Handoff
No ongoing feeYou take over the agreed release. I still fix build defects for 30 days; ongoing updates and operational help are separate.
A large directory needs more than cards and filters. Geography, ownership, moderation, media, monetization, search, migration, and recovery all have to agree.
Across separate builds: 51,098-page public release · 1,202,321-row migration rehearsal · 100 passed URL and SEO parity checks
A marketplace or directory fitted to the vertical, geography, listing model, moderation rules, monetization, and existing data.
I fit the data model, rules, interface, integrations, permissions, hosting, review steps, and reporting to your business. The real work is joining those parts without breaking the operation you already have.
Runs on your domains, servers, storage, and provider accounts. For regulated or sensitive markets, ownership and moderation rules are agreed before the build.
Separate builds cover a 51,098-page public directory release, a reconciled 1.2-million-row migration rehearsal, and replacement slices for an established live marketplace: accounts, listings, advertiser billing and paid placement, messaging, media, search, and operator tools. The replacement’s final cutover is not approved.
I inspect the current system, map what can be reused, identify the risky parts, and leave you with a build plan and a tighter price. Clear scopes go straight to a quote.
This gives you the right order of magnitude. Data quality, integrations, migrations, deadlines, and who runs production can move it.
The estimate assumes one main decision-maker, workable source data, your hosting, and that I keep the reusable core.
For 30 days after handoff, I fix anything that does not match the agreed build. After that, you can run it yourself or keep me on for maintenance, production help, or reserved development time.
