Build Service Ad Marketplace

I want to launch an online marketplace dedicated to Services, starting with the Professional Services niche—specifically influencer-related offerings such as social-media shout-outs, campaign consulting, and brand collaborations. Providers need to be able to create rich ads that include multiple images, detailed descriptions, pricing, and availability. Clients should browse, search, filter, and contact or book those service ads with ease.

Core workflow:
• Provider sign-up and profile creation
• Ad posting form (text, image upload, categories, price)
• Search, category filters, and location tagging
• In-platform messaging or enquiry system
• Secure checkout with escrow or direct payments
• Admin dashboard for user, listing, and dispute management
• Responsive UI for web and mobile

While the first release concentrates on influencer services, the platform architecture should remain flexible so I can later introduce Home or Event Services without a full rebuild.

Tech stack is open, but I lean toward widely supported frameworks (Laravel, Django, MERN, etc.) with a relational database and an S3-style image store. Clean code, robust security, and clear documentation are essential. If you have experience building service marketplaces or classifieds with similar features, I’d love to see relevant demos or repos along with your proposal.
