The business need
A marketplace needed to organize professional profiles, opportunities and the steps involved in connecting people.
The work
PkConnectDev is a freelance platform connecting people who need work done with professionals offering their services. This is a marketplace brief, not simply a collection of company pages: profiles, opportunities and the steps between finding someone and starting a conversation need to make sense together.
The build covers end-to-end platform development using Next.js, Laravel, MySQL and TypeScript. The customer-facing experience and the underlying records both matter. A useful marketplace makes it clear who a service is for, what information a professional needs to provide and how someone can take the next step.

From the brief to the handover
Our approach to PkConnectDev
How we approach a brief like this, from planning the work to reviewing the complete experience.
Map both sides of the marketplace
Start with the person looking for a professional and the person offering a service. Define what each needs to see, provide and manage.
Connect screens to records
Plan profiles, service information and opportunity journeys together so the interface and the data model describe the same process.
Review the complete journey
Walk through discovery, profile review and the agreed connection steps on mobile and desktop, including missing information and empty states.
