I’m looking to build a web-based marketplace similar to ePal, focused on chat and gaming services. The platform connects clients with creators, allowing users to browse creator profiles, view services, and place orders. Payments will be integrated in a later phase, so this is an MVP-focused build. Core Roles Client Creator Admin Core Features & Requirements Authentication & Roles Email/password authentication (social login optional) Users can be clients, creators, or both Admin role with restricted access Public Marketplace Homepage with categories (Chat / Games) Browse creators page with search and filters Creator cards showing avatar, name, category, and online/offline status Public creator profile pages Creator Profiles & Services Public profile with avatar, bio, categories, and status Creators can create, edit, activate/deactivate services Each service includes: title, description, category, price, and duration Service Purchasing Flow Before purchasing, clients can send a limited pre-purchase message to ask questions After purchase, a full order-based message thread is unlocked Orders have statuses (Pending, Accepted, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) Dashboards Client Dashboard: view orders and order status Creator Dashboard: manage services, view and manage incoming orders Wallet Page: creators can see total earnings based on completed orders Admin Panel Admin-only page View users, creators, and orders Ability to manually update order status if needed Navigation & UI Conditional navigation based on login state and role Clean, intuitive UI (desktop-first, responsive) Focus on MVP simplicity and scalability Technical Expectations Secure authentication and role-based access Simple, scalable database structure Order-based messaging (no real-time chat required for MVP) Please include: Examples of similar marketplace or SaaS platforms you’ve built Estimated timeline and cost range for an MVP Recommended tech stack (optional)
