Web Developer for EvoltTrader, a UK EV Marketplace
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
Project Brief: EVOLTTRADER.co.uk – Electric Vehicle Marketplace (UK)
I'm looking for a reliable and experienced web developer or team to build EvoltTrader.co.uk – a clean, fast, scalable listing platform focused exclusively on electric vehicles in the UK.
The goal is to create a mobile-friendly, modern, and intuitive platform that allows both private users and motor traders to easily submit, manage, and browse EV listings.
