How do we develop marketplace applications?

We use the most customer-friendly and startup-centered approach to the web development of sites or applications. Let's look at it step by step:

Step 1

Introduction call

We get to know each other in person, go over the details of your idea, and, if necessary, sign an NDA. At the end of the call, you’ll get the first version of the project estimation.

Step 2

Project Discovery

We will gather requirements, analyze your business objectives, research products on the market, and provide you with a detailed assessment and decomposition of the project

Step 3

UI/UX design

You’ll get the design of your marketplace platform. To do that, we will conduct user research, then create informational architecture and get back to you with UX wireframes and clickable UI prototypes

Step 4

Development

Your design will become a live platform on a server. The QA testing is included. Simple as that

Step 5

Maintenance & Scaling

You launch a platform and drive initial traffic. We collect users' feedback and analyze it. Together we generate and prioritize the feature list for the following iterations.

Why do you choose us as a perfect fit for a startup?

A smooth user experience leads to increased user engagement and, as a result, a viral marketplace platform. A great UX is a result of overcoming endless challenges. Let's see which ones we've already dealt with:

I am very pleased with the work with the SpdLoad team. It seems that the Ukrainian software development market is very large, but it is very difficult to find a company that combines quality, speed and price at the highest level. SpdLoad is a company that always gives more than you expect. I recommend this team.

Thanks to the efforts of the SpdLoad team, the company was able to launch the project within six months of their initial engagement and the results were much better than what the company had originally planned. The company will work with the team again on similar projects.

  • e-commerce businesses

  • postal and logistics operators
  • real estate
  • financial organizations
  • marketplace app development, and IT development companies.

How does a marketplace website work?

The marketplace is a platform where the buyer can compare and buy goods at once from several sellers.

The marketplace website is a kind of intermediary between the consumer and those who offer their products or e-commerce services.

There you can sell countless products, provide convenient conditions for the purchase, provide the necessary guarantees, get quality assurance, and receive high-quality products.

The source of income for the marketplace is the commission for the e-commerce business.
