live dispatch updates driver assignment order status changes notifications Maps / Geolocation Google Maps API For: address autocomplete routing live map tracking distance calculations Authentication JWT + refresh tokens Single sign-on across web + app. If you want more enterprise-grade auth later: Auth0 or Clerk Payments Stripe No question. For: customer payments operator payouts split payments recurring/commercial billing Admin / Analytics For dashboards: build in Next.js use Chart.js or Recharts Hosting / Infrastructure Vercel for frontend AWS or Railway / Render for backend depending on budget If you want stronger long-term infrastructure: Frontend: Vercel Backend: AWS Database: AWS RDS PostgreSQL File Storage AWS S3 For: photos documents invoices proof-of-delivery uploads Notifications Twilio for SMS SendGrid or Postmark for email SEO / Content Because SEO is a must: Next.js static / server-side rendered city pages structured schema markup blog/news/resources section My recommended full stack for BINS APP Frontend: Next.js Mobile: React Native Backend: Node.js + NestJS Database: PostgreSQL Real-Time: Socket.io Payments: Stripe Maps: Google Maps API Storage: AWS S3 SMS/Email: Twilio + SendGrid Hosting: Vercel + AWS What I would avoid WordPress for the main platform PHP/Laravel unless your dev team is much stronger there Firebase as the whole backend for something this operationally complex separate web and app backends MySQL if you expect heavy reporting and enterprise workflows
