Keep your marketplace. Have it modernised.
Some founders are not done yet. Fair enough. We also modernise marketplaces for owners who keep them: the same rebuild work we do on the sites we acquire, done for you, at a fixed price, with your community treated the same way.
You keep ownership
Your domain, your members, your fees, your decisions. We do the engineering and hand it back with documentation your next developer can read.
Fixed price, staged delivery
A written quote after a free look under the hood. Work ships in steps you approve, members are told what is coming, and you can stop after any step.
Marketplace-specific
Not a generic web agency. Payments, payouts, fraud tooling, listing search and messaging are what we run every day across more than 45 marketplace sites.
What we can take on
Pick what you need. Most owners start with one or two and come back for the rest.
Mobile-friendly rebuild
Your pages, working on a phone. Familiar layout, responsive templates, installable as a web app with push notifications.
Speed and hosting
Caching in front and behind, index tuning, slow-query monitoring, a server sized for the traffic you actually have.
Payments and payouts
Modern card processing, buyer wallets, seller payouts with fraud holds, chargeback handling. Multiple providers so nobody can switch you off.
Search and listings
Full-text search that finds things, listing forms that work from a phone, image pipeline that accepts what phones produce.
Fraud and moderation tooling
Spam detection, identity verification, shadow-banning, report queues and a moderator dashboard. The defences we run across our own network.
Migration off old software
From a 2004 codebase, a forum plugin or a document store onto a maintained PHP framework, with members, listings, messages and feedback history carried across intact.
Backups and monitoring
Scheduled off-site backups, health checks, error dashboards, and a restore that has been tested. So the site survives the server.
A written audit only
A look under the hood and a plain-language report on what is fragile, what is fine and what to do first. Useful even if you do the work with someone else.
How it works
-
A short call and a look under the hood
You tell us what hurts. With your permission we review the code, the server, the database and the payment flows. This part is free and takes a week.
-
A written quote
A fixed price per piece of work, in plain language, with what is in and what is out. No hourly meter, no retainer.
-
Staged delivery
Each step goes live on its own, announced to your members in advance, with a rollback ready. You approve before the next step starts.
-
Handover and documentation
You get the code, the deployment recipe and a document that explains it, so you are not tied to us afterwards. Ongoing maintenance is available but never required.
Request a quote
Tell us about the site and what you would like fixed. We reply within two working days with next steps, and the audit is free.
Email works too. Include the site address and what is bothering you most.
Prefer to talk?
Nothing you tell us goes further, and we will not contact your members.
Quotes in US dollars, pounds or euros, work is remote, we correspond in English, Dutch, French and German.
