Marketplace platforms · Website
Give providers and buyers each a clear way in, and show real choice on the first screen.
A website for a marketplace is the public front of the platform, serving buyers who want to book and providers who want to join. GullySales works on the structure, the pages and the sign-up path so each visitor reaches the right door and sees proof that it works.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What website means
A website is the page a customer lands on after searching, clicking an advert or scanning a code, and it decides whether they call or leave. GullySales builds and maintains sites that load quickly, explain the offer plainly and make the enquiry form or phone number easy to find.

For marketplace platforms
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Visitors arrive as two different people”
A buyer wants to see options and a booking path. A provider wants to see how leads arrive and what it costs. A home page that speaks to both with one headline loses each. Two clear entrances, labelled in the visitors' own words, lead each to the right pages.
“The first screen should show real supply”
A buyer who lands on a search page and sees empty results leaves. Show actual providers or listings for the locality, and where there are few, say so and show the nearest alternatives. Honesty about coverage builds more trust than a page that implies choice.
“Provider sign-up should be short and honest”
A long form asking for documents before the provider has seen any value loses them. Ask for the minimum to start, explain what is checked and when, and show how a first lead arrives. Verification can follow once the provider has a reason to complete it.
“The site and the app store page must agree”
A provider reads the app store page and then the website. If they describe different offers, the visitor cannot tell what the platform is. One description of what the platform does, who it serves and what it charges should appear on every surface.
What we do
What we deliver for marketplace platforms.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A two-entrance home page
A home page with one route for buyers and one for providers, each with its own proof and next step.
Result: A home page where each visitor finds their path in one click.
Service and locality landing pages
Pages for each service and area showing live providers, how booking works and what the platform checks.
Result: A page per served locality that links to booking.
A provider join page
A page covering how leads arrive, what the fee is and how payment works, with a short sign-up form.
Result: A join page with a form that creates a CRM record.
Trust and policy pages
Clear pages on verification, payment protection, reviews and disputes, written in plain language.
Result: A set of pages linked from every booking step.
Tracking and mobile checks
Event tracking on sign-up and booking, and a review of how pages load and read on a typical phone.
Result: A list of tracked events and a mobile review note.
How the result is measured
- Page load time
- Bounce rate
- Enquiries from the website
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Searches your buyers type
The website has to answer these searches on the first screen.
- hire a verified carpenter in Chennai
- The first screen shows verified carpenters with photographs and areas covered. A sign-up form here loses the buyer.
- how to become a service provider on [platform]
- A provider page stating the fee, the documents and the sign-up steps. A short form beneath it keeps the decision with the provider.
- is [platform] safe to use
- A trust page covering verification, payment protection and complaint handling. Buyers search this before their first booking.
- [platform] commission for sellers
- A fee page with a worked example in rupees. Providers read it carefully and leave if it is vague.
- [platform] customer care number
- A support page with reachable channels. A buyer with a problem who cannot find help will tell others.
Who it is for
This is written for these marketplace platforms.
- Home and local services marketplaces
- B2B sourcing and trade marketplaces
- Freelancer and professional talent marketplaces
- Rental and equipment-sharing platforms
- Tutor, coach and course marketplaces
- Used goods and vehicle marketplaces
- Farm produce and agri input marketplaces
- Event, wedding and vendor discovery platforms
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You have no live providers to show on the first screen, so the site would ask visitors to trust an empty shelf.
- The app and the site describe the service differently, and the first task is to agree one description.
- Sign-up and booking do not work on a basic phone, so a polished design would only look good on a screen where your users are not.
How it works
How the website work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Confirm structure and content
We agree the page list, what each page must answer, and who supplies the text and photographs, before any design starts.
- 2
Design the templates
The home page, a service page, a location page and the enquiry page are designed first, on phone and desktop, and shown to you.
- 3
Build and test
The site is built and checked on real phones and the common browsers. Every form, call button and WhatsApp link is tested end to end.
- 4
Load real content
Actual copy, images and information replace placeholders. Pages are read through once by you, since you spot wrong details we cannot.
- 5
Check before launch
Tracking, page titles, the sitemap and the privacy page are checked on the staging site. If an old site exists, its addresses are mapped so old links still land somewhere.
- 6
Launch and hand over access
The site goes live and we record the domain, hosting, content login and analytics in your name. The first live enquiry is traced to confirm tracking works.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
