Local Service Marketplace Website

I’m building an online hub that connects everyday shoppers with nearby businesses. The site needs to feel contemporary and intuitive on desktop and mobile, guiding visitors from a clean homepage to individual business pages where they can read details, browse photos, and check public ratings before deciding to reach out.

Core functions I must see working:

• Responsive front-end that loads quickly and passes basic accessibility checks
• A business profile module—each local company gets its own page with description, images, contact links, and a live average rating
• Secure review and rating system so only logged-in customers can post feedback, edit it, or delete it
• Lightweight admin area for me to add, edit, or deactivate listings and moderate reviews

If you build with a mainstream stack react js, let me know; I’m open as long as future updates stay straightforward. I don’t need an appointment-booking tool right now, but the architecture should leave room to slot one in later without a ground-up rebuild.

Please share a couple of live marketplace or directory links you’ve delivered, note the tech you’d prefer for this job, and outline your timeline for the MVP launch.
