I am creating an online, service-based marketplace devoted entirely to freelance work and I need the full platform engineered from the ground up. Users must be able to sign up as either clients or freelancers, post or bid on projects, communicate through an internal chat, and complete secure payments held in escrow. Once a job is finished, the built-in rating and review system you develop will let both parties share feedback that displays on each profile. I want clean, modern code, a responsive interface that feels as smooth on mobile as it does on desktop, and an admin dashboard where I can manage categories, fees, disputes, and payout requests. You are free to choose the tech stack you’re most productive with—Laravel, Django, Node + React, or a comparable framework—as long as it is well-documented and easy to maintain. Deliverables • Fully functional web application deployed to production • Source code with clear README and environment setup instructions • Admin panel with user, project, payment, and review management • Comprehensive rating & review workflow tested end-to-end • Basic UI/UX design assets and brand-ready styling Acceptance will be based on successful user registration, project posting, bidding, payment, completion, and mutual review cycles working flawlessly in a staging environment, then again after deployment to the live server.
