Content Writing Marketplace Website Development

I want to launch a web-based marketplace dedicated solely to content writing projects where only individual clients can post their briefs and freelance writers can place competitive bids.

Core features I need built:
• Account system that clearly separates the two roles—individual project owners and freelance writers.
• Project posting flow for individuals with fields for brief, word count, deadline, and budget.
• Real-time bidding module so writers can submit offers, revise them, and see basic bid statistics.
• Private messaging thread attached to each project for clarification and file exchange.
• Secure payment escrow, release on milestone approval, with a straightforward commission logic configurable from the admin panel.
• Ratings and review system for both sides after project completion.
• Responsive UI that feels modern and uncluttered; I’m open to your creative lead on visual style.
• Admin dashboard to monitor users, projects, disputes, and financials.

Acceptance criteria:
1. All user flows—from sign-up to project completion—tested end-to-end.
2. Bids and payments must persist after refresh and be reflected instantly to both parties.
3. Site should load in under three seconds on a standard 4G connection.
4. Code, environment setup instructions, and a short walkthrough video handed over on delivery.

Stack is flexible—feel free to propose what you’re most efficient with (Laravel, Django, Node, React, Vue, etc.). What matters is clean architecture, security best practices, and ease of future scaling. I look forward to seeing how you’d approach the build and how quickly you can get a minimum viable version online.
