Custom Yelp-Style Niche Site Development
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m building a brand-new review platform for a niche outside the usual restaurant, healthcare, or entertainment space. Think “Yelp,” but tightly focused on one industry that I’ll share once we start. I need the entire site designed and developed from scratch, front-end through back-end, with these core capabilities baked in:
• Business profiles users can claim or create
• Location-based search so visitors immediately see nearby listings
• An “at-a-glance” section on every profile for quick stats and highlights based on the niche
• User-generated content: text reviews, photo uploads, and a familiar 1–5 star rating system
• Collections section where users can save businesses they would like to visit in future
The finished product should be responsive, SEO-friendly, and ready to scale as traffic grows. Clean code, intuitive UX, and a clear path for adding future features are a must. If you’ve built directory or review sites before, I’d love to see live examples and hear how you’d structure the database, handle moderation, and optimise performance.
Deliverables will include the fully functional website deployed to my hosting, source code in a git repo, and brief technical documentation so I can manage basic admin tasks on my own.
