A marketplace designed before it was built

A UK-based property maintenance marketplace startup came to CodeLeap needing to move fast: designs and a functional prototype to validate the concept with users and stakeholders and secure investment. CodeLeap's design team produced the full UX/UI and a clickable Figma prototype in a matter of weeks.

What we did CodeLeap produced a high-fidelity interactive Figma prototype covering both sides of the marketplace across the whole job lifecycle, with a design system and component library, polished enough for stakeholder conversations and detailed enough to serve as a development specification.

Our client is a seasoned entrepreneur and investor in the UK property maintenance sector with a clear vision: to build a digital marketplace that connects homeowners with trusted local tradespeople for property repairs and maintenance. CodeLeap partnered with them to design and deliver a high-fidelity, interactive Figma prototype that would bring the concept to life and serve as the foundation for development.

Product features

Homeowner Job Posting Flow

Streamlined interface for homeowners to describe their maintenance needs, upload photos, specify timing preferences and receive quotes from local tradespeople — designed to feel effortless from first tap to job posted.
Tradesperson Quoting Interface

Purpose-built experience for trades to browse available jobs, submit competitive quotes and communicate with homeowners about project details, so the professional side of the marketplace has parity with the consumer side.
Quote Comparison & Booking

Clear presentation of multiple quotes with tradesperson profiles, ratings and pricing to help homeowners make informed decisions and book with confidence — a decision surface, not a wall of numbers.
Tradesperson Profiles & Reviews

Detailed profiles showcasing trades' specialties, credentials and customer reviews to build trust and enable quality-based selection — trust surfaces the marketplace depends on.
Job Lifecycle Management

Complete flow from initial job posting through quote acceptance, work in progress and post-completion review, designed to feel natural for both parties across the whole engagement, not just the booking moment.

Challenge

A UK-based startup came to CodeLeap with an idea for a mobile-first marketplace connecting homeowners with tradespeople for property maintenance work. They needed to move quickly to validate the concept with potential users and secure investment before proceeding to full development. The challenge was to design a comprehensive mobile app experience that could serve two distinct user groups — homeowners posting jobs and tradespeople quoting for work — while being visually compelling enough to demonstrate the product vision to investors. All within a compressed timeline.

Solution

CodeLeap's design team produced a full UX/UI design covering all key user journeys and screens across both sides of the marketplace, and an interactive Figma prototype that stakeholders could actually use. The design balanced two distinct user experiences within one coherent product, and the prototype was polished enough to serve both user testing and investor conversations. This gave the client tangible, testable material for validating the concept and progressing to development.
