This post is a comprehensive explanation of this idea all the way up to what I have now.
The idea: A business marketplace website that connects businesses with contractors to meet any need.
Businesses and contractors can create free accounts. Businesses can post to the marketplace to request bids on a complete project or just sections of a project. Contractors can go onto the marketplace and look for work based on their approved trades. This website will work kind of like Uship.
The website will NOT provide insurance to the contractors or the businesses, all contractors will be required to maintain all insurance required by law. The contractors will be required to maintain proof of insurance to the website to maintain their account.
Benefits to Contractors;
Benefits to Customers;
The main focus of this business is to protect the contractors and ensure quality work for customers. Right now there is a major issue with contractors not getting paid, why yes I agree with the fact that poor quality work that does not meet contractual obligations should not be rewarded, I also agree that there are a lot of good contractors out there that are getting screwed by large commercial customers who are trying to squeeze them for money.
There is a lot of work yet to be done but I have started by learning HTML/CSS.
