Web MVP: Trade Quote Generator
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m ready to validate a new idea for tradespeople who need to create quotes fast. For this first release I only need a web-based MVP; the mobile apps will come later if the concept gains traction.
Scope of the MVP
• Build a responsive web application that lets a tradesman enter job details and instantly generate a polished quote.
• Import supplier lists and surface each supplier’s contact details inside the quote builder (no live pricing or inventory yet—those can wait).
• Produce a branded PDF that automatically places the user’s company logo and color palette on every page.
• Allow the finished PDF to be sent directly from the app via email and through the WhatsApp share flow.
Key expectations
– Clean, intuitive UI that works on phones, tablets, and desktops.
– Scalable codebase so future iOS/Android builds can reuse core logic.
– Admin settings where users upload their logo and select brand colors.
– Simple back-office dashboard (even basic) to view, edit, or resend quotes.
I’m flexible on tech stack; choose the framework you work fastest in, but keep the code modular and well-documented. If you’ve built quoting, invoicing, or PDF-generation tools before, let me know—links to live examples are a plus.
Deliverables
1. Functional web MVP deployed to a test server.
2. Source code with clear setup instructions.
3. Brief hand-off report outlining next-step recommendations for inventory, pricing, and mobile expansion.
I’d like to kick off soon and iterate quickly, so tell me how you’d tackle the build and what timeline you need.
