Hi all!
I created this platform where home owners can post construction & renovation projects and contractors can submit quotes on them. I've been wanting to do this for a long time and now I finally managed to complete it. I'm not a professional programmer, so it probably doesn't look very fancy and has a lot of bugs. But I hope it can prove useful to some people. If anyone has any feedback and/or suggestions for improvement, please let me know anytime!
Regards
S

Impossible to see if this website would be useful without first signing up - skipped sorry. Harsh first feedback I know, but at least put a preview of the content even if its not interactive immediately) - a few screenshots, like you'd see on the App store before you download something, etc.

Yes, thank you very much for your valuable feedback! I will do that as soon as possible. I'm attaching some screenshots here for your reference. Btw, signing up is very easy for owners. Just need to enter email and password. There's no email confirmation.

Good initiative.
How many tradesmen have you got on board?
How strong is their English to be able to communicate thru the website?
It strikes me as maybe the tradesmen who will be able to use this are those who work with the contracting companies who have a head office function behind them doing the English comms for them.
Meaning that they'll be twice the price of the normal jeing who can speak a little English but can't read/write it.
Unless, you have a administrator doing the comms on behalf of the tradesmen...

I don't have much of a budget and I don't speak Khmer, so there isn't anyone on board at this time. I'm totally aware that it's not an ideal situation..but I've had this idea for a very long time, and I just had to put it out there to see what people think. If no-one ends up using it, that's ok. I learned a lot developing this project. It was definitely worth doing it either way. If anyone is interested to co-operate, they can let me know ([email protected]).
Btw, I now added screenshots to the site, as suggested by Spigzy.

My post certainly wasn't intended to criticise.
Perhaps there is a business opportunity there where you can take something like 10% of the fee maybe up to a maximum of $40 which would pay for an administrators salary, site maintenance and maybe turn a small profit for you.
I think there certainly is an opportunity there.

It's a great idea in the wrong country.

Northern Monkey, which country would you suggest this for? Thailand maybe? I know they already have this type of platform in developed markets like Malaysia and Singapore.
If they already have platform in ASEAN countries there might be a reason there's no coverage in Cambodia.
Full marks for trying.
