Project description:
"I’m looking to build a high-quality, fully-verified home-services marketplace designed specifically for the New Zealand market.
The goal is to create a trusted, easy-to-use platform that connects homeowners with verified tradies (painters, fencing, electricians, cleaners, gardeners, etc.) while solving the trust and quality issues common on existing platforms like Builderscrack, Airtasker, and Trade Me Services.

The platform will start in Auckland, then scale nationwide after the MVP phase.

⸻
Core Objectives:
• Build a clean, modern, fast web platform (and scalable mobile app later).
• Focus on verified, high-quality tradies rather than mass listings.
• Enable recurring home-care subscriptions (e.g., monthly cleaning/gardening).
• Provide secure booking, reviews, and payment flow (Stripe integration).
• Include trust & safety features like verified profiles, service guarantees, and job-photo proof.

⸻

Main Features (MVP Scope):

1. User (Homeowner) Portal
• Sign up / login (email + Google)
• Browse by service or suburb
• Instant booking or quote request
• In-app messaging with tradies
• Secure payments (Stripe or PayPal)
• Rate & review completed jobs
• Subscription for recurring services (weekly/monthly)

2. Provider (Tradie) Portal
• Sign up + ID/business verification
• Create service listings + pricing
• Accept or reject job requests
• Manage bookings, chat with clients
• Payout tracking and reviews dashboard
• Option for featured listing or premium subscription

3. Admin Panel
• Manage users, listings, and bookings
• Approve / reject tradie profiles
• Analytics dashboard (jobs, revenue, users)
• Dispute resolution and refund tools

⸻
Monetisation Strategy:
• 10 % commission per booking
• Monthly subscription for premium providers (e.g., NZD $50–$100/month)
• Featured listings on homepage
• Optional “verified badge” fee for tradies
• Long-term: introduce insurance/guarantee fee for users

⸻

Tech Preferences (Flexible):
• Frontend: React / [login to view URL] (web), React Native (mobile)
• Backend: Node.js + Express / Firebase / Django
• Database: Firebase / PostgreSQL / MongoDB
• Hosting: AWS / Google Cloud
• Payment Gateway: Stripe (NZD support)

I’m open to the developer’s recommendations for the best stack to ensure scalability and low cost in NZ.

⸻

Timeline:

MVP (Minimum Viable Product) should be ready in 8weeks including testing and feedback rounds.

⸻

Deliverables:
1. Fully functional web MVP (responsive design).
2. Admin dashboard.
3. API ready for future mobile app.
4. Documentation + deployment setup.
5. Post-launch 1-month support (bug fixes).

⸻

What I’m Looking For:
• Experienced full-stack team or freelancer with prior work in booking/e-commerce/marketplace apps.
• Proven ability to build secure, scalable systems.
• Clean UI/UX skills.
• Excellent communication & milestone tracking.

Please share:
1. Examples of similar projects you’ve built.
2. Proposed tech stack and timeline.
3. Estimated fixed-price quote for MVP delivery." (client-provided description)
