Bubble.io Developer Needed — Tattoo Artist Discovery & Booking App (MVP)

I am building a two-sided marketplace app for tattoo artists and customers. Budget $500-1500$. Think Instagram meets Yelp for tattoo artists. Customers can search for artists by style and location, browse portfolios on a map, save favourites, and send booking enquiries directly through the app. Artists get their own profile page, portfolio gallery, enquiry inbox, and a booking availability toggle. The app is currently unnamed but the concept, structure, and design are fully defined and ready to hand over to a developer immediately. I have already completed: ✅ Full product blueprint with every screen mapped out in detail ✅ Complete database structure — tables, fields, and relationships defined ✅ Clickable prototypes of both the customer-facing side and the artist dashboard ✅ Competitor research and market analysis ✅ Go-to-market plan targeting Melbourne, Australia as the launch city This is a serious project with real planning behind it. I am not technical myself but I am organised, responsive, and ready to move quickly. --- **What needs to be built:** Customer side: — Sign up and onboarding flow — Discover feed showing artist portfolio photos in a grid — Search and filter by tattoo style, location radius, and booking availability — MAP VIEW — interactive Google Maps screen showing artist pin locations, tapping a pin opens a preview card with the artist's photo, name, style, and a link to their full profile. Customers can search by suburb, postcode, or use their current GPS location to find artists near them — Toggle between map view and grid view on the discover screen — Artist profile page (photo gallery, bio, style tags, location, booking status) — Save and favourite artists — Booking enquiry form (tattoo idea, placement, size, timeframe, reference images) — Enquiry confirmation screen Artist side: — Sign up and profile creation (name, bio, studio, location, style tags, profile photo, cover photo) — Location input during onboarding — artist pins their studio or working location on the map — Portfolio management (upload photos, add style tags and captions, delete photos) — Booking availability toggle (taking bookings / waitlist only) — Enquiries inbox (view new enquiries, mark as read, reply via email) — Basic dashboard showing profile views, enquiry count, and saves — Edit profile screen including ability to update their map location Shared: — User authentication (sign up, log in, log out) — Basic push notifications for new enquiries — Mobile-responsive design optimised for iPhone --- **Map feature detail — this is a core requirement:** The map is not optional and is central to the app experience. It must: — Use Google Maps API integrated into Bubble — Show tattoo artist locations as pins on the map — Allow customers to search by typing a suburb, city, or postcode and have the map zoom to that area — Allow customers to use their current GPS location to find artists nearby — Show a distance radius filter (5km / 10km / 25km / 50km) — Display a pop-up preview card when a pin is tapped showing artist photo, name, top style, and booking status — Link from the preview card directly to the full artist profile — Update results in real time as the customer moves or zooms the map — Work alongside the style filter so customers can search for example Fine Line artists within 10km of their location simultaneously Please confirm in your proposal that you have built Google Maps integration in Bubble before and can deliver this feature. --- **Tech requirements:** — Built entirely in Bubble.io — Google Maps API for map view, location search, and GPS detection — Cloudinary or Bubble native storage for photo uploads — SendGrid or similar for email notifications — Clean, minimal visual design — think simple and modern, not cluttered --- **Project details:** Scope: MVP only — the features listed above, nothing extra Timeline: 4–6 weeks preferred, maximum 8 weeks Budget: Fixed price $500–$1,500 — please only apply if you are comfortable with this range Payment: Milestone-based — broken into 4 stages tied to progress Location: Open to worldwide applicants --- **Milestone payment structure:** — Milestone 1 (25%) — Project kickoff, database set up, core screens started — Milestone 2 (25%) — Customer-facing screens complete including map view — Milestone 3 (25%) — Artist dashboard complete and working — Milestone 4 (25%) — Full MVP tested, feedback addressed, project signed off --- **What I am looking for in a developer:** — Proven Bubble.io experience — marketplace or two-sided apps specifically — Has built Google Maps integration in Bubble before — this is essential — Portfolio of real Bubble apps I can look at before hiring — Clear communicator in English — I will need things explained in plain language — Honest about timelines — I would rather know upfront if something takes longer — Reliable and responsive — I expect updates at least every 2–3 days — Comfortable working with a non-technical founder who has a clear vision --- **To apply you must include:** 1. A link or screenshot of a two-sided marketplace app you have built in Bubble 2. Confirmation that you have built Google Maps integration in Bubble before 3. Your fixed price quote and estimated timeline for this project 4. One paragraph on why you are the right person for this Proposals that do not include all four of the above will not be considered.
