Intro of case
Built a simplified, single-seller freelance marketplace focused exclusively on graphic design services (logos, flyers, business cards, illustrations). Client wanted a Fiverr-like experience but much cleaner, faster, and centered around their own portfolio and gigs – no multi-vendor complexity.
- Strong landing page with attention-grabbing hero, “How it Works”, previous work showcase, gig categories, Why Choose Us, FAQ
- Category-filtered portfolio (image gallery style, no links initially)
- Custom gig pages with single pricing package
- Direct checkout via WooCommerce
