Freelance marketplace
Diatitis
An escrow marketplace where people abroad hire verified providers back home in Ghana, Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire, and the payment is held until they approve the work.
Custom marketplace development
Service and freelance marketplaces built around how your buyers and sellers really work: verified profiles, listings, orders with milestones, escrow payments, messaging and reviews, all in custom code you own.

How the build runs
- 01
Discovery
We map every type of user, page and edge case. You get a fixed quote and a module-by-module roadmap before any code is written.
- 02
Architecture
I design the database, admin panel and integrations first, so every feature fits the whole instead of being bolted on later.
- 03
Build
Modules arrive one at a time, working. You review and test as the platform grows, not all at once at the end.
- 04
Launch and support
I deploy, test and hand everything over, then stay on for fixes and new features as your business grows.

Questions about marketplace builds
Straight answers on cost, timeline and what is included.
How much does a marketplace cost?
A custom marketplace usually comes to $200–$1,200 and takes 1–6 weeks, depending on the modules it needs. The estimate on this site gives a range in about a minute, and every quote is confirmed personally.
Can the marketplace hold payments in escrow?
Yes. Clients pay upfront, the money is held, and it is released to the seller only when the work is approved, with disputes that pause payouts until they are settled.
Can buyers and sellers message each other?
Yes. Built-in messaging with file sharing keeps deals, delivery and support on your platform instead of email.
