← ALL PROJECTSQabbad / CASE STUDY

A marketplace for local services in Malta.

Qabbad is a Malta-first marketplace for finding, quoting and booking local service providers. A Next.js website and an Expo app for iOS and Android share one Supabase backend, and both are live. I also designed the Qabbad brand and produced the reels for customers, providers and the brand itself.

WEBSITE PREVIEW
01 / THE CHALLENGE

The problem

Customers need to find providers, describe jobs and compare quotes. Providers need enough information to respond, arrange the work and manage bookings. Both sides need to trust the other before any money changes hands, and both need to hear about a job where they already are: on their phone.

02 / THE APPROACH

What I built

01

Service search and job briefs

Service discovery and structured job briefs help customers describe what they need and give providers useful context for responding.

02

Quotes, messaging and bookings

Matching, quotes, in-app messaging, bookings with calendar hand-off, and push and WhatsApp notifications connect discovery to the practical arrangements around a job.

03

Brand, accounts and trust

The Qabbad mark, wordmark and colours run across the website, the app and the reels. Customer and provider accounts share one backend across web and mobile, with verified reviews and moderation. Payment is agreed directly between customers and providers in the first release.

03 / INSIDE THE PROJECT

What’s inside

Structured job briefs

Guided requests that capture what, where and when before providers respond.

Provider profiles

Listings with services, availability and verified reviews.

Quotes and bookings

Quotes on a brief, bookings with calendar hand-off.

Messaging and notifications

In-app messaging, push notifications on both clients and WhatsApp notifications.

Reviews and moderation

Verified reviews with moderation and protected admin routes.

Web and native apps

Next.js website and Expo app for iOS and Android on one Supabase project, both live.

Brand

Logo, wordmark and colours designed for the launch.

Blog and on-page SEO

A blog and on-page optimisation in place from day one, so search impressions and clicks started at launch and have built steadily.
