Professional Services Marketplace Website Development

Hi, we are planning to develop a **professional services marketplace website** and would like to get your estimate for the development.

The initial user experience should be very simple. The first screen should allow the user to **describe their requirement/problem in normal language** through a large text box, rather than starting with a lengthy registration/form.

For example:

> “I need a CA for a GST notice.”
> “I need an accountant for my company.”
> “I need a CFO for my business.”

After entering the requirement, the website should guide the user to provide the relevant details and then connect/match the requirement with suitable professionals.

### Main Features

**Client/Business**

* Registration/Login
* Describe/post requirement
* Upload documents
* Select relevant category/service
* View suitable professionals
* Receive responses/proposals
* Shortlist and select
* Chat/communication

**Professional**

* Profile creation
* Qualification/credential verification
* Select expertise and services

**Admin**

* Professional verification
* Manage requirements
* Manage categories/services
* Membership/payment management

The website should be **modern, simple, professional, mobile responsive and easy to use**.

We also want the architecture to be **AI-ready**, so that AI can be added later for understanding requirements, analysing uploaded documents and matching the user with the most suitable professional.

Please provide separate estimates for:

1. **MVP without AI**
2. **MVP with AI**
3. Development timeline
4. Technology stack
5. Hosting/server and third-party costs
6. Annual maintenance/support cost

We want to start with an **MVP and scale the platform gradually**.
