Build B2B Beauty Booking Platform
Budget: £10 – £15 GBP
About the project
I'm building a B2B platform for wig makers and hair professionals to manage custom service bookings — think Acuity or Calendly, but purpose-built for services that need detailed specs, not just a time slot. Product name to be shared directly with the developer I move forward with.
The platform has two connected parts:
1. Client-facing booking widget
A multi-step form embedded on a wig maker's own website (Shopify, Squarespace, etc.) where their customers book services, select add-ons, and submit detailed specifications plus reference images. I already have a working HTML version of this built (7-step form with dynamic pricing, EmailJS integration) — it needs to be made fully embeddable anywhere and connected to a proper backend.
2. Provider dashboard (the main app)
This is where the wig maker manages their business — similar to Acuity's provider side. Core features:
- Inbox of incoming bookings with full spec sheets and reference images attached
- Accept / decline / reschedule bookings
- Calendar view across all services
- Client history (repeat clients don't need to resubmit specs from scratch)
- Notifications for new bookings
The two sides share one backend — a booking submitted through the widget should appear instantly in the dashboard.
Tech direction
Open to your recommendation, but I'm expecting something like:
-Frontend: React or Next.js
-Backend/database: Supabase or Firebase
-Hosting: Netlify or Vercel
-Payments: Stripe
-Dashboard should work as a PWA (installable on mobile home screen) — not a native app for v1
I'm comfortable with using AI-assisted development (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to move quickly and keep costs realistic — if you already work this way, that's a strong plus.
How I'd like to work together
Starting task (paid, fixed price): Embed my existing HTML booking form as a working widget on my Shopify store. This is a well-defined, contained task and a chance for us to test working together before discussing the bigger build.
If that goes well: ongoing paid work building out the provider dashboard described above, likely starting with a minimal version (bookings inbox + accept/decline) before adding calendar, notifications, and payments.
I'm a solo founder, self-funded, so I'm looking for someone comfortable with a lean MVP approach — build what's needed to prove the idea works, not a fully-loaded product on day one.
What I'm looking for in a developer:
Full-stack experience (frontend + backend + deployment), not just front-end/theme work
Comfortable working from a written brief and asking good clarifying questions
Experience with Shopify embeds/Liquid/API (for the starting task)
Ideally: has built a SaaS product or booking/marketplace-style platform before — please share a live link, not just a portfolio screenshot
Genuinely interested in the bigger picture — this starts small but the plan is to build a proper product from here
Reliable communication in English, comfortable with async updates (Loom videos, written specs)
To apply
Please include:
A link to something similar you've built (live, not just code)
Your experience with Shopify embeds specifically
Whether you use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) in your workflow
Your estimated timeline and price for the Shopify embed task
