Project Description
We are building a free marketplace platform for the granite, stone, and countertop industry. The goal is to create a tool where contractors, fabricators, installers, and helpers can find each other, connect, and exchange messages.
I am looking for a developer with real Sharetribe experience and strong marketplace UX understanding.
Core functionality needed:
* User registration and profiles
* Worker/helper profiles with:
* Photo
* Location
* Experience
* Skills
* Availability status
* Contact preferences

* Search and filtering by:
* Location
* Skills
* Trade type
* Availability
* User messaging system
* Marketplace-style profile browsing
* Map or location-based discovery if possible
* Ratings/reviews preferred
* Admin dashboard and moderation tools
The platform needs to feel modern, clean, fast, and intuitive. Mobile experience is important.
I need someone who can:
* Build a clean MVP quickly
* Customize Sharetribe properly
* Handle marketplace workflow customization
* Recommend the best structure and integrations for scaling later
Please provide:
* Examples of previous Sharetribe or marketplace projects
* Your level of Sharetribe customization experience

This project has long-term potential for ongoing development and expansion.
