Freelance Marketplace Platform (Laravel)

This project is a feature-rich freelance service marketplace built with Laravel, inspired by platforms like Fiverr. It connects buyers and sellers through a streamlined gig-based system, enabling freelancers to offer services and clients to place, track, and manage orders with ease.

Designed with scalability, security, and usability in mind, the platform includes everything needed to run a professional two-sided marketplace — from user onboarding to order completion.

Key Features:

• Gig Listings: Freelancers can create services (gigs) with detailed descriptions, delivery time, pricing tiers, and optional extras.
• Order Workflow: Buyers can place orders, track progress, request revisions, and mark delivery complete in a structured order system.
• User Roles: Separate dashboards and permissions for sellers and buyers.
• Messaging System: Real-time communication between buyers and sellers with file sharing support.
• Payment Integration: Secure checkout and transaction management using payment gateways.
• Search & Filters: Category-based navigation with keyword search, rating filters, and sorting options.
• Review & Ratings: Buyers can leave feedback and ratings after completed orders to ensure service quality.
• Profile Management: Sellers can showcase experience, skills, and service history in a customizable profile.
• Dispute Handling (optional): Admins can review and resolve issues between buyers and sellers.

Tech Stack:

• Backend: Laravel
• Database: MySQL
• Auth: Laravel Breeze/Jetstream or custom multi-role auth
• Real-Time: Laravel Echo / Pusher (for live chat)
• Frontend: Blade / Bootstrap / Tailwind CSS
• Payments: Stripe, PayPal, or custom gateway integration

This platform was built for high flexibility and can be extended to support team-based gigs, digital downloads, seller verification, and advanced analytics.
