Hi there, You don't need a developer to copy templates or wire up a Stripe button. You need someone who has built this exact category before, working marketplaces with studio onboarding, booking workflows, multi-party payouts, and the kind of approval logic that keeps bad listings from going live before you catch them. I've built directory platforms and MVPs that collect applications, approve vendors, route payments through Stripe Connect, and handle booking state across customers, vendors, and admins. I did this for Pink Robin Inc., a full marketplace build on WooCommerce that handled vendor onboarding, product approval flows, and commission splits. The platform still runs today and processes real bookings. For Midnight Riviera, this is what I'd build: 1. Studio marketplace first. Browse page with clean cards. Individual studio profiles with image galleries, equipment lists, availability calendars, and booking CTAs. Search and filter by location, amenities, price range, and availability windows. Mobile-responsive throughout. 2. Studio onboarding and approval. Studios submit application forms with business info, photos, pricing, availability, and equipment details. Everything routes to an admin dashboard where you can review, request edits, approve, or reject. Once approved, profiles publish to the marketplace automatically. No manual copy-paste needed. 3. Booking workflow with state management. Customer selects studio and requests a date/time. Studio receives notification and can accept or reject the request. On acceptance, customer pays via Stripe. Booking status updates automatically and both parties get confirmations. Status tracking across the entire lifecycle. 4. Stripe Connect for payouts. Platform collects your commission percentage, studio receives the remainder. Clean ledger of all transactions visible in admin. Refund and cancellation flows built in from the start. 5. Events section. You can add, edit, and remove events through admin. Each event gets its own page with images, descriptions, date/location, and pricing. Ticket button links to external ticketing provider for MVP (Eventbrite, etc.). 6. Admin dashboard. Manage events, review studio applications, approve or reject listings, view bookings, and see payment history. Clean interface, no friction. Stack-wise, I'd recommend Next.js for the frontend and API routes, Supabase for the database and auth, Stripe Connect for payments, and Vercel for deployment. That gives you speed, scalability, and a codebase clean enough to hand off or expand later without rewrites. You'll get full ownership: source code, GitHub repo, database access, deployment credentials, Stripe integration, and documentation so your next developer (or you) can pick it up without translation. Timeline would be 4-5 weeks for full MVP build, testing, and handoff. Budget is workable at $3,000 if we stay focused on the core flows and don't scope-creep into custom ticketing or advanced analytics during MVP. If this direction feels aligned, I can send a more detailed feature breakdown and milestone structure so you know exactly what ships and when. Trust, Tai
