Freelance Service Platform Development

I’m launching a web-based platform whose core purpose is to connect freelancers with clients. The first service category I plan to highlight is Html work, so clean code structure and an intuitive developer-friendly layout matter a lot from day one. Here’s what I need you to build: • User profiles – separate signup flows for freelancers and clients, profile pictures, skills tags, and a short bio section. • Project listings – clients must be able to create, edit, and archive postings, while freelancers can browse and submit proposals. • Messaging system – real-time chat inside each project thread so both sides can clarify requirements before any work starts. Please architect the site for future growth: I’ll be adding Writing and Translation, Web and App Development, and Graphic Design categories later, so keep the database and navigation scalable. A modern tech stack (for example React or Vue on the front end with a robust REST or GraphQL API, secure authentication, and a responsive design) is preferred, but I’m open to your expert recommendations. If you’ve built marketplace or gig-economy sites before, let me see them. Tell me how long you’ll need for an MVP that includes the three features listed above and what milestones you suggest to keep progress transparent.
