Experiences Exchange Web App - 03/08/2025 13:22 EDT
Budget: €3,000 – €5,000 EUR
Hi, looking to develop a full-featured web application called Wildex, built entirely from scratch. This includes the front end, UX/UI design, back end, infrastructure, and everything in between. Not tied to any specific tech stack, open to your expert recommendations — as long as the solution adheres to modern standards of scalability, maintainability, and is delivered as fully custom code (no external platform lock-ins or recurring service dependencies).
About Wildex
Wildex is a multilingual (Spanish, English, German, Italian, and French), fully responsive platform that facilitates the exchange of hunting and fishing experiences through a proprietary digital currency called Wild Points (WP). It serves two core purposes:
1. Experience Booking – A system for Hosts to list and manage guided outdoor experiences, while Guests can search, book, and pay with WP.
2. Marketplace – A peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling related gear and accessories, also transacted in WP.
To ensure trust and security, all transactions go through a proprietary escrow system, holding funds until conditions are met and confirmed by both parties. Dispute resolution mechanisms are included for both experience bookings and item purchases.
Key Features and Requirements
Wildex is a fairly large and sophisticated project. Please refer to this project brief for a better understanding of the scope, user flows, and technical expectations:
Wildex Functional Overview: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10JL8JI9dfUAWN1DHBxjhvv3zFtC3E7rqG4wBa7dbX5Q/edit?tab=t.0
Some of the critical components to be developed include:
- User Roles & Flows: Hosts, Guests, Sellers, Buyers, and Admins—each with dedicated dashboards and flows
- Escrow Payment System: Logic for holding and releasing WP based on multi-step confirmations
- Booking Engine: Dynamic price calculation logic (per person, per day, per animal, services)
- Marketplace: Listing creation, Admin approval, buying flow, escrow, and delivery confirmation
- Dispute Management System: With file uploads, freezing funds, and Admin resolution
- Reviews System: Two-way, moderated review flow for both experiences and products
- CRM & Automated Communications: Over 40 in-app/email notifications with dynamic variables, editable via admin panel
- Wallet System: Balance tracking, WP purchasing (via Stripe/PayPal), promo code integration
- Admin Panel: Full control over listings, disputes, balances, categories, content, scoring, and notification templates
- Security & Compliance: Must follow OWASP guidelines, use encryption (data, password, end-to-end), reCAPTCHA, and rate limiting
- Environments: Proper separation of Development, Staging, and Production, with structured Git branching and version control
- Performance & SEO: Fast load times, server-side rendering, optimized images, structured data, and Core Web Vitals compliance
- Analytics Integration: Google Analytics and event tracking
- Daily Backups: Automated database snapshots retained for 14 days
Basic Visual Prototype Preview
Created a very basic visual prototype to help convey the overall feel of the platform. Please note: this is not functional and was created only to visualize potential layouts and interactions. (Audio is in Spanish and can be ignored.)

Ongoing Maintenance & Support
In addition to the initial build, also looking for ongoing support to handle occasional minor updates, performance improvements, and system monitoring. Please include a monthly estimate for this ongoing service as part of your proposal.
Next Steps
If you're interested, please review the linked document in detail and submit:
1. Most accurate budget estimate for developing the platform and ongoing maintenance.
2. Proposed approach and milestones
3. Proposed tech stack
Looking forward to hearing from you and discussing how we can bring Wildex to life.
Best regards,
Javi
