MVP Job & Gig Platform

I’m building a lean, first-release web platform that blends a freelance gig marketplace with a traditional job board. Employers must be able to publish listings, while independent talent bids on short-term projects through a built-in bidding system. User authentication and profile areas are required for both sides of the market, and the overall look should feel professional and corporate to inspire trust among African businesses and talent before we scale globally.

Please outline in your proposal:
• Your exact fee structure (no placeholders)
• The core stack, frameworks, or SaaS tools you plan to use for the MVP build
• A realistic, phased timeline from kickoff to launch

I’m on a tight budget, so efficiency in code reuse and ready-made solutions is welcome as long as the finished product is secure, mobile-responsive, and easy to extend later.
