The problem
The business idea needed more than a brochure site. It needed a marketplace structure that could support stock, dealer profiles, browsing, search, and future growth.
Back to work
Diggable
A two-sided marketplace for architectural salvage, built so buyers can browse quality reclaimed materials and dealers can present their stock clearly.

What changed
We shaped the project into a focused two-sided product: buyers can find the right items faster, and dealers have a clearer way to show what they sell.
✓
What shipped
A public marketplace experience with listing pages, browse paths, search patterns, dealer-friendly structure, and a foundation ready for ongoing iteration.
Private details protected
Only the public-facing marketplace is shown. Internal planning notes, private communications, unpublished roadmap details, and commercial information stay out of the case study.
Solution timeline
- 1
Scope the marketplace
Mapped the public buyer journey, seller needs, and the first version of the product that could launch cleanly.
- 2
Design the product flow
Designed browsing, listing, and trust moments so the site felt useful rather than just decorative.
- 3
Build and connect the system
Implemented the public experience, data model, and content structure needed to manage marketplace inventory.
- 4
Launch and refine
Tested the public flow, tightened the launch experience, and left the product ready for the next build cycle.
Safe public proof
This page talks about the build in plain English. It avoids sensitive data and uses anonymised framing whenever the real client system is private.
