Custom Marketplace Development by Linkup Studio

This part of the work is included in the discovery phase as well. Our UX/UI design team will create an appealing marketplace for your target audience and will help you stand out among competitors with bright and convenient designs.

When we get a profound understanding of the key requirements from the previous stage, our designers begin creating wireframes, style options, and other deliverables. These rough sketches depict the layout of elements on a webpage without any color or branding. As soon as they are ready, we suggest our clients start development. Our practice shows parallel UI design creation and development processes going efficiently together. It helps clients save precious resources: time and money. 

Then, wireframes are transformed into interactive prototypes. The latter allows seeing and understanding the initial vision of user experience. When we agree upon the prototypes, our designers then create the final UI design. This flow ensures that the product both looks good and modern, and also provides a great and seamless user experience.

This stage of the marketplace website development process on average lasts from 1 to 3 months. Our business analysts deeply communicate with you and discover your vision concerning the solution you want to create or improve. This stage defines whether you need a product or service-based marketplace, what the target audience for such a solution is, what their pain points are, and why they may need to use a platform like this. The discovery phase is also meant for outlining the desired functionality and setting its priorities. Another benefit of this stage is that we think forward about the potential risks, roadblocks, and create some strategies and plans to overcome them.

One more benefit is that our specialists also love to challenge your ideas and help you validate them better – if you need to conduct more surveys, or have proof of the relevance of this idea, we can handle the survey and help you make sure your product will matter. All this is not going to cost you the whole world, but the benefit is immense.

When we perfectly understand your ideal product’s complexity, we can provide you with more precise time and cost estimation documents. With such an approach, you can be assured that we perfectly understand what you want and what you need as a result of our collaboration.

The discovery team comprises our experienced professionals in business analysis, UX/UI design, and technical architecture.

At Linkup Studio, we use the Agile methodology. This approach benefits our clients and development team as it allows us to minimize risks and consistently deliver high-quality software solutions on time. The development follows an Agile methodology with short, two-week sprints for efficient marketplace website creation. How does it work in reality? When the sprint begins, we set priorities on the tasks in the backlog, and then the development team starts building the needed functionality. To keep you informed about the current progress, there are demo calls with the team where we showcase the completed work.

The launch of a high-quality custom marketplace website marks the final stage of the development process, where the software solution becomes available to both end-users and search engines. Once QA engineers have approved the last version of the application, it is deployed to production.

There are also options where we can first launch the MVP product version so clients can use it for their business goals, like making marketing campaigns to attract customers or showing it to investors further to raise funds. At that time, our team can continue to develop other product features.

We offer the option to launch the MVP first, allowing clients to use it for business purposes, such as marketing campaigns to attract customers or presentations to investors to secure funding. At that time, our team will continue developing additional product features.

Our team of experts understands the significance of keeping businesses current and meeting customers' evolving demands. Therefore, we check the market for updates and offer you improvements and updates when we understand that they may be relevant and beneficial for your business. Additionally, we address all the bugs that may arise even after everything was tested.

We have flexible support and maintenance services to meet each client's unique needs. Our team's support period typically involves 40 hours of work per month. You can create a task backlog for our skilled development team to handle. If the task volume exceeds the support period's planned time, we will offer continued product development.
