Description

Experience Level: Expert

Estimated project duration: 1 - 6 months

I am looking for an experienced Flutter developer or development team to build a Marketplace & Local Business Directory MVP for the UAE.

The application will allow customers to discover nearby businesses, browse categories, search merchants, view merchant profiles, and contact merchants directly via WhatsApp or phone.

This is a brand-new mobile application built from scratch.

- User registration and login
- Browse categories
- Search merchants

- Merchant registration
- Business profile management
- Categories
- Location management
- Image upload
- Contact information

Admin Dashboard

Preferred Technologies

Please include:
- Fixed price
- Timeline
- Milestones
- Technology stack
- Source code ownership
- Post-launch support
- Similar projects

Important:
The MVP does NOT include online payments or delivery management. These features will be developed in future phases.

Clarification Board Ask a Question

6:11am

few questions:

1. Do you already have the UI/UX designs (Figma/Adobe XD), or should I design the interfaces as well?

2. Will merchants create their own accounts, or will admins invite and approve them?

3. Will Google Maps be used only for displaying locations, or do you also need "near me" search and distance-based filtering?

4. Should merchant profiles include opening hours, galleries, social media links, ratings, and reviews in the MVP, or are those planned for future phases?

Hi Mohsen, the scope for the UAE marketplace MVP is very clear, but I have three quick questions to help us prepare an accurate timeline and quote:

1. Dashboards: Are the Merchant and Admin dashboards expected to be responsive web portals, or should they be integrated directly into the mobile app?

2. Backend Preference: Do you have a strict preference between the backend stacks you mentioned (Node.js + PostgreSQL vs. Firebase)?

3. UI/UX Design: Do you already have wireframes or Figma screens ready, or should we include UI/UX design as part of our milestone breakdown?

Thanks, looking forward to your clarification so we can finalize our proposal
